UNSPSC 20143403: Umbilical unit

The connective medium between surface installations and subsea developments, umbilicals can include electrical, hydraulic, chemical injection and fiber optic connections.

UNSPSC 20143403 Umbilical unit (Commodity) covers umbilical cables, hoses, tubing, and integrated connector assemblies used to deliver power, control signals, hydraulic fluid, and other services to subsea equipment, underwater infrastructure, and confined-space operational systems. State and local governments purchase these components primarily for wastewater treatment, water reclamation, well drilling and maintenance, and emergency dive response operations—applications where umbilical-like delivery systems are needed to support remote or hazardous work. Recent solicitations show state and local bodies buying installation, maintenance, and repair services for integrated aeration and injection systems used in lift stations and wastewater facilities, as well as procurement of specialized well-drilling supplies and diving support equipment.

Activity under this code is geographically dispersed across Florida, California, Georgia, and Oregon in recent months, with issuing bodies including county departments of public works (San Bernardino County, Hillsborough County), municipal water departments (City of Atlanta), special districts (Athens-Clarke County Unified Government), and regional water and wastewater authorities. Hillsborough County appears twice in the recent record—once for a five-year, $5.371 million sole-source aeration system installation and maintenance contract (Agora Water Solutions LLC, Wet Well Wizard systems, due September 22, 2026) and again for a two-year, $688,073 water well maintenance and repair services contract (ITB 26-00234, due June 12, 2026). San Bernardino County's well drilling project (SPD127SPDAD6517, due October 8, 2026) encompasses drilling, casing installation, and well development; Athens-Clarke County solicited replacement of an automatic strainer at its North Oconee Water Reclamation Facility (BID #26042, due June 12, 2026). The City of Atlanta's on-call diving services contract (IFB/GS/DWM/2606-1260235, due July 24, 2026) covers commercial diving support for wastewater and drinking water system infrastructure. These procurements reflect operational demand for specialized subsea, subterranean, and confined-space equipment and labor, though only the Hillsborough aeration and diving contracts directly map to umbilical-unit functionality.
