UNSPSC 47101518: Water conditioners

UNSPSC 47101518 Water conditioners is a Commodity code that covers removal and replacement of large-scale water softener systems, reverse osmosis and deionized water systems, point-of-use treatment installation and maintenance, and filtration system rehabilitation at municipal and institutional facilities. State and local governments soliciting under this code include counties (Salt Lake County, Collier County, Hillsborough County), cities (Meriden), state health authorities (Oregon Health Authority), and public universities (Texas Tech University, Texas State University). Recent opportunities reflect institutional and municipal demand for both capital equipment replacement and ongoing maintenance and service contracts. Salt Lake County is procuring removal and replacement of a large water softener supplying domestic water to the Mountain America Exposition Center, with bids due August 5, 2026, requiring five years of prior experience and three current customer references. Collier County is bidding a $4 million reverse osmosis treatment train rehabilitation at its North County Regional Water Treatment Plant, with sealed bids due April 24, 2026, and mandatory qualifications including OEM status and experience with municipal rehabilitation projects. Texas Tech University is seeking proposals for water conditioning parts and services—including reverse osmosis systems, water softening systems, dispensers, replacement parts, and installation and maintenance services—across eleven campus locations under a four-year term with potential four one-year renewals, with HUB subcontracting goals of 16.86% for building construction and 15.10% for other services.

Geographic activity is concentrated in the Southwest and West. Recent solicitations span Utah (Salt Lake County), Florida (Collier County, Hillsborough County), Connecticut (Meriden), Oregon (Oregon Health Authority), and Texas (Texas Tech University, Texas State University). The Oregon Health Authority issued an RFP in February 2026 for reverse osmosis point-of-use water treatment installation and maintenance in the Lower Umatilla Basin, with an Intent to Award Notice selecting Hellman LLC as apparent successful proposer; the contract offered up to $500,000 compensation during the initial 1.25-year term. The City of Meriden solicited bids in March 2026 for pool filtration system refurbishment including pressure sand filters and associated piping, with a sample contract value of $2,243,250 and local preference under City Code Section 3-14. Hillsborough County announced a two-year sole-source maintenance contract estimated at $76,530 with Thomas Water Purification LLC for deionized water systems supporting Type I water production for compliance testing, with a challenge deadline of July 14, 2026. A Sourcewell cooperative purchasing RFP for law enforcement equipment posted in May 2026 is unrelated to water conditioning scope and does not reflect genuine activity under this code.
