UNSPSC 40142513: P trap

UNSPSC 40142513 P trap (Commodity) covers plumbing drainage and waste management components and services state and local governments procure for facilities maintenance, construction projects, and ongoing operational needs. The code appears in solicitations for both product supply and integrated service contracts spanning drainage system installation, grease trap cleaning and maintenance, septic tank servicing, and related plumbing fixture work. Issuing bodies include cities (Tupelo, Mississippi; Dallas, Texas; Albuquerque, New Mexico; St. Marys, Georgia), counties (San Mateo, California; Harris, Texas; Clay, Florida), water authorities (Clayton County Water Authority, Georgia), and state cooperative purchasing vehicles. Recent opportunities cluster around two main activity streams: capital drainage and site improvement projects (park and industrial-area stormwater construction) and recurring maintenance and disposal services (grease trap cleaning, septic tank pumping, and wastewater system upkeep). The maintenance stream shows stronger repeat-buyer patterns, with Dallas, Albuquerque, and San Mateo County all issuing solicitations for ongoing grease trap and septic services under indefinite-delivery or multi-year service agreements.

Activity concentrates in Texas, California, Georgia, Florida, and New Mexico based on recent postings. Representative opportunities include the City of Dallas's 60-month ID/IQ agreement for sand trap, grease trap, septic tank, storm vault, and interceptor cleaning (RFQ posted July 2026, response August 14, 2026); the City of Albuquerque's three-year grease trap cleaning contract covering 32 city and airport locations with small-business, local-business, state-resident, and veteran preferences available (RFB posted May 2026, response June 22, 2026); San Mateo County's five-year combined sewer maintenance, repair, and grease trap services agreement with a $500,000 not-to-exceed value (RFP posted May 2026, response May 20, 2026); and Clay County's drainage improvement projects at two parks (IFBs posted April 2026, responses April 27 and May 7, 2026). Grease trap and septic maintenance contracts typically require California C-36 or C-42 licenses (or equivalent state permits), 24-hour emergency response capability, and disposal permits; some, like Albuquerque's, apply local and small-business preferences. Capital drainage work involves competitive sealed bidding on stormwater system design-build, pipe installation, and site grading with mandatory pre-bid meetings and performance bonds contingent on contract value thresholds.
