UNSPSC 24111800: Tanks and cylinders and their accessories

UNSPSC 24111800 Tanks and cylinders and their accessories is a Class code encompassing the procurement of storage vessels and pressurized containers used across state and local operations, particularly for chemical treatment, water infrastructure, fuel storage, and specialized research applications. State and local governments under this code buy chlorine gas cylinders for water treatment (Pittsburgh Parks & Recreation), deicer pellets and liquid deicer in bulk containers for winter road maintenance (Florida Department of Transportation), large-volume polyethylene and stainless steel storage tanks for water systems and aquaculture facilities (University of Southern Mississippi, NC State University, University of Mississippi), replacement fuel storage tanks and associated piping (Florida Department of Transportation), and specialized vacuum tanks for aeronautics research. The issuing bodies include state transportation departments, city parks and water authorities, university facilities divisions, and special-purpose water districts. Issuers range from large state agencies managing fleets and infrastructure to smaller municipalities and regional water utilities with seasonal or one-time tank replacement needs.

Recent activity spans Florida, California, Mississippi, South Dakota, Massachusetts, Texas, Utah, and North Carolina.
