UNSPSC 24111803: Storage tanks

UNSPSC 24111803 Storage tanks (Commodity) encompasses water-storage and industrial-process tanks that state and local governments procure for facility operations, water treatment, and specialized applications. Recent opportunities show demand for both single-wall and double-wall vertical polyethylene storage tanks in the 500-gallon to 10,000-gallon range, with specifications driven by end-use requirements — food-grade FDA-compliant tanks for recirculating aquaculture systems, asphalt-storage tanks with electrical heating for transportation maintenance, and frac tank trailers for utility and contractor deployment. Issuing bodies include state university systems (University of Mississippi, University of Southern Mississippi), state transportation departments (Texas Department of Transportation), and state purchasing divisions acting as cooperative procurement vehicles. Work spans tank fabrication to specification, delivery, warranty and service-provider networks, and FOB-Destination fulfillment with advance coordination for installation scheduling.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Mississippi. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issued a statewide IFB on March 19, 2026 (Bid 304T-26-830A1.1, due April 14, 2026) for polyethylene horizontal tanks, vertical asphalt-heating tanks, and frac tank trailers across eleven line items, with contract term through June 30, 2027 and renewal options to 2030 and automatic line-item splitting to multiple vendors based on best value. The University of Southern Mississippi posted an IFB on September 21, 2026 (Bid 9280-27-R-IFBD-00012, due October 8, 2026) for ten 10,000-gallon single-wall noninsulated vertical tanks (Snyder Industries Model 32036 preferred equivalent) with FDA food-grade HDPE construction, NSF/ANSI Standard 61 certification, threaded-vented lids, and bulkhead fittings for aquaculture filtered-water storage. The University of Mississippi issued an IFB in July 2026 (9280-27-R-IFBD-00002, due August 12, 2026) for double-wall insulated vertical towers with no additional scope details published.
