UNSPSC 30181503: Showers

UNSPSC 30181503 Showers, a Commodity code, encompasses complete shower installations, fixtures, and related plumbing infrastructure for facility renovations and new construction. State and local governments procure shower stalls, shower enclosures, shower heads, mixing valves, water heaters, and associated drainage and plumbing components—often bundled within larger restroom renovation and building construction projects rather than as standalone commodity purchases. Recent solicitations show the code appearing in mixed-scope renovation work across diverse issuing bodies including cities (San Antonio, Port Wentworth, St. Marys, Bridgeport), counties (Seminole County, Brooks County, Clay County, Galveston County, Gwinnett County), school districts (Garland ISD, Fulton County Schools, South Georgia State College), transit and utility authorities (City of Ocala Electric Utility, Clayton County Water Authority), and state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Georgia Department of Aviation). No single buyer emerges as a repeat procurer under the code; activity is dispersed across jurisdictions and issuing-body types.

The scope of recent opportunities reveals shower work embedded in larger facility renovation RFPs and IFBs rather than standalone shower procurement. Representative recent solicitations include the City of San Antonio's Main Plaza Renovations (RFP, closed December 1, 2026), which included restroom renovations and shower facilities as part of a mixed-scope site project; the Town of Waterford, Connecticut's Police Department Locker Room Renovations (IFB 26011, due October 15, 2026), which specified construction of new shower facilities alongside toilet rooms and lockers; the City of St. Marys, Georgia's Women's Bathroom and Locker-Room Renovation at the Coast Guard Station (bid due October 6, 2026), which required converting existing facilities and installing new shower plumbing; Brooks County, Georgia's Jail Shower Stall Replacement Project (due September 17, 2026), a focused replacement of 40 shower stalls; Clay County, Florida's Fire Station 17 Shower Remodel (IFB 2526098, due August 24, 2026), which included conversion of a utility closet into a new shower space; and the City of Pembroke Pines' Restroom Renovations at Various Parks (IFB RE-26-03, closed July 21, 2026), covering five restroom facilities with locker-room showers under a federally funded, Davis-Bacon-compliant contract estimated at $310,000. Geographic activity concentrates in Florida (Seminole County, Clay County, Pembroke Pines, Ocala), Georgia (Brooks County, Port Wentworth, St. Marys, Clayton County Water Authority, South Georgia State College), Texas (Fort Worth, Galveston County), and scattered mid-Atlantic and southwestern jurisdictions. Issuing bodies typically bundle shower work within 90- to 180-day renovation timelines, impose prevailing-wage and federal compliance requirements when projects receive federal funding, and evaluate on low-bid or best-value bases. M/WBE encouragement and local-vendor preferences appear frequently in recent postings.
