UNSPSC 72101510: Plumbing system maintenance or repair

UNSPSC 72101510 Plumbing system maintenance or repair is a Commodity code that covers on-call and as-needed plumbing services, emergency repair response, fixture installation and replacement, drain cleaning, leak detection, backflow testing, and parts supply across municipal facilities, schools, utilities, parks, corrections facilities, and special-purpose districts. State and local governments solicit plumbing services through standing master service agreements, job-order contracting vehicles, and indefinite-quantity task-order contracts structured to provide flexible capacity without guaranteed minimum work volume. Recent opportunities span counties, cities, independent school districts, state corrections facilities, and specialized agencies including transit utilities and state transportation departments. Issuing bodies include Henry County and Forsyth County, Georgia; multiple Connecticut municipalities; California state departments; Maryland State Highway Administration; San Antonio and Fort Bend Independent School Districts in Texas; and Columbus Consolidated Government in Georgia. Henry County (Georgia) issued RFP #27-20 for annual plumbing services due October 21, 2026, requiring a Georgia-licensed Master Plumber, 24/7/365 availability, one-hour emergency response, and hourly labor rates with materials markup capped at 20 percent. California Department of State Hospitals issued IFB 26-20017 for on-call plumbing repairs due October 14, 2026, requiring a C-36 license, 24-hour verbal confirmation response for straight-time work, and 15-minute confirmation with two-hour on-site response for emergencies. The City of Norwich, Connecticut issued IFB 27-26 for on-call plumbing services due September 30, 2026, requiring Connecticut licensure and full task-order availability at specified rates.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, Florida, Connecticut, Maryland), California, and Texas, with secondary activity in Illinois and Arizona. Connecticut leads municipal plumbing solicitations with multiple cities (Stamford, Norwich, Windham, Waterford, Torrington) posting maintenance and repair bids in August and September 2026. California state agencies (Department of State Hospitals, Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, Department of General Services, Department of Parks and Recreation, CAL FIRE) account for significant recent volume, with prevailing-wage compliance and DVBE/small-business preferences appearing consistently. Georgia counties and cities (Henry County, Forsyth County, Columbus Consolidated Government) are regular repeat buyers of annual and on-call agreements. Fort Bend and San Antonio Independent School Districts in Texas have posted continuous open-ended RFPs for districtwide plumbing and general maintenance. Maryland State Highway Administration issued two plumbing maintenance contracts—one small-business-reserve procurement for Prince Frederick Maintenance Facility (IFB 55PLU29SBR, bids due August 26, 2026) and one unrestricted procurement for SHA headquarters complex (IFB HQPLMB29SB, bids due October 14, 2026). San Mateo County Parks Department (California) solicited on-call plumbing services due September 15, 2026, requiring CSLB licensing and 24/7 availability with four-hour non-emergency and two-hour emergency response times. Most recent solicitations specify prevailing-wage compliance where applicable, require labor rates stratified by classification (Master Plumber, Journeyman, Helper/Apprentice), cap materials and parts markup between 10 and 20 percent, demand 24/7 or extended availability with specified emergency response windows, and structure pricing on time-and-materials or hourly-rate bases rather than fixed-price. Set-asides and preferences are common: small-business reserves appear in California and Maryland; DVBE incentives in California; local-vendor preferences in Georgia, California, and Connecticut; and prevailing-wage requirements in most public works and state projects.
