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 fixtures and faucets that state and local governments procure for facility renovations, maintenance, and new construction. Recent solicitations show this code is being applied to a broad range of building work—restroom renovations, lobby upgrades, police department locker rooms, park facilities, and single-family home reconstruction—where fixture selection and installation are components of larger projects rather than standalone supply or service contracts. Issuing bodies include city departments (San Antonio, Port Wentworth, Pembroke Pines, Fort Worth), county governments (Seminole County, Clay County, Galveston County), school districts (Fort Bend ISD, Fulton County Schools), utilities and special districts (City of Ocala Electric Utility, Clayton County Water Authority), and state agencies (Caltrans). Florida counties appear as repeat buyers, with Seminole County alone posting multiple home reconstruction bids with plumbing fixture scope. The geographic spread spans Texas, Florida, Georgia, Connecticut, California, and Arizona, with notable clusters in Florida and Texas.

Representative recent opportunities include the City of San Antonio's Main Plaza Renovations (RFP 2026118, due December 1, 2026), a design-build project that specifies site work, plumbing, and restroom renovations across a downtown public space; the Town of Waterford, Connecticut's Police Department Locker Room Renovations (IFB 26011, due October 15, 2026), covering selective demolition, new plumbing fixtures, toilet partitions, and accessories with 120-day completion and prevailing wage compliance; and Fort Bend Independent School District's Plumbing Parts, Materials, Maintenance and Repair Services (RFP 26-065AR, due October 21, 2026), an as-needed districtwide agreement split into two categories—parts and fixtures supply only, and maintenance and repair labor services—with three-year initial term and evaluation weighted toward quality, vendor reputation, and alignment with district needs. Smaller scrap opportunities also surface: Galveston County's Master Supply Agreement for plumbing equipment and supplies (due September 17, 2026) restricts vendors to a 35-mile radius of the Galveston County Courthouse, and the City of Ocala's grinder pump installation and force main connection (RFQ ELE/260651, due May 13, 2026) requires Florida plumbing contractor licensure and five years' experience. Activity is steady across calendar year 2026 with no evidence of sector contraction.
