UNSPSC 49241705: Automatic pool cleaner

UNSPSC 49241705 Automatic pool cleaner, a Commodity code, does not map directly to the work state and local governments are currently soliciting under this designation. Recent opportunities tagged with this code involve pool and splash pad maintenance, water treatment, and chemical supply — functions that fall outside the automatic pool cleaner equipment category. The City of DeBary, Florida's ITB for splash pad water maintenance requires daily certified technician service and chemical management of an interactive water feature with specific monitoring and filtration equipment; this is contracted labor and integrated maintenance, not an automatic cleaner device. Subsequent opportunities in the dataset involve bulk chemical procurement (sodium hypochlorite and specialty pool chemicals), water treatment reagents, and related maintenance supplies across multiple Florida school districts, California municipalities, Texas cities, Georgia counties, and Oregon water authorities. The scope of recent solicitations emphasizes chemical supply, technician-performed maintenance, and treatment-system management rather than autonomous or mechanical pool cleaning equipment.

Recent activity spans Florida (DeBary, Pinellas County, Marion County school districts), Michigan (Detroit), California (Palo Alto, Austin), Texas (Austin, Dallas), Arizona (Tucson), Georgia (Gwinnett County, Griffin), Connecticut (Meriden), Missouri (Parkway School District), and Oregon (Clean Water Services). Representative recent solicitations include the City of Detroit RFQ 550972 (sodium hypochlorite 12.5% solution, due October 27, 2026), Pinellas County School Board RFQ 25AM018 (pool chemicals including calcium hypochlorite, cyanuric acid, and sodium bicarbonate, bid deadline February 11, 2026), and Parkway School District Bid 2715 (blanket pool chemicals and equipment repair, due August 7, 2026, approximately $35,000 estimated annual spend). The code shows persistent activity in municipal and school-district pool chemical supply and maintenance contracting, but the UNSPSC designation itself appears misaligned with the work actually being purchased.
