UNSPSC 70171708: Irrigation advisory services

UNSPSC 70171708 Irrigation advisory services (Commodity) encompasses the design, evaluation, system optimization, and technical support for irrigation systems at municipal facilities, parks, golf courses, and institutional properties. State and local governments procure under this code when they need specialized consulting on water efficiency, system upgrades, controller replacements, or remediation of existing infrastructure—work that falls between pure installation services and ongoing maintenance contracts. Recent opportunities show municipalities and special districts soliciting landscape and irrigation system upgrades, smart-controller implementations, comprehensive evaluations of centralized control technologies, and retrofit projects at sports complexes, regional airports, golf courses, and college campuses.

Issuing bodies include city public works departments (Savannah, Phoenix, Alpharetta, Amarillo, Richardson, Pembroke Pines, St. Petersburg, Lubbock, Altamonte Springs), county governments (Athens-Clarke County, Collier County, Clackamas County, Jackson County), special districts (Georgia World Congress Center Authority, North Texas Municipal Water District, Columbus Consolidated Government), institutional buyers (Houston City College, Texas State Technical College, University of Texas at Tyler), and municipal airport authorities (Santa Fe Regional Airport). The code sees concentrated activity in Georgia and Florida, with secondary activity in Texas, Colorado, and the Pacific Northwest. Representative recent opportunities include the Athens-Clarke County irrigation valve replacement at Holland Youth Sports Complex (sealed bid, bids due November 18, 2026, estimated budget $50,000–$60,000); the Georgia World Congress Center Authority Calsense Irrigation Controller Upgrades (RFP, proposals due October 7, 2026, requiring five years' prior Calsense system experience and firm-fixed pricing for equipment, labor, and ten-year data plans at two locations); Houston City College's landscaping and irrigation maintenance across 19 campuses (RFP, proposals due October 20, 2026, estimated annual spend $1,000,000, two-year term with three one-year renewal options); and Clackamas County's Stone Creek Golf Course Irrigation Replacement (sealed bid, bids due June 2, 2026, engineer's estimate $3,000,000–$5,000,000, requiring AquaFusion HDPE fusion certifications and five prior similar projects).
