The laying of pipe owned by others

UNSPSC 72141124 Pipe laying service is a Commodity-tier code encompassing the installation of gravity and pressure piping systems for water distribution, sanitary sewer collection, stormwater drainage, and reclaimed water transmission in state and local infrastructure projects. State and local governments soliciting under this code include municipalities (cities), counties, water authorities, utility commissions, and special districts across Florida, Georgia, Connecticut, Indiana, California, Arizona, Texas, South Carolina, and Colorado.
