UNSPSC 30181802: Faucet aerator

A device installed in a faucet or showerhead that adds air to the water flow, thereby maintaining an effective water spray while reducing overall water consumption.

UNSPSC 30181802 Faucet aerator is a Commodity code that captures low-flow and water-conservation plumbing fixtures state and local governments procure as components of larger facility renovations, maintenance contracts, and restroom modernization projects. The code sees steady activity across diverse issuing bodies—school districts, county facilities departments, transit authorities, and city public works—typically embedded within broader plumbing-supply or restroom-renovation solicitations rather than as standalone purchases. Recent opportunities show faucet aerators specified as part of comprehensive fixture upgrades in projects ranging from Pembroke Pines restroom renovations (estimated contract value $310,000, low-flow toilets and showerheads included) to Clayton County Water Authority restroom work and Texas HHS plumbing-parts procurement for Vernon State Hospital. The code does not appear as a standalone line item in recent activity; instead, aerators surface as fixture components within scope-of-work narratives addressing water conservation, ADA compliance, and energy efficiency across facility upgrades.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida (Seminole County, City of Pembroke Pines, Pinellas County), Texas (TDCJ, HHS Commission, Fort Worth), Georgia (Clayton County Water Authority, DeKalb County Schools, Gwinnett County), and the upper Midwest. Issuing bodies include county school districts (Fulton County Schools, DeKalb County, Gwinnett County Public Schools), water authorities (Clayton County Water Authority), state agencies (Texas HHS, TDCJ), and municipal public works departments (City of Fort Worth, City of Phoenix). Recent representative opportunities include the City of Pembroke Pines restroom renovation RFB (IFB #RE-26-03, bids due July 21, 2026, $310,000 estimated value, with specification of low-flow toilets and showerheads as part of complete plumbing-fixture replacement) and Fulton County Schools plumbing-supplies IFB (IFB 202-26, bids due June 17, 2026). The code sustains activity primarily as a component within larger restroom and water-efficiency projects rather than as an independent procurement category, making it a secondary procurement line useful for vendors positioned to supply fixture components as part of comprehensive facility maintenance or renovation contracts.
