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, describes equipment and components for water treatment infrastructure, though recent state and local solicitations show the code is being applied loosely to a broader range of water treatment parts, equipment replacement, and maintenance services. The work being bought includes drive shaft assemblies and motors for treatment equipment, gravity thickener and clarifier mechanisms, coupling equipment for traveling bridges, OEM-certified parts and repair labor for standardized treatment equipment, and water and wastewater treatment chemicals. Issuing bodies span city and county water utilities and treatment authorities, with repeat activity from Florida municipal water systems (City of Holly Hill, City of Tampa, Hillsborough County) and Georgia water and wastewater providers (Macon Water Authority, City of LaGrange).

Recent opportunities reflect steady activity across the Southeast. The City of Holly Hill, Florida issued a sole-source IFB in September 2020 (though posted recently) for a $113,067 WesTech DS43 drive shaft replacement with turnkey installation at its Water Treatment Plant, due September 22, 2020. The Macon Water Authority posted an ITB on September 2, 2026 for a lump-sum contract to rebuild gravity thickeners 1, 2, and 3 and clarifier #6 at Rocky Creek WRF, with sealed bids due October 20, 2026 and a mandatory pre-bid meeting October 6, 2026. The City of Tampa issued RFQ 26-P-00518 on August 19, 2026 for Conductix couplers and motors for traveling bridges at the David L. Tippin Water Treatment Facility, due August 26, 2026. Hillsborough County announced a sole-source procurement award to TSC Jacobs, Inc. for five years of water and wastewater parts, repairs, and maintenance services at an estimated cost of $4,934,870, with a challenge deadline of July 29, 2026. The City of LaGrange, Georgia solicited sealed bids for eight water treatment chemicals in May 2026, due June 8, 2026.
