UNSPSC 40142500: Traps and strainers

UNSPSC 40142500 Traps and strainers (Class) encompasses grease trap pumping, cleaning, and maintenance services, along with septic tank and storm vault services that state and local jurisdictions procure to manage wastewater infrastructure at facilities ranging from municipal offices and parks to correctional institutions and hospitals. The code captures both routine preventive maintenance and emergency response work, with pricing typically structured around per-service, per-gallon, or hourly labor rates. Issuing bodies span city public works departments, county facilities management, state corrections and transportation agencies, water authorities, and healthcare systems; recent solicitations show repeat activity from Texas jurisdictions (Dallas, Harris County, Harris Health) and multi-jurisdictional cooperative purchasing platforms seeking to establish framework agreements across dozens of participating entities.
