UNSPSC 20142904: Plastic holding tank

Tank constructed of plastic used to contain liquids.

UNSPSC 20142904 Plastic holding tank is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure plastic holding tanks—including collapsible water storage tanks for emergency and operational response, wastewater treatment facility storage tanks with accessories, and related holding and containment vessels—typically as capital equipment or consumable supplies integrated into public safety, water utility, or operational infrastructure. Recent solicitations show tanks ranging from 5,000-gallon frameless collapsible units for firefighting helicopter operations to 2,000-gallon high-density polyethylene vertical tanks for wastewater treatment plants. The issuing bodies span fire services departments, special-purpose water districts, and forestry services; tanks are sourced as one-time capital purchases or as part of broader consumable supplies contracts with multiple line items. Specifications emphasize durability, compliance with industry standards (ASTM, ANSI, NSF/ANSI 61, International Building Code), and vendor capacity to provide documentation, warranties, and delivery to remote operational sites.

Texas and Florida dominate recent activity under the code. The Texas A&M Forest Service Purchasing Department issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB-26-007) with a response deadline of April 29, 2026 for self-supporting portable water tanks (10,000-gallon and 5,000-gallon units, 22-ounce vinyl, frameless, collapsible) for helicopter firefighting operations. The North Texas Municipal Water District issued a sealed-bid solicitation (26103B, due April 9, 2026) for three 2,000-gallon high-density cross-linked polyethylene vertical storage tanks with accessories for the South Mesquite Creek Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant, requiring tank manufacturers to be pre-qualified (Poly Processing Company, Snyder Industries, Inc., or Assman Corporation of America or approved equal) and to carry five-year full replacement warranties. The Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida posted an ITB (ITB2600319, due July 24, 2026) for janitorial and operational supplies estimated at $765,679.84 for its Fire Rescue Department; while broader in scope, the contract includes consumable holding and storage items delivered to 47 fire stations. Response dates, technical specifications, and warranty requirements vary sharply across these opportunities, reflecting different service applications and risk profiles.
