UNSPSC 71101705: Pumping or draining

UNSPSC 71101705 Pumping or draining, a Commodity code, encompasses wastewater force main replacement, septic drainfield repair, and irrigation system installation and upgrade work that state and local governments solicit through sealed-bid processes. The Florida Department of Environmental Protection's Bureau of Design and Construction has posted multiple infrastructure-replacement bids over the past four months covering forced sewage mains and septic system components at state parks, while local municipalities including the City of DeBary and Broward County procure water management work ranging from park irrigation retrofits to roadway stormwater infrastructure and ditch and canal improvements supporting capacity-expansion projects. Issuing bodies skew toward state environmental agencies and county transportation and public works divisions, with occasional city-level park maintenance contracts. Work scope centers on field labor, materials, and equipment for replacing or installing underground gravity and pressure piping, managing fill and excavation, and coordinating with existing utility corridors.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida. The Florida Department of Environmental Protection posted sealed-bid IFBs for force-main replacement at Curry Hammock State Park (bids due August 12, 2026) and septic drainfield repair at John D. MacArthur Beach State Park (original deadline June 9, 2026, postponed by addendum to June 23, 2026), both requiring FDEP Bureau of Design and Construction prequalification and compliance with green building standards. Broward County Highway Construction and Engineering Division solicited roadway capacity expansion and widening work including bulkhead construction and dredging on Pine Island Road (bid due June 2, 2026) and resurfacing with median, sidewalk, and signal upgrades on Royal Palm Boulevard in Coral Springs (bid due September 14, 2026), both subject to 30 percent County Business Enterprise participation goals and FDOT prequalification. The City of DeBary issued a competitive bid for Hunter irrigation system installation at Rob Sullivan Park (bid due April 10, 2015, with Engineer's estimate of $90,000), requiring compliance with city operations and 45-day completion. Prequalification, prevailing wage compliance, bonding, insurance thresholds, and addenda-management processes are consistent across issuers; DBE and CBE participation goals apply to federal-aid and surtax-funded work respectively.
