UNSPSC 47101569: Wastewater plane screen

A facility that prevents the inflow or outflow of miscellaneous floating materials by installing on the entry part of the intake or grit chamber, the outflow part of the drainage pump facilities.

UNSPSC 47101569 Wastewater plane screen (Commodity) encompasses mechanical screening and debris-handling equipment for influent treatment at wastewater facilities, as evidenced by recent state and local solicitations for bar screens, grit removers, and related preliminary treatment systems serving municipal wastewater plants. State and local water and wastewater authorities—county governments, city utilities, and special-purpose water districts—procure under this code to address preliminary treatment requirements where solids removal protects downstream processes and meets regulatory compliance for operating facilities under real-time operational constraints. Recent activity reflects replacement and retrofit work at operating plants, often bundled with civil, electrical, and SCADA integration to minimize service interruption during construction.

Activity spans the Southeast and Southwest, with visible recent solicitations in Florida (Collier County, Tampa, Palm Bay), Georgia (Gwinnett County, Paulding County, Cumming), Texas (Huntsville, Waxahachie), and Maryland (Dorsey Run), alongside scattered municipal and county water and wastewater departments across multiple states. Representative current opportunities include Paulding County's mechanical wastewater bar screen installation at Paulding County Jail (ITB due July 31, 2026) covering a precast concrete structure, compactor conveyor, and flow control infrastructure; Collier County's South County Water Reclamation Facility screen replacement (sealed bid due October 17, 2025, estimated budget $3.21 million) requiring Huber Technologies Multi-Rake Bar Screens and Wash and Press units with comprehensive SCADA and electrical integration; and the Maryland Environmental Service's sewage screen replacement at Dorsey Run WWTP (sealed bid due August 6, 2026) under a 20% MBE participation requirement. Opportunities frequently carry bonding, insurance, and prevailing wage requirements; demand contractor familiarity with operating-facility constraints and SCADA integration; and often require equipment suppliers to provide installation support, operator training, and technical documentation alongside manufactured equipment.
