UNSPSC 26131601: Traveling water screens

Water cleaning equipment. Prevents objects in the local water (rivers, lakes, dams) from entering power plant systems.

UNSPSC 26131601 Traveling water screens, a Commodity code, covers replacement drive shafts, pump bowl assemblies, and related mechanical equipment for water treatment plant operations. State and local water utilities procure under this code to maintain and upgrade core treatment infrastructure, including dual-shaft drives with motor systems, lineshaft pump bowl assemblies for potable water systems, and ancillary mechanical components required for ongoing treatment plant performance. Issuing bodies are primarily municipal water departments and city utilities responsible for public water supply and treatment; the recent activity reflects routine capital replacement and annual supply contracts rather than new construction.

The City of Tucson, Arizona, the City of Holly Hill, Florida, and the City of LaGrange, Georgia have posted recent opportunities under this code. Tucson is conducting an annual requirements contract solicitation for lineshaft pump bowl assemblies (eight-inch to fourteen-inch, three hundred to twenty-five hundred gallons per minute) to supply the Hayden Udall Water Treatment facility, with awards planned to three contractors per bid item and contract terms of one year with four optional renewal periods; the pre-submittal meeting was scheduled for December 1, 2025, with bid submission due December 15, 2025. Holly Hill pursued a sole-source procurement for a WesTech DS43 Dual Shaft Drive (Model No. DV8026) replacement for softener #2, valued at $113,067.00 total ($79,159.00 equipment, $33,908.00 installation), with adoption on September 22, 2020. LaGrange solicited sealed bids for water treatment chemicals (powdered activated carbon, liquid aluminum sulfate, sodium chlorite, chlorine, and other process chemicals) with a due date of June 8, 2026, though this opportunity appears misclassified under the traveling water screens code and does not reflect the mechanical equipment scope. Activity is concentrated in the Southwest and Southeast, with no recent opportunities reported in other regions.
