UNSPSC 30181503: Showers

UNSPSC 30181503 Showers, a Commodity code, encompasses fixtures, installation materials, and related equipment for shower systems in restrooms and locker room facilities. State and local governments procure under this code primarily through renovation and construction projects addressing facility upgrades, accessibility improvements, and modernization of aging infrastructure. Recent activity shows a concentration of restroom and shower renovation projects, including comprehensive facility upgrades at parks, schools, transit facilities, and municipal buildings where shower installation or replacement is part of broader interior renovation scopes.

Issuing bodies span counties, cities, school districts, and state institutions across the South and Southwest. The City of Pembroke Pines (Florida), Volusia County (Florida), the City of Tybee Island (Georgia), and Seminole County (Florida) have posted multiple restroom and locker room renovation solicitations in the past six months. Representative opportunities include the City of Pembroke Pines' RFB for Park Restroom and Locker Room Shower Renovations (IFB RE-26-03, due July 21, 2026), a comprehensive project covering five locations with an estimated value of $310,000 and Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements; the Volusia County Transit Authority's ITB for VOTRAN Transfer Plaza Restroom Renovations (26-B-46LL, due March 26, 2026), with an estimated cost of $225,000 and FTA compliance mandates; and the City of Pembroke Pines' earlier solicitation for Academic Village Locker Room Showers Renovation (RE-25-06, due July 1, 2025), a $50,000 project. Work typically includes removal and replacement of existing fixtures, installation of new low-flow showerheads and toilets meeting water efficiency standards, wall and floor finishes (epoxy or tile), lighting upgrades, grab bars, and accessibility modifications. Florida and Georgia dominate recent activity, with additional opportunities in Texas and Wisconsin. Most solicitations are competitively bid IFBs or RFQs with mandatory pre-bid meetings, Davis-Bacon compliance where federally funded, and completion timelines of 60 to 150 calendar days. Section 3 employment and local business preferences appear frequently on FTA-assisted projects.
