UNSPSC 47101525: Dewatering equipment

UNSPSC 47101525 Dewatering equipment, a Commodity code, encompasses proprietary replacement parts, chemical feed systems, and specialized maintenance services for water treatment and wastewater dewatering infrastructure. State and local governments buy under this code primarily sole-source replacement components for existing installed equipment — drive shafts, pumps, diffuser systems, lime slaking equipment, grinders, and separation technology — where original equipment manufacturers hold exclusive distribution rights or where proprietary design creates technical dependency that eliminates competitive alternatives. The issuing-body mix is dominated by water utilities and wastewater authorities: the City of Holly Hill, Florida posts multiple sole-source notices; Collier County, Gwinnett County, the City of Phoenix, and the City of Atlanta appear as repeat buyers; and smaller municipal water systems and county water resources departments solicit periodically across Florida, Georgia, Texas, and Arizona. Recent solicitations reflect a pattern of equipment maintenance and upgrade work at operating facilities where downtime must be minimized and compatibility with existing systems is non-negotiable.

Representative recent opportunities include the City of Holly Hill's sole-source procurement (SS202001) for a WesTech DS43 Dual Shaft Drive replacement and turnkey installation at its Water Treatment Plant, posted October 19, 2026, with an equipment and installation value of $113,067.00; Collier County's notice of intent to sole source (26-8683R) for lime softening improvements and a blend tank construction at the South County Regional Water Treatment Plant, with bids due September 21, 2026 and an anticipated project budget of $4.27 million; Gwinnett County's sealed bid for bypass pumping services (BL145-26), due October 23, 2026, supporting maintenance and emergency response across water and wastewater infrastructure; and the City of Phoenix's five-year pressure and temperature instrumentation contract (IFB 26-0398), commencing October 15, 2026, covering transmitters, gauges, and sensor equipment for municipal water and wastewater treatment facilities. Geographic concentration is highest in Florida, Georgia, and Texas, with secondary activity in Arizona and Connecticut. Most recent activity clusters in September through October 2026 and August 2026, with sole-source determinations and competitive sealed bids representing the primary notice types.
