UNSPSC 47101508: Desalination equipment

UNSPSC 47101508 Desalination equipment (Commodity) captures water treatment chemicals, specialized cooling and chilled-water loop treatment services, and equipment replacement and monitoring systems that state and local water utilities and facilities managers actually procure to treat potable water, reclaimed water, wastewater, and facility cooling systems. The code's recent activity reflects municipal and county water resource departments, school districts, and convention centers buying chemical treatment programs (powdered activated carbon, liquid aluminum sulfate, sodium chlorite, chlorine, sodium bisulfite, soda ash, ferric chloride, caustic soda), specialized cooling-tower and chilled-water loop treatment services with data-driven monitoring and corrosion control, and replacement components such as particle counters, lineshaft pump bowl assemblies, and dual-shaft drive units for softener systems. Issuing bodies range from state and county water resource departments and municipal utilities to school districts and special-purpose facilities; the City of LaGrange, Georgia; City of Cumming, Georgia; City of Tucson, Arizona; School Board of Seminole County, Florida; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Georgia; Hillsborough County Water Resources Department, Florida; City of Holly Hill, Florida; and the Tampa Convention Center have all posted opportunities under this code in the past four months.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Florida, with secondary presence in Arizona. Recent representative opportunities include the City of LaGrange soliciting sealed bids (IFB) for water and wastewater treatment chemicals—128,000 lbs. of powdered activated carbon, 254 dry tons of liquid aluminum sulfate, 135 wet tons of liquid sodium chlorite, and other bulk chemicals for the twelve-month period July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, due June 8, 2026; the School Board of Seminole County, Florida issuing an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for chilled water loop treatment services across 50 school locations (37 elementary, 12 middle, 9 high schools, and supporting facilities) with a mandatory pre-bid meeting on March 17, 2026 and bid submission by March 31, 2026; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners soliciting sealed bids for replacement of 13 Chemtrac PC3400 particle counters at the Lanier and Shoal Creek Filter Plants with a mandatory pre-bid conference on April 16, 2026 and bid opening May 8, 2026; and the City of Tucson issuing an annual requirements contract for lineshaft pump bowl assemblies (8-inch to 14-inch, 300 to 2,500 gallons per minute) with evaluation combining delivered price and calculated 15,000-hour operating cost and three-vendor awards per item.
