UNSPSC 70171801: Land drainage services

UNSPSC 70171801 Land drainage services is a Commodity code. State and local governments buy subsurface and surface drainage infrastructure repair, installation, and maintenance under this code—including storm pipe replacement, drain-field repairs, septic system work, field drainage improvements, and site-level stormwater management. Recent solicitations show a mix of specialized drainage projects: Florida agencies (DEP, CFTOD, Valencia College) have issued multiple bids for drain-field repairs and stormwater infrastructure; Connecticut municipalities are replacing corrugated metal pipe with HDPE systems; and county and city parks departments across the Southeast are installing or upgrading irrigation drainage and subsurface systems as part of broader landscape and field restoration efforts. The issuing bodies span state environmental and parks agencies, counties, cities, school districts, colleges, and special-purpose districts such as tourism oversight authorities. Repeat buyers include Florida's Department of Environmental Protection (drain-field work at state parks), Pasco County and Volusia County in Florida (irrigation and drainage maintenance across multiple facilities), and multiple Connecticut towns addressing aging storm drainage networks.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida (drain-field and irrigation drainage projects), Connecticut (stormwater pipe and field drainage replacement), Texas (irrigation system work often bundled with drainage), Georgia, and the Carolinas. Representative recent opportunities include the Florida DEP's drain-field repairs at John D. MacArthur Beach State Park (ITB BDC26-25/26, bids due June 9 and June 23, 2026, with addendum extending deadline); the Town of Old Saybrook, Connecticut's Ferry Road Soccer Field Drainage project (ITB, prevailing wage, 25% SBE set-aside, June 30, 2026 deadline); the City of Meriden, Connecticut's Green Road Drainage storm pipe replacement (ITB B026-62, June 17, 2026 deadline); and Clackamas County, Oregon's Stone Creek Golf Course Irrigation Replacement involving comprehensive subsurface irrigation and drainage (ITB with June 2, 2026 deadline, engineer's estimate $3,000,000–$5,000,000). Drainage and irrigation work often carries prevailing wage requirements when state-funded and frequently includes SBE or M/W/DBE participation goals. The code sees steady mid-sized municipal and county procurement activity with project budgets typically ranging from $50,000 to $750,000, though large campus and corridor projects can exceed $1 million.
