UNSPSC 40141739: Drain covers

UNSPSC 40141739 Drain covers is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under this tag by state and local governments. Recent opportunities tagged with this code center on drainage system construction, maintenance, and wastewater services rather than drain covers as discrete products. The City of Tupelo, Mississippi solicited sealed bids in October 2026 for industrial road drainage improvements including pipe installation and grading; the County of San Mateo sought proposals for combined sewer maintenance, repair, and grease trap services across multiple county facilities under a five-year agreement with an aggregate obligation not to exceed $500,000; and the City of Albuquerque issued an RFB in May 2026 for grease trap cleaning and pumping services across 32 city and airport locations, with a three-year contract term and optional one-year renewal. Other recent postings from Harris County and the City of Dallas sought grease trap maintenance and septic tank cleaning on an ID/IQ basis. Clayton County Water Authority and the City of St. Marys, Georgia, posted solicitations for restroom and facility renovations that encompassed drainage and plumbing system work as part of broader construction scope. Issuing bodies include cities, counties, regional water authorities, and special-purpose districts, with repeat activity from Clay County, Florida, which solicited drainage improvements at two separate parks in April and May 2026.

The code sees activity concentrated in the South and Southwest, with recent opportunities from Mississippi, Texas, Georgia, Florida, California, New Mexico, and Washington. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Tupelo's October 2026 IFB for industrial road drainage improvements with bids due October 16, 2026; San Mateo County's May 2026 RFP for sewer maintenance and repair services with a proposal deadline of May 20, 2026, and anticipated award by June 23, 2026; and the City of Albuquerque's May 2026 RFB for grease trap cleaning across 32 locations with a proposal deadline of June 22, 2026. The mismatch between the nominal code (drain covers as products) and the actual solicited work (drainage system design, construction, and maintenance services) suggests that the code is being misapplied or that procurement offices are tagging broader drainage infrastructure activity under this Commodity designation.
