UNSPSC 47101559: Scum removal equipment

A type of device that prevents the mixture to the discharged water by removing the scum on the water surface arising from settling pond, digester or others.

UNSPSC 47101559 Scum removal equipment is a Commodity code capturing specialized filtration and screening devices that state and local water and wastewater utilities deploy to remove suspended solids, grit, and organic matter from treatment processes. Recent solicitations show state and local governments acquiring fiberglass weir plates and scum baffles, membrane diffusers for aeration basins, grit removal and bar screen systems, and related settling and separation hardware for treatment facility operations. The issuing body mix spans municipal water districts (North Texas Municipal Water District), counties (Collier County, Gwinnett County, Paulding County), cities (Tampa, Phoenix, Sanford, Cumming, Orem, Waxahachie), and special districts (Eastern Regional Water Supply Facility in Orange County, Florida). Collier County and Gwinnett County appear multiple times in the recent opportunities block, signaling repeat procurement activity. Water and wastewater treatment facilities in Florida, Texas, and Georgia dominate the recent activity, with additional opportunities across California and broader state-level procurements.

Representative solicitations illustrate the work being bought. The North Texas Municipal Water District issued RFQ 26169B on July 16, 2026 (due August 7, 2026) for fiberglass weir plates and scum baffles. The City of Phoenix released IFB 26-0382 on June 16, 2026 (due July 2, 2026) for Sanitaire Silver Series II membrane fine bubble disc diffusers, 9-inch diameter units, to replace existing equipment across two wastewater treatment plants; the city maintains approximately 11 aeration basins with 10,000 to 12,000 diffusers per basin and seeks five-year firm pricing with 48-hour delivery and local inventory support. Paulding County Board of Commissioners solicited sealed bids twice in July 2026 (due July 31, 2026) for mechanical wastewater bar screen installation at the county jail, including the screen within an 8-foot precast concrete structure, compactor conveyor, and flow control slide gates. These opportunities reflect sustained municipal and regional water infrastructure spending focused on equipment replacement, system upgrades, and compliance with treatment standards. The code shows moderate to strong activity across mid-sized and larger jurisdictions managing complex treatment operations.
