UNSPSC 70171505: River basin development

UNSPSC 70171505 River basin development, a Commodity code, encompasses state and local procurement of specialized infrastructure and operational services for water storage, treatment, monitoring, and reclamation facilities. Based on recent solicitations, the work covers pond and basin improvements, water treatment plant facility enhancements, wastewater reclamation system upgrades, exploratory well drilling, and associated mechanical integrity testing and environmental monitoring. The buying universe spans county water authorities, municipal water departments, special districts, and correctional facilities operating water or wastewater infrastructure. Recent solicitations come from Hillsborough County Capital Projects Management (Valrico Reclaimed Water Facility diesel generator), Clackamas County Water Environment Services (Tri-City Water Resource Recovery Facility aeration basin refurbishment), the City of Palm Bay (pond improvements funded by state environmental grant), and various municipal water systems requiring ongoing operational compliance testing and chemical dosing services. The issuing bodies mix county utilities departments, city water services divisions, regional treatment authorities, and state-level facilities managing distributed water infrastructure.

Geographic concentration is concentrated in Florida and the Pacific Northwest, with Florida dominating recent activity through Hillsborough County, Orange County, Sarasota County, and Palm Bay municipal procurements ranging from $90,000 irrigation retrofits to $14.3 million SCADA and control system upgrades. Oregon (Clackamas County) and California (Santa Cruz Water Department) contribute significant activity in facility rehabilitation and design services. Texas and Illinois show secondary activity through state-level water testing and wastewater operations contracts. Representative recent opportunities include Hillsborough County's $4.7 million IFB for a 1500 kW diesel generator at Valrico Reclaimed Water Facility (due November 18, 2026, with 5% SBE participation goal), Clackamas County's $3.7 million sealed-bid procurement for Tri-City Water Resource Recovery Facility aeration basin refurbishment (due November 10, 2026, Oregon prevailing wage with M/W/ESB good-faith effort requirements), Orange County Florida's $14.3 million sealed-bid SCADA upgrade project at East Water Reclamation Facility (originally due August 31, 2026, mandatory electronic submission via OpenGov platform), and the City of Palm Bay's re-bid pond improvements at Cadillac Drive and RJ Conlan funded through a $550,000 Florida DEP grant (due October 27, 2026, ITB format). Water testing and compliance monitoring represent recurring commodity activity, with Illinois Department of Corrections and state facilities in multiple states soliciting annual or multi-year contracts for operator certification, bacteriological sampling, regulatory reporting, and chemical treatment services.
