UNSPSC 23153410: Body skids

UNSPSC 23153410 Body skids is a Commodity code that captures specialized water treatment equipment assemblies — specifically, integrated flow-control and valve systems used in municipal potable water infrastructure. State and local governments procure these as complete or modular units to replace worn or obsolete equipment at treatment plants, with performance and materials specifications (cast iron bodies, stainless steel liners, AWWA and EPA compliance) tailored to potable water safety and durability. The City of Lubbock, Texas has been the issuing body visible in recent opportunities, soliciting through ITBs for water treatment equipment replacement at municipal treatment facilities. The scope of work includes factory assembly and testing to tight tolerances (±0.5 percent flow accuracy), materials certification for potable water contact, delivery to site, and provision of operation and maintenance manuals; installation is typically retained by the municipality.

The City of Lubbock, Texas posted ITB 26-19653-YB in May 2026 seeking a 16-inch venturi-type flow controller paired with an AWWA C504-compliant butterfly valve for the North Water Treatment Plant, with sealed bids due May 27, 2026. The equipment must fit within a 46.5-inch envelope, meet ASTM A536 Grade 65-45-12 cast iron and Type 316 stainless steel specifications, and be compatible with the City's existing EIM electric valve actuator. The ITB included a non-mandatory site visit on May 20, 2026, and allowed local-bidder preference (within five percent of lowest bid) for vendors with principal place of business within city limits on contracts under $500,000. Bidders must furnish three project references, a notarized non-collusion affidavit, and certifications on debarment status, Iran sanctions compliance, and cybersecurity risk. Geographic activity under this code is concentrated in Texas, with no other states represented in recent posting records.
