UNSPSC 47101529: Incinerators

UNSPSC 47101529 Incinerators is a Commodity code that covers removal, replacement, and maintenance of sludge digestion and treatment equipment at wastewater and water treatment facilities. State and local procurement activity under this code reflects the actual buying of digester sludge removal services, drive shaft replacements for water softening equipment, and proprietary parts and maintenance for treatment-plant process equipment — work driven by aging infrastructure at municipal water and wastewater systems. Issuing bodies include county utility authorities, municipal water departments, and county water resources departments. The mix skews toward mid-sized and large jurisdictions with dedicated water or wastewater treatment infrastructure requiring specialized equipment replacement and preventive maintenance contracts.

Recent opportunities span Florida and Mississippi. Harrison County Utility Authority (Mississippi) posted an IFB in May 2026 for confined-space removal and disposal of anaerobic sludge from a 54-foot-diameter digester at its South Gulfport Wastewater Treatment Facility, with a pre-bid meeting and site visit on May 22, 2026 and sealed-bid due date of June 1, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. The City of Holly Hill, Florida conducted a sole-source procurement in 2020 for a WesTech DS43 Dual Shaft Drive replacement for softener #2 at its Water Treatment Plant, valued at $113,067.00. Most recently, Hillsborough County, Florida's Water Resources Department posted a sole-source procurement on January 30, 2026 for proprietary equipment, parts, and maintenance services across the County's water, reclaimed, and wastewater treatment facilities through DXP Enterprises, Inc., a five-year contract estimated at $6,600,000.00 with a February 6, 2026 close date. These solicitations indicate active maintenance and upgrade cycles at treatment plants, with a mix of competitive removal services and sole-source proprietary equipment contracts.
