UNSPSC 30121605: Manhole frames with covers

UNSPSC 30121605 Manhole frames with covers, a Commodity code, refers to cast-iron and ductile-iron utility infrastructure components that state and local governments procure for sewer, stormwater, and water system repair, rehabilitation, and new construction. Recent solicitations show municipalities buying manhole frames, covers, risers, and associated hardware for gravity and force-main systems, as well as cementitious and polyurethane rehabilitation linings applied to existing manhole structures to arrest corrosion and infiltration. State and local issuing bodies span cities (Tampa, Torrington, Bartow, Enfield, Roseburg, Austin, Rio Rancho, Jackson, Dallas, Waco, Meriden, Hayward, Palm Bay, Holly Hill), counties (Riverside, Santa Clara, Pinellas, Liberty, Gwinnett), and regional authorities (Long Beach Public Utilities, Dallas Water Utilities, Ellijay-Gilmer County Water & Sewerage Authority). Small cities and counties appear frequently as repeat buyers—Torrington, Bartow, and Enfield all posted frame-and-cover solicitations within the window. Issuers range from small towns replacing sections of aged infrastructure to major utilities managing system-wide rehabilitation programs.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida (Holly Hill, Pinellas, Hayward, Palm Bay, Bartow), Texas (Dallas, Waco, Rio Rancho), California (Hayward, Austin, Long Beach, Santa Clara), and the Southeast (Georgia, Connecticut, Utah). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Bartow (ITB 26-28, due September 9, 2026) for manhole and structures coatings using cementitious and polyurethane lining across gravity sewer and stormwater systems; the Town of Enfield, Connecticut (RFP, due August 11, 2026) for sewer-storm manhole covers, frames, and risers; Gwinnett County, Georgia (informal quotation, due June 30, 2026) for two 60-inch-diameter risers and six bolt-down manhole covers; Provo City (bid PR2026001029, due June 16, 2026) for storm drain materials including four 60-inch-diameter storm drain manholes and catch basins; and the City of Tampa (ITB 25P00256, opened June 6, 2025) for 19 line items of manhole frames, covers, rings, and grates with a $90,000 departmental budget. The code captures both commodity supply (frames, covers, risers, inlet boxes) and specialized services (internal manhole rehabilitation, lining, and assessment); recent solicitations also flag set-asides and preferences including SBE (Dallas, Pinellas, Torrington), MBE/WBE (Tampa, Torrington), and prevailing-wage and Buy-America compliance thresholds common in water infrastructure work funded through state revolving loans or federal grants.
