UNSPSC 70171606: Water resource recovery services

UNSPSC 70171606 Water resource recovery services, a Commodity code, encompasses the design, construction, operation, maintenance, and monitoring of water and wastewater treatment facilities, including aeration basins, reclaimed water systems, deep injection wells, lift stations, and associated control and instrumentation systems. State and local governments soliciting under this code procure capital improvements to treatment plants, facility refurbishment, mechanical integrity testing, operator services, laboratory analysis, control system upgrades, chemical treatment, and specialized environmental compliance work at active municipal water and wastewater infrastructure.

Issuing bodies include county environmental and capital projects divisions (Hillsborough County, Clackamas County, Sarasota County), city water and wastewater departments (Orlando, Phoenix, Santa Cruz, Palm Bay, Flowery Branch), state departments of corrections (Illinois, Texas), regional water authorities (Sacramento County, Orange County Florida), and special districts (Tri-City Water Environment Services in Oregon, Fort Valley Utility Commission in Georgia). Recent opportunities span Florida, Georgia, Oregon, California, Texas, Illinois, Connecticut, and other jurisdictions. Representative solicitations include Hillsborough County Capital Projects Management's IFB for a 1500 kW diesel generator system at the Valrico Reclaimed Water Facility, due November 18, 2026, with a $4.7 million estimated value and 5% SBE participation goal; Clackamas County's BID 2026-78 for Tri-City Water Resource Recovery Facility aeration basin refurbishment, due November 10, 2026, with a $3.7 million engineer's estimate and prevailing wage and M/W/ESB Good Faith Effort requirements; Orange County Florida's sealed-bid SCADA upgrades and PLC replacements at East Water Reclamation Facility (Y26-748) with an August 31, 2026 deadline and $14.3 million estimated cost; the City of Palm Bay's ITB for pond improvements including aeration equipment and wetland construction, due October 27, 2026, funded by a $550,000 Florida DEP grant; and Sacramento County's 2026-RFB-0101 for Gibson Ranch Park water well monitoring and regulatory compliance services, due October 30, 2026, with prevailing wage and local-business preferences. The code sees steady demand across treatment operations (aeration basin repairs, operator certification services, water testing), capital projects (clearwell construction, SCADA system upgrades, generator installation), and specialized technical services (mechanical integrity testing, environmental monitoring during construction, trace organic laboratory analysis).
