UNSPSC 23281905: Thermal degreasing equipment

Machinery that employs elevated temperatures in combination with soaps, solvents or other cleansing agents for the purpose of removing residual oil, grease or other contaminants from the surfaces of parts.

UNSPSC 23281905 Thermal degreasing equipment, a Commodity code, encompasses industrial cleaning and degreasing systems that state and local governments procure for facility maintenance, wastewater treatment operations, and specialized equipment servicing. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show minimal direct alignment with the nominal scope — the posted opportunities span freezer installation, bridge replacement, trail construction, security systems, and equipment rentals, with thermal degreasing equipment appearing as a peripheral requirement in wastewater treatment contexts rather than as a primary procurement driver. The issuing bodies soliciting across the code's recent activity include county governments (Gwinnett County, Georgia; Orange County, Florida; Collier County, Florida; Indian River County, Florida; Dallas County, Texas), cities (Arlington, Texas; Bartow, Florida; Brownsville, Texas; Cibolo, Texas; Hayward, California), special-purpose districts (Monterey-Salinas Transit District, California; Atlanta Beltline, Inc.; Sourcewell cooperative purchasing), and school districts (Seminole County Board of Education, Florida; Southern Regional Technical College, Georgia). Among these, Collier County, Florida appears as a repeat buyer, soliciting for both a lime sludge dewatering belt filter press system (single source from Alfa Laval Inc., notice issued April 17, 2026) and a Vaughan centrifugal, chopper, and conditioning pumps contract (single source notice issued June 10, 2026, proposed term October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2029), both supporting wastewater treatment infrastructure.

Recent activity under this code concentrates in Florida and Georgia, with secondary activity in Texas, California, and Connecticut. Representative opportunities include Gwinnett County Sheriff's Office Freezer #8 Replacement Project (sealed bid IFB due August 7, 2026, pre-bid conference July 21, 2026); Orange County, Florida's Horizon West Trail — Phase 1A (sealed bid due August 13, 2026, estimated contract value $5,657,322, SDVOB preference 3–8 percent); and Collier County's single-source procurement for lime sludge dewatering equipment (notice of intent issued April 17, 2026, objection deadline May 8, 2026, proposed contract term October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2029). The code shows limited recent procurement volume directly targeting thermal degreasing equipment as a standalone product; wastewater treatment pumping and dewatering systems dominate the small set of relevant recent solicitations, suggesting the code's recent activity does not closely track the equipment category's nominal scope.
