UNSPSC 47131815: Drain cleaner

UNSPSC 47131815 Drain cleaner is a Commodity code. State and local governments buy drain cleaning and related wastewater-line maintenance services under this code—chemical drain cleaners, vactor services (vacuum truck, jet rodding, hydro-blasting), grease trap pumping and cleaning, and emergency sewer-line rehabilitation. Recent solicitations show a mix of specialty chemical products (the City of Detroit specifying United 894 Zyme Out, a non-toxic hydrogen sulfide odor eliminator for a three-year term), scheduled grease trap maintenance across multiple municipal facilities (the City of Albuquerque seeking service at 32 city and airport locations, with contract term up to four years), and high-volume mechanical cleaning and unblocking in wastewater collection and treatment systems (the City of Phoenix advertising a five-year requirements contract for vactor services across multiple water treatment plants, wastewater treatment plants, and parks facilities). Issuing bodies include cities (Detroit, Phoenix, Albuquerque), counties (Harris County, Texas), utilities and utility commissions (Town of Waterford in Connecticut, Clackamas County in Oregon), and special-purpose districts. The City of Phoenix and the City of Detroit appear as repeat buyers under recent postings.

Geographic activity spans Arizona (Phoenix), Michigan (Detroit), Texas (Harris County), Ohio (Lubbock), Oklahoma (Oklahoma City), Connecticut (Manchester, Waterford), New Mexico (Albuquerque), and Oregon (Clackamas County).
