UNSPSC 30181605: Drain

Plumbing fitting used as a conduit to remove water, or some other liquid, from somewhere that it is not wanted.

UNSPSC 30181605 Drain, a Commodity code, encompasses grease trap, septic tank, storm vault, and interceptor cleaning and disposal services that state and local governments procure on continuous, recurring bases to maintain wastewater infrastructure across municipal and institutional facilities. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers treating drain maintenance as both routine operational necessity and capital infrastructure replacement—from contract cleaning services under price agreements to large-scale underground drain and interceptor installation projects. Issuing bodies span school districts, cities, counties, water authorities, and public health systems, with San Antonio Independent School District appearing repeatedly as a high-volume buyer under general maintenance frameworks that include drain-related repair and replacement work. The geographic footprint is broad: Texas dominates recent activity (Harris County, City of Dallas, San Antonio ISD, Harris Health at Ben Taub), with additional solicitations posted from Florida (Clay County), Pennsylvania (Whitehall Borough), California (County of San Mateo), New Mexico (City of Albuquerque), Oregon (State of Oregon), and multi-jurisdictional cooperative purchasing through Sourcewell.

Recent representative opportunities reflect the code's practical scope. The City of Dallas issued an IFB on July 16, 2026 (due August 14, 2026) for a 60-month ID/IQ service price agreement covering sand trap, grease trap, septic tank, storm vault, and interceptor cleaning and disposal across multiple city facilities. Harris Health issued a Competitive Sealed Proposal on February 6, 2026 (due March 16, 2026) for comprehensive grease waste infrastructure replacement at Ben Taub Hospital, including excavation, trenching, and installation of sanitary sewer lines, storm drainage, and a Schier Great Basin grease interceptor (GB-1500 model), with an estimated budget of $948,500 and a 30% MWBE utilization goal. The City of Albuquerque's RFB (posted May 20, 2026, due June 22, 2026) for grease trap pumping and cleaning at 32 city and airport locations required vendors to hold a Hauled Waste permit and a Liquid Waste Transporter Permit, with pricing submitted by grease trap size category and service frequency across three-year base with optional one-year renewal. The County of San Mateo's RFP for combined sewer maintenance and grease trap services (posted May 4, 2026, due May 20, 2026) offered a five-year contract not to exceed $500,000 covering multiple correctional and medical facilities. Activity is steady through July 2026, with multiple active solicitations and service-agreement structures ranging from fixed-price cleaning contracts to large capital replacement projects with prevailing wage requirements, MWBE goals, and insurance minimums in the $1 million range.
