UNSPSC 24111814: Hot water tank

A tank that makes, stores, and supplies hot water used for bath, washing, cleansing, cleaning, and others.

UNSPSC 24111814 Hot water tank is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure testing, inspection, maintenance, repair, and emergency services for boilers, water heaters, and related heating equipment at public facilities. The recent activity shows solicitation for multi-unit preventative maintenance and corrective repair contracts covering steam generators, process heaters, and pressurized hot water systems serving county sheriff departments, municipal fire stations, and regional park systems. Issuing bodies include county sheriff departments, county operations divisions managing aquatic facilities, and municipal fire departments. While the code's nominal scope names water tanks, the actual work being bought covers the full lifecycle of commercial boiler and water heating systems — routine inspection, cleaning, certification, emergency response, parts replacement, and regulatory compliance work. Services include 24/7 emergency availability with contractually specified response times, compliance with air quality and pressure vessel regulations, and personnel security clearances for access to law enforcement facilities.

The most recent activity centers in California and Florida. The County of Orange, California Sheriff-Coroner Department posted an RFP on October 6, 2026 (Solicitation 0603118801MB, due October 14, 2026) for testing, insulation, and repair services covering 14 boiler and water heater units ranging from 167,000 to 4,999,000 BTU across five sheriff facilities, with a three-year initial term effective January 14, 2027, firm fixed-fee and hourly rates with materials reimbursed at cost plus markup, and 5% to 8% cost scoring adjustments for Orange County Local Small Business and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise certifications.

Collier County, Florida issued two Quick Quote solicitations for CO2 rental and refill services (QQ2026136 posted June 30, 2026 and QQ2026144 posted October 6, 2026), though these track to the code through equipment maintenance rather than hot water or boiler work per se.
