UNSPSC 24111806: Dip tanks

UNSPSC 24111806 Dip tanks is a Commodity code representing specialized fluid-handling equipment and systems, though the recent state and local solicitation activity under this code reflects a narrower application: permanent aerial refilling cisterns engineered for wildland firefighting helicopter operations. The San Bernardino County Service Area 70F rebid for a Wildland Firefighting Helitanker Station solicits a 3,000–5,000-gallon open-top cistern system with integrated dechlorination, solar backup power, automated refill capability, and NSF/ANSI Standard 61-certified interior coating—equipment designed to withstand sustained winds exceeding 65 miles per hour and remain compatible with Bambi-bucket and snorkel hose helicopter-refilling operations. The cistern is one component of a broader construction project that includes water service connections, electrical shore power, perimeter fencing, wind identification systems, and site trenching. Issuing bodies under this code include county service areas and special-purpose districts managing public-safety infrastructure; the single recent opportunity reflects activity by a California county service authority.

The source supports one recent state and local opportunity: San Bernardino County Service Area 70F issued an IFB (sealed-bid) rebid for the Wildland Firefighting Helitanker Station with a response deadline of September 14, 2026. Work is located at Glen Helen Regional Park in San Bernardino, California. Bidders must hold California Class A contractor licensure, demonstrate three completed similar projects within five years, and comply with prevailing wage, apprenticeship ratios, and California Department of Industrial Relations registration requirements. The contract term runs 180 calendar days from Notice to Proceed, with liquidated damages of $1,800 per day for non-completion. Performance and Payment Bonds equal to 100 percent of the successful bid are required prior to execution. Geographic activity on this code is currently limited to California; no other state or local solicitations appear in the recent-opportunities block.
