UNSPSC 20142904: Plastic holding tank

Tank constructed of plastic used to contain liquids.

UNSPSC 20142904 Plastic holding tank is a Commodity code covering portable water storage tanks and related consumable supplies procured by state and local agencies for operational support. Recent state and local solicitations show this code applied to two distinct use cases: firefighting support equipment and janitorial/operational consumables for public safety facilities. The Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issued an ITB in July 2026 for consumable janitorial and operational supplies totaling an estimated contract value of $765,679.84 for the County Fire Rescue Department, which operates 47 fire stations around the clock; products must be new and unused, delivered within 10 days of purchase order receipt under standard delivery, and sourced from authorized distributors. The Texas A&M Forest Service Purchasing Department issued an IFB in April 2026 for self-supporting portable water tanks — specifically three 10,000-gallon and four 5,000-gallon frameless, vinyl-constructed open-top collapsible tanks with 2-inch female NST/NH inlets designed for firefighting helicopter operations. Issuing bodies include county governments and state agencies with fire and emergency services missions; repeat buyers are not evident from the limited recent activity.

Geographic activity centers on Texas and Florida, with the Texas A&M Forest Service (College Station, Texas) and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (Tampa, Florida) representing the most recent solicitations. The Hillsborough County ITB-26-00319 closed July 24, 2026, with delivery coordinated to the Public Safety Operations Complex in Tampa. The Texas A&M Forest Service IFB-26-007 had a response deadline of April 29, 2026, with a written-questions deadline of April 22, 2026, and required pricing to remain firm for 12 months from bid opening; the agency determined that HUB subcontracting opportunities were improbable and indicated willingness to extend award terms to entities with joint purchasing inter-agency cooperation agreements.
