UNSPSC 47101518: Water conditioners

UNSPSC 47101518 Water conditioners (Commodity) encompasses equipment, materials, and services for removing hardness, iron, manganese, and other contaminants from potable and reclaimed water supplies. State and local governments procure water softeners for facility operations, replacement filter media and treatment-system components for municipal water treatment plants, engineering design and construction services for new treatment infrastructure, and ongoing maintenance contracts for specialized deionization systems. Recent solicitations show issuing bodies spanning municipal water departments, county utilities, school districts operating food-service operations, sheriff's offices (for bottled water supply), and special-purpose districts managing regional water treatment facilities.

Municipal water authorities dominate recent activity, with the Town of Sterling, Connecticut issuing two RFQs (Solicitation 38133 due August 28, 2026, and Solicitation 38843 due September 18, 2026) for engineering, construction, and construction-oversight services on oxidation and filtration treatment systems to remove iron and manganese from groundwater—both funded through Connecticut Drinking Water programs.

Single-source procurements include Hillsborough County's $76,530 two-year deionized water maintenance contract and the City of Plant City's sole-source purchase of Parkson Dynasand Filter Airlift Material. The Broward Sheriff's Office has issued multiple ITBs for bottled-water delivery services with CBE and SBE price preferences.
