UNSPSC 47101533: Lift stations

UNSPSC 47101533 Lift stations, a Commodity code, describes pumping infrastructure that state and local governments procure for wastewater collection systems—specifically the equipment, installation, rehabilitation, and related services required to move effluent from lower elevations to treatment plants or distribution points. Recent solicitations show municipalities and county utilities buying complete lift station replacements with dual or triplex submersible pump systems, wet well construction or rehabilitation, force main piping, electrical and SCADA controls, and auxiliary equipment including generators and bypass systems. The code also covers maintenance and repair of existing stations.

State and local buyers across this code include county water authorities and utility departments, municipal wastewater systems, and special-purpose water and sewer districts. Chatham County, Georgia appears frequently in recent opportunities, alongside municipalities in Texas (Waco, San Marcos, Brownsville), Florida (Daytona Beach, Covington, Plant City, Bradenton, Orlando), Georgia (Athens-Clarke County, Forsyth County, Lula, Albany, Covington, Jackson County Water and Sewerage Authority), Illinois (Illinois Secretary of State, City of St. Cloud), and Mississippi (Town of Tunica, Town of Pelahatchie). Issuing bodies range from county commissioners to city utility departments to state agencies. Solicitations posted in the past three months span IFBs, ITBs, and RFPs covering rehabilitation and new-construction work. Representative opportunities include Chatham County's Salcedo Lift Station Rehabilitation (due August 11, 2026, IFB/RFP), the Illinois Secretary of State's Index Building Lift Station replacement at 111 E. Monroe Street, Springfield (due August 4, 2026, IFB with mandatory pre-bid July 21), the City of Waco's Speegleville Road Lift Station Improvements requiring 40 percent self-performance by the general contractor with a $1.5 million engineering estimate (due August 12, 2026, with non-mandatory pre-bid meetings July 21 and site visit July 23), and the City of Orlando's five-station improvement project valued at approximately $6.5 million (due April 30, 2026, IFB). Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast and South-Central regions, with particular volume in Georgia, Florida, and Texas; secondary activity appears in Illinois, Mississippi, California, and other states. Liquidated damages, bonding requirements, prevailing wage compliance, E-Verify mandates, and M/WBE good faith efforts are standard across these procurements.
