This is used for cleaning the eyes when acids, or other chemicals, go in or near the eyes.

UNSPSC 46181810 Eyewashers or eye wash stations is a Commodity code covering the removal, installation, and replacement of eyewash stations and related water delivery safety equipment at state and local facilities. State and local governments buy under this code primarily through specialized maintenance contracts requiring licensed plumbing or general engineering contractors to remove existing stations, install compliant replacements, and perform associated site work including trenching, water line installation, mixing valves, and concrete or asphalt repair to meet California Building Code and ANSI/ISEA Z358.1 performance standards. The issuing bodies soliciting under the code include state transportation departments, emergency management divisions, and county procurement offices acting on behalf of specialized departments.

California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) Division of Procurement and Contracts posted an Invitation for Price Quote (IFPQ 07A6316) on February 9, 2026, for eyewash station removal and replacement services across nine maintenance facilities in Los Angeles County (Cerritos, Florence, Bellflower, Rosemead, East Los Angeles, Pomona, Diamond Bar, Monrovia, and Whittier), with a response deadline of February 24, 2026. The scope included removal and legal disposal of 17 existing stations and installation of 18 replacements with associated water heater and plumbing work. The solicitation was restricted exclusively to certified Small Businesses, Microbusinesses, or Disabled Veteran Business Enterprises with Department of General Services certification, with a maximum allowable bid of $461,000. Prevailing wages applied to bids exceeding $15,000, and payment bonds were required above $25,000. Recent state and local opportunities under the code are concentrated in California, with limited activity evident in other jurisdictions; the Caltrans solicitation represents the primary recent opportunity explicitly matching the code's nominal scope.
