UNSPSC 30181700: Faucets or taps

Type of valve that controls water supply to bathtubs and sinks.

UNSPSC 30181700 Faucets or taps is a Class code covering plumbing fixture procurement for state and local capital projects, facility renovations, and routine operations and maintenance. State and local governments buy faucets, taps, and related fixtures as components of restroom and kitchen renovations, new construction, and emergency repair work across schools, transit authorities, county facilities, municipal buildings, and water utilities. Recent solicitations show faucets bundled into larger plumbing-supply and facilities-management contracts rather than procured standalone, with fixtures typically specified to meet ADA accessibility, low-flow conservation standards, and building code requirements.

The issuing body mix spans counties, municipalities, school districts, water authorities, and transit operators. Repeat buyers include Florida jurisdictions (Seminole County, Volusia County, Pembroke Pines, Pinellas County), Texas cities and utilities, and Georgia counties and school systems. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Pembroke Pines restroom renovation at park facilities (IFB #RE-26-03, due July 21, 2026) specifying low-flow toilets and showerheads as part of a $310,000 federally funded project; Volusia County's VOTRAN Transfer Plaza restroom renovation (ITB #26-B-46LL, due March 26, 2026) with ADA-compliant plumbing fixtures in a $225,000 scope; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission HVAC and plumbing parts procurement (IFB HHS0017447 V2, due July 28, 2026) including mixing valves and replacement cartridges for Vernon State Hospital. Geographic activity concentrates in Florida, Texas, and Georgia over the past six months, with additional activity in California, Wisconsin, Arizona, and North Carolina. Most opportunities are bundled into broader plumbing-supplies or facilities-renovation RFPs and IFBs rather than faucet-specific solicitations, reflecting procurement consolidation and the commodity's role as a component in larger capital or maintenance projects.
