UNSPSC 70171700: Irrigation system maintenance and management services

UNSPSC 70171700 Irrigation system maintenance and management services, a Class code, encompasses routine preventive maintenance, emergency repairs, seasonal adjustments, system inspections, and controller programming for commercial and municipal irrigation infrastructure. State and local governments procuring under this code typically purchase as-needed and contract maintenance services for parks, golf courses, educational facilities, transit authority properties, and other public amenities, with work ranging from simple valve replacements and winterization to complex hydraulic troubleshooting and large-scale system retrofits on operating sites.

Issuing bodies span state departments of transportation, county park and facilities divisions, municipalities, independent school districts, and regional authorities across Texas, Florida, California, Georgia, Oregon, Utah, Connecticut, and other states. Recent opportunities show repeat buyers including city parks departments (Tampa, Tucson, Savannah, Groton), county facilities management (Harris County, Volusia County, Hillsborough County, Bulloch County), and university systems (Valencia College, University of Texas at Tyler, University of Georgia). The mix skews toward county and municipal park operations, with smaller shares from state agencies and higher education. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) soliciting sealed bids for as-needed maintenance at Austin State Hospital under IFB HHS0017509 with bids due August 6, 2026, requiring a Texas Landscape Irrigator License and five years of commercial irrigation experience; Hillsborough County issuing ITB-26-00127, a four-year SBE set-aside for irrigation maintenance and repair across 170+ parks estimated at $1,030,868.02, with bids due April 13, 2026; and Clackamas County, Oregon, posting SC0101000016773 for a comprehensive Stone Creek Golf Course irrigation replacement and one-year maintenance contract with bids due June 2, 2026, requiring AquaFusion HDPE certification and prior golf course irrigation experience. Activity concentrates in Texas (TxDOT districts, municipalities, HHSC), Florida (Hillsborough, Volusia, Orange County Transportation Authority), and California (Caltrans, County of Orange), with secondary clusters in the Southeast, Midwest, and Mountain West. The code shows consistent quarterly activity across maintenance-focused work and larger capital replacements bundled with service components.
