UNSPSC 47101508: Desalination equipment

UNSPSC 47101508 Desalination equipment, a Commodity code, encompasses water treatment and purification equipment procurement by state and local water utilities, though recent solicitation activity under this code reflects a broader spectrum of water infrastructure maintenance and treatment services than the code title alone suggests. State and local governments buying under this code are primarily purchasing replacement components for water treatment systems (such as drive shafts and mechanical equipment for softener units), water treatment chemicals for filter plants and wastewater facilities, comprehensive water treatment programs for cooling and chilled-water systems, and construction of potable water storage and distribution infrastructure. Issuing bodies include city water utilities, municipal water treatment departments, convention centers, and county-level water authorities.

Recent activity concentrates in the southeastern United States, particularly Florida and Georgia. Representative opportunities include the City of Holly Hill, Florida's sole-source procurement (Solicitation SS202001) for a WesTech DS43 Dual Shaft Drive replacement and installation services valued at $113,067.00 for softener #2 at its Water Treatment Plant, with a proposal date of September 1, 2020; the Tampa Convention Center's bid solicitation (Solicitation 26P00432, posted August 3, 2026) for comprehensive water treatment services covering central chilled water and cooling tower systems with an SBE participation component; the City of LaGrange, Georgia's sealed-bid procurement (Solicitation PE74150NONST2026000000025, due June 8, 2026) for water and wastewater treatment chemicals including powdered activated carbon, liquid aluminum sulfate, sodium chlorite, chlorine, and other treatment agents for fiscal year 2026–2027; and the City of Cumming, Georgia's RFP (Solicitation PE66895NONST2026000000048, due June 26, 2026) for the PWPF Phase 2 Clearwell Improvements project involving construction of a new six-million-gallon clearwell, electrical building, yard piping, and access road with a mandatory pre-proposal conference on May 12, 2026.
