UNSPSC 23281904: Aqueous cleaning and washing equipment

Washing/cleaning system used in micro-chip and other production to remove waste products and other contaminants

UNSPSC 23281904 Aqueous cleaning and washing equipment, a Commodity code, encompasses industrial-scale powered cleaning systems that state and local governments procure for infrastructure maintenance, wastewater treatment operations, and utility system servicing. Recent state and local opportunities show this code applied to specialized equipment including hydro-excavation and vacuum valve exercisers for water system maintenance, press brakes and CNC routers for manufacturing and fabrication support, and pump and grinder replacement systems for wastewater treatment facilities. The issuing bodies span water authorities, county departments, university systems, and municipal utilities across multiple states. Texas A&M University System has posted multiple ITBs for press brakes under this code (most recently ITB TAMUS-ITB-27-0548 due October 29, 2026), while Sacramento County Water Agency solicited a Wachs-specification valve exerciser under RFB 2026-RFB-0104 due October 30, 2026—a self-contained, skid-mounted gasoline-powered unit with hydro-excavation and vacuum capabilities for fresh water system valve maintenance and repair. Gwinnett County Department of Water Resources has issued competitive sealed bids for pump station grinder replacement work (ITB PE77023NONST2027000000778 due November 20, 2026), encompassing equipment replacement, slide gates, and electrical systems within a 450-day completion window.

The code sees active procurement in Texas, Georgia, and California, with water and wastewater utilities as dominant buyers alongside academic and county maintenance operations. The geographic spread includes Texas (Texas A&M System, Sacramento County, Bell County water treatment modifications), Georgia (Gwinnett County, DeKalb County quick insertion valves ITB 2026-034-ITB due August 27, 2026), and Florida (Collier County single-source notices for centrifugal blowers and Vaughan pumps). Notice types are primarily ITBs and RFBs with firm response dates; Texas A&M uses AggieBid as its exclusive submission platform, while Sacramento County applies local business and micro-business preferences (5% and 2% respectively). Equipment specifications trend toward high-performance industrial units—hydro-excavation systems at 250-gallon capacity with 2,000 PSI hydraulics, grinder units with rail systems and control panels, and specialized pumps engineered to wastewater treatment performance parameters. Procurement activity is current and ongoing, with multiple open solicitations through October and November 2026.
