UNSPSC 47101555: Baffle wall

A structure that maintains the balance of flow speed and protects the floc generated from the cohesive area for the improvement of the adjustment of natural water volume and the sedimentation efficiency during the water purification process.

UNSPSC 47101555 Baffle wall, a Commodity code, names a structural component commonly installed in water and wastewater treatment infrastructure; state and local solicitations under this code reflect demand for concrete baffle walls, steel baffles, and associated installation labor in pump stations, treatment plants, and wet wells undergoing rehabilitation or capacity expansion. Recent opportunities show baffle-wall procurement embedded in larger treatment-facility capital projects rather than as standalone equipment buys—typically paired with grinder replacement, tank modifications, and chemical system work. Issuing bodies are chiefly county departments of water resources, municipalities with public water and wastewater systems, and regional water districts across Florida and Georgia. State and local procurement offices solicit these components through sealed IFB and construction bid processes, often as part of multi-element facility upgrades funded by state revolving funds or local capital bonds.

Representative recent activity includes Gwinnett County's Beaver Ruin Diversion Pump Station Grinders Replacement projects (BL117-26 and BL152-26), requesting sealed bids for baffle-wall elevation raises and platform modifications alongside grinder and gate replacements, with bids due September 23 and November 20, 2026 respectively; and Collier County's South County Regional Water Treatment Plant Lime Softening Improvements (Bid 26-8683R), seeking sealed bids for concrete blend-tank construction with associated piping and chemical systems, bids due September 21, 2026. The code shows active procurement in Florida (Collier, Volusia, Orange, Brevard counties) and Georgia (Gwinnett, DeKalb, Bartow counties), with scattered activity in Texas and Arizona. Most baffle-wall work ties to water-treatment and wastewater-reclamation facility modernization, requiring general contractors with experience in operating-facility rehabilitation and bonding capacity for performance and payment. Liquidated damages are common; pre-bid meetings and site visits are standard, and lead times for design and permitting extend project timelines substantially.
