UNSPSC 30181804: Faucet handle

Handle used to start or stop the flow of water from a faucet.

UNSPSC 30181804 Faucet handle is a Commodity code that sits beneath broader plumbing fixture procurement, yet recent state and local solicitations show this code does not align with actual buying patterns. The sourced opportunities overwhelmingly reflect master-level plumbing services (installation, maintenance, repair), plumbing supply contracts (pipe, fittings, fixtures, equipment on an as-needed basis), and large building renovation projects that bundle plumbing work as one trade among many. Individual faucet-handle procurement—the discrete product this code nominally describes—does not appear in any of the recent opportunities. State and local buyers are acquiring plumbing capability and materials through comprehensive supply agreements, on-call service contracts, and design-build or general-contractor renovation solicitations, not through targeted Commodity-level purchases of a single fixture component. The issuing bodies span counties (Seminole County, Pinal County, Galveston County, Clay County, Gwinnett County), cities (San Antonio, Phoenix, Ocala, Tucson, Fort Worth, Bridgeport, Port Wentworth, Columbus), school districts (Fort Bend ISD, Fulton County Schools, Garland ISD), a state university system (UT Tyler, South Georgia State College), and a state health agency (Texas HHS). Geographic activity clusters in Texas, Florida, Arizona, and Georgia, with scattered opportunities in Connecticut, Illinois, and California. Representative recent solicitations include the City of San Antonio's Main Plaza Renovations (RFP, proposals due December 1, 2026), which encompasses site work including plumbing and restroom renovations as one of multiple trades; Seminole County Board of County Commissioners' home reconstruction projects under multiple IFBs (proposals due between July and September 2026) requiring complete plumbing system installation; and Fort Bend Independent School District's RFP for plumbing parts, materials, maintenance, and repair services (proposals due October 21, 2026) establishing an as-needed supply and service vehicle across the district. The code shows minimal relevance to current procurement activity; state and local buyers are not purchasing faucet handles as a standalone line item under this taxonomy.
