UNSPSC 72103305: Drain laying service

UNSPSC 72103305 Drain laying service is a Commodity code that encompasses gravity sewer main installation, force main construction, and stormwater drain system placement activities—the core work state and local governments solicit under this code. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers contracting for gravity and force main installation to support new developments and utility expansions, as well as replacement and rehabilitation of existing drainage infrastructure through both traditional open-cut methods and trenchless technologies such as cured-in-place pipe lining.

Issuing bodies across the code span city and county utilities departments, special-purpose water and sewer authorities, and regional transit commissions. The City of DeBary, Florida appears as a repeat buyer, posting multiple stormwater and drainage improvement projects over a multi-year period. Geographic activity concentrates in Florida (particularly Volusia and Hillsborough Counties and municipalities across the state), with recent solicitations also from Georgia (Columbus, Millen, LaGrange), Connecticut (Waterford, South Windsor, Berlin), South Carolina (Dorchester County), and Texas (San Antonio, Bastrop County). Representative recent opportunities include the City of DeBary's Lakeside Gravity Outfall System - Phase II (IFB Bid No. 01-14, response due September 8, 2014, estimated cost $646,314.00) involving installation of gravity outfall pipes, force mains, sluice gates, and associated valve and access infrastructure; Hillsborough County's Low Pressure Sewer System Installations and Repairs (IFB-26-00346, due November 17, 2026, estimated value $4.41 million) for tank installations, electrical connections, and force-main tie-ins on a term-contract basis; and Ware County, Georgia's street and drainage improvements (bid due November 23, 2026) combining gravity and force main placement with street reconstruction. Set-asides and preference programs are common, with 5–10% Small Business Enterprise participation goals and 10% Disadvantaged, Small, and Women-Owned Business Enterprises Program targets appearing across recent solicitations. Activity is steady across municipal and county-scale projects with typical contract values ranging from $150,000 to $4.5 million, and contract terms spanning 90–300 days for single projects or multi-year term contracts for ongoing maintenance and repair services.
