UNSPSC 72141212: Pond construction service

The building of ponds owned by others

UNSPSC 72141212 Pond construction service is a Commodity code covering site-specific water-feature rehabilitation and restoration work that state and local governments buy primarily through water utilities, environmental agencies, and special districts. Recent solicitations show the code is being applied to liner replacement at water treatment facilities, mechanical muck management in lakes, rapid infiltration basin rehabilitation, and detention pond reconstruction—work that involves specialized earthwork, geotextile and liner installation, dredging operations, and associated site grading. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission appears as a repeat buyer, having posted multiple opportunities this year for aquatic habitat and water infrastructure work. The issuing bodies include state environmental agencies, city water departments, county water authorities, and special-purpose districts such as the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District, reflecting the distributed nature of water asset ownership across jurisdictions.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and the Northeast. The City of Meriden, Connecticut issued an IFB on September 29, 2026 for rehabilitation of the Merimere Water Filtration Plant liner and underdrain systems—a $1.2 million-gallon-per-day facility requiring removal of existing geomembrane, underdrain repair, and compaction and formation of gravel base, with bids due October 7, 2026 and Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission posted an ITB on September 25, 2026 for mechanical muck management at Lake Miccosukee across 1,168.60 acres in Leon and Jefferson County, Florida, with an estimated budget of $355,000, bids due October 27, 2026, and a mandatory pre-bid conference and site visit on October 8, 2026. The Central Florida Tourism Oversight District solicited bids on September 4, 2026 for three-year phased rehabilitation of Rapid Infiltration Basins involving removal of 45 mil Hypalon liners and installation of 60 mil HDPE liners, with bids due October 1, 2026. Additional construction activity in the code includes site grading, detention pond reconstruction as part of park development (City of Burleson Legacy Park Phase 1, $9.3 million), and utility infrastructure work. A state-level RFP from Oregon posted in June 2026 sought Construction Manager at Risk services for the Geren Island Flow Maintenance Project, suggesting that larger water-infrastructure maintenance and oversight work also falls within this code's scope.
