UNSPSC 24111810: Water storage tanks

UNSPSC 24111810 Water storage tanks is a Commodity code that encompasses the supply, installation, rehabilitation, and maintenance of water storage tanks—both ground-level and elevated—used by municipal water systems, utilities, school districts, and regional water authorities. State and local governments procure under this code for new tank construction, replacement of aging infrastructure, interior and exterior coating and repainting, structural repairs, inspection and cleaning services, and ancillary work such as piping, foundations, and system integration. Issuing bodies span water utilities (regional water associations and county utility departments), municipalities (city water departments and metropolitan commissions), county governments, and specialized water districts. The recent solicitations show repeat activity from water authorities in rural areas—Union Church Water Association and Calhoun Water Association in Mississippi; Tohopekaliga Water Authority in Florida; and Charles County, Maryland—alongside occasional one-time procurements from cities and universities. Work ranges from routine maintenance and inspection services to multimillion-gallon tank replacements and comprehensive rehabilitation projects incorporating modern safety systems, coating technologies, and system upgrades.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast and Texas, with recent opportunities in Mississippi, Florida, Maryland, Texas, and North Carolina. Representative solicitations include West Texas A&M University's RFP 27-0003 (due August 12, 2026) for a 250,000-gallon water storage tank installation at a beef cattle feedlot with a mandatory pre-proposal conference on July 22; Charles County, Maryland's IFB for a 15,000-gallon horizontal steel reverse osmosis reject water storage tank with a 33.55% MWBE participation goal and prevailing wage requirements (due August 25, 2026); Seminole County Utilities Department's compressed six-day IFB 518326LTT for tank inspection, cleaning, and repair services with Addendum #2 issued June 18 (due June 24, 2026); and Garland City, Texas's RFP for rehabilitation of a 2.5-million-gallon elevated storage tank including surface recoating, structural repairs, and active mixing system installation (due June 25, 2026). Rural water associations in Mississippi also actively procure tank rehabilitation using state revolving loan funds and requiring compliance with Build America, Buy America Act provisions. The code shows steady procurement velocity across diverse project scales, from small utility district maintenance contracts to major municipal rehabilitation efforts.
