UNSPSC 20143706 Vortex induced vibration VIV suppression equipment is a Commodity code that in state and local procurement practice covers aeration and water treatment equipment designed to suppress vibration, reduce biofilm and grease accumulation, and improve dissolved oxygen levels in wastewater systems. The code sees application primarily among county water and wastewater authorities and municipalities managing lift stations, wet wells, and water reclamation facilities. Recent solicitations show procurement of proprietary aeration systems (such as Wet Well Wizard equipment) for ongoing installation and maintenance across multiple lift station locations, as well as related water treatment infrastructure components including automatic strainers and well maintenance services. Issuing bodies are predominantly county departments of public works and water/wastewater services, with occasional participation by municipal departments of watershed management and engineering firms supporting design and capital renewal projects for water reclamation facilities.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Georgia. Hillsborough County (Florida) posted a sole-source procurement in September 2026 (SS2600397) for installation and five-year maintenance of Wet Well Wizard aeration systems at an estimated cost of $5.371 million; the notice is restricted to Agora Water Solutions LLC as the sole patent holder and authorized service provider, with challenges to the intended award due by September 22, 2026. The same county previously solicited water well maintenance and repair services in May 2026 (ITB2600234) estimated at $688,073 over two years. The Unified Government of Athens-Clarke County, Georgia requested bids in May 2026 (IFB BID #26042) for removal and direct replacement of a 16-inch automatic strainer at the North Oconee Water Reclamation Facility, with an estimated budget of $125,000 to $175,000 and bids due June 12, 2026. The City of Bend, Oregon issued an RFP in April 2026 (26-3256) for engineering services to design and implement improvements to River Well #1, a 1972-constructed municipal groundwater source, with engineering services estimated at approximately $525,000 and full project costs ranging from $3.8 million to $5.2 million depending on the selected alternative. These opportunities reflect ongoing capital investment in aging wastewater and groundwater infrastructure across state and local jurisdictions.
