UNSPSC 72121504: Waste disposal plant construction service

The building of waste disposal plants owned by others

UNSPSC 72121504 Waste disposal plant construction service is a Commodity code covering the design, construction, and commissioning of water and wastewater treatment infrastructure, lift stations, pump stations, storage tanks, and ancillary systems for municipal water authorities, county and city utilities, and water and sewer authorities. Recent opportunities reflect a heavy emphasis on water treatment plant upgrades, force main and water main installation, pump station rehabilitation, and storage tank restoration rather than traditional waste disposal facility work. State and local issuing bodies span county water authorities (Cobb County Water System, Cherokee County Water & Sewerage Authority, Dorchester County Water & Sewer Department), city utilities (Brownsville, Waco, Huntsville, Sandersville, Elberton, Calhoun, Greenville), special-purpose water districts (Henry County Water Authority, Douglasville-Douglas County Water and Sewer Authority), and regional authorities (Beaufort County, Orange County). Georgia leads in recent activity, with multiple opportunities from Fayette County, Henry County, Cobb County, and smaller municipal utilities. Texas and South Carolina also show consistent procurement activity. Florida counties including Collier, Orange, and Sarasota are active, and Maryland's Environmental Service System issued two competitive bids for veteran-facility and municipal water infrastructure upgrades.

Representative recent opportunities illustrate the code's scope: the City of Waco (Texas) issued RFB 2026-023 for the Speegleville Lift Station Improvements on August 12, 2026, a $1.5 million project requiring design and installation of a new lift station with piping, electrical controls, and generator relocation, with a mandatory 40% self-performance requirement and 300-day completion window. Fayette County, Georgia issued ITB 26150-B for Crosstown Water Treatment Plant chemical system upgrades due August 12, 2026, scoping $3.29 million in construction of sodium hypochlorite and fluoride feed systems, bulk tanks, day tanks, pumps, water softening, and HVAC modifications at an operating facility with weekend shutdown restrictions and substantial completion due in 335 days. Collier County, Florida issued IFB 26-8683 for SCRWTP Lime Softening Improvements - Blend Tank with an anticipated budget of $3.29 million and bids due July 1, 2026, requiring reinforced concrete tank construction, ductile iron piping, chemical injection systems, and operation during facility closure windows limited to 6:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. The City of Huntsville, Texas issued Bid 26-28 for restoration and recoating of a half-million-gallon potable water storage tank due July 14, 2026, with mandatory interior/exterior blast cleaning, three-coat epoxy systems, and Tnemec-brand coating products specified. Multiple opportunities from water and sewer authorities demand Georgia Utility Contractor licensure, federal prevailing-wage compliance (Davis-Bacon), BABA materials sourcing, performance and payment bonds at 100% contract value, and liquidated damages $250–$2,000 per day for delay.
