UNSPSC 72121506: Power plant construction service

The building of power plants owned by others

UNSPSC 72121506 Power plant construction service is a Commodity code. State and local governments buy under it primarily irrigation and water-facility infrastructure work — not central-generation power plants as the code name suggests. Recent solicitations show reclaimed-water pump stations, diesel-generator installations for wastewater facilities, and related mechanical and electrical infrastructure serving municipal utility systems. The issuing bodies include Florida cities and counties (DeBary, Hillsborough County, Apopka, and the Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County), California counties (Santa Clara), and Arizona counties (Pinal). Geographic activity concentrates in Florida and California, with sparse recent activity elsewhere. Santa Clara County appears as a repeat buyer across multiple prequalification rounds and design-build projects focused on seismic compliance upgrades at medical centers and regional facilities.

Recent representative opportunities include Hillsborough County Capital Projects Management's IFB for a 1500 kW/1875 kVA diesel-generator system at the Valrico Reclaimed Water Facility with a 5% SBE subcontractor participation goal and estimated contract value of $4,728,600 (bids due November 18, 2026); the City of Apopka's construction of the Golden Gem Reclaimed Water Storage and Pumping Station, a cast-in-place concrete wet-well facility with vertical turbine pumps and SCADA controls (bids due June 30, 2026); and the Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County's RFEI for demolition, design, build, operate-and-maintain services for a new mass-burn waste-to-energy facility processing up to 2,550 tons per day with a lump-sum design-build structure and 20+ year operations term (submissions due November 18, 2026). Santa Clara County's prequalification RFSQs for seismic-compliance projects at multiple County healthcare facilities (O'Connor Hospital, Saint Louise Regional Hospital, and Regional Medical Center) gate entry-only prequalified design-build or construction entities for subsequent solicitation phases. The code shows consistent activity in water, wastewater, and facility-resilience infrastructure rather than central power generation.
