UNSPSC 24111822: Plant element part

Plant equipment means personal property of a capital nature (including equipment, machine tools, test equipment, furniture, vehicles, and accessory and auxiliary items) for use in manufacturing supplies, in performing services, or for any administrative or general plant purpose.

UNSPSC 24111822 Plant element part (Commodity) covers compressed gas storage and handling equipment — specifically CO2 tanks, underground fuel storage tanks, and related containment infrastructure that state and local governments procure for operational support at parks, aquatic facilities, and public safety installations. Recent activity shows two distinct procurement streams: rental and refill services for portable CO2 tanks supporting pool chemistry at county recreation facilities, and removal and decontamination of aging underground storage tanks at municipal fire stations and similar public assets. The issuing bodies are county operations divisions and city public works or facilities departments, both seeking single vendors through informal Quick Quote processes and sealed ITB bidding. Vendors must meet state certifications (Connecticut tank-removal licensing where applicable), carry standard commercial liability and workers' compensation insurance, comply with prevailing wage where required, and in tank-removal work demonstrate a minimum of two years of direct experience.

Activity concentrates in Florida and Connecticut. Collier County, Florida posted two identical CO2 rental and refill solicitations (QQ2026136 in June 2026 and QQ2026144 in October 2026) for monthly tank rental at nine 750-cubic-foot and five 125-cubic-foot units, plus refill and delivery at six county parks across North Collier, Big Corkscrew Island, Golden Gate, Eagle Lakes, Immokalee Sports Complex, and Vineyards facilities through September 30, 2027. The City of Meriden, Connecticut issued ITB B027-12 in August 2026 for removal, decontamination, and disposal of a 4,000-gallon double-wall underground storage tank at Engine Company #2 (168 Chamberlain Highway), with bids due September 9, 2026; the contract carries Connecticut prevailing-wage requirements, a local-vendor preference, and a $500-per-day liquidated-damages clause for delays. Both opportunity types require lump-sum or all-inclusive pricing, FOB destination delivery, and firm prices through contract expiration.
