UNSPSC 30181702: Faucet unit

A specialized tap for delivering a mixture of hot and cold water into a sink, or other vessel.

UNSPSC 30181702 Faucet unit is a Commodity code naming a single plumbing fixture product that state and local governments procure as a component or replacement item within larger facility renovation, maintenance, and repair projects. The code appears in procurement contexts where agencies are bundling faucet acquisition with broader scope work—bathrooms, restrooms, locker rooms, and utility spaces—rather than as a standalone supply contract. Recent state and local activity under this code reflects demand embedded in renovation solicitations issued by cities, counties, school districts, and special-purpose facilities rather than standalone faucet-procurement RFQs. Issuing bodies include municipal departments (San Antonio Capital Delivery, City of Phoenix Public Works, City of Port Wentworth, City of Ocala Electric Utility), counties (Seminole County in Florida, Pinal County in Arizona, Clayton County in Georgia, Galveston County in Texas, Gwinnett County in Georgia), school districts (Fort Bend Independent School District, Fulton County Schools, Garland Independent School District), and special-purpose institutions (University of Texas at Tyler, South Georgia State College, UT Health Science Center at Tyler). Representative recent opportunities show faucet procurement embedded within multitrade renovation work: the City of San Antonio's Main Plaza Renovations (RFP 2026118, due December 1, 2026) includes restroom renovations with new plumbing fixtures; Seminole County's home reconstruction solicitations (multiple IFBs, engineer's estimate $225,000 to $250,000 each) specify fixture replacement; and South Georgia State College's Collins Hall Restroom Renovation (RFQ, due June 30, 2026) covers "replacement of all plumbing fixtures" including faucets as part of complete restroom upgrades.

Geographic activity centers on Florida (Seminole County, Clay County, City of Ocala, Pinellas County, City of Pembroke Pines, City of St. Marys), Texas (Fort Bend ISD, City of Fort Worth, Galveston County, City of Tucson in Arizona, Columbus Consolidated Government in Georgia, UT Tyler), Arizona (Pinal County, City of Phoenix, City of Tucson), and Georgia (Port Wentworth, Clayton County, South Georgia State College, Fulton County Schools, Brooks County, Columbus Consolidated Government) with scattered activity in Connecticut (Town of Waterford), California (Santa Clara County), and other states. Faucet units are rarely procured as standalone commodity contracts; they appear in state and local buying when agencies bundle fixture replacement with labor-intensive renovation work under single design-build or general-contractor-led RFPs with 90- to 180-day completion timelines. Agencies typically specify fixture type (low-flow, ADA-compliant hand-free, luxury finishes) in scope documents and incorporate faucet installation into broader plumbing work packages. The code does not currently show activity driven by independent plumbing-supply or equipment-purchasing cooperatives; instead, faucet demand flows through general renovation vehicles where fixture selection is subordinate to schedule, budget, and facility-system integration. Competition is product-centric—vendors qualify on fixture availability, ADA compliance, energy performance, and manufacturer warranty—rather than on service delivery or geographic proximity.
