UNSPSC 72151001: Boiler maintenance service

The maintenance of boilers owned by others

UNSPSC 72151001 Boiler maintenance service is a Commodity code representing the repair, inspection, testing, and ongoing upkeep of boiler systems across state and local facilities—work that extends from routine preventative maintenance and safety inspections to emergency repairs and parts replacement. State and local governments solicit this code regularly across diverse issuing bodies: state departments of corrections, health and human services, and veterans affairs; county public works and sheriff departments; municipal utilities and housing authorities; school districts; and special-purpose districts. Scope spans equipment ranging from small building-level heating boilers to large industrial or waste-to-energy facility units, with service requirements including CSD-1 inspections, fireside and waterside cleaning, gasket and seal replacement, burner servicing, control system testing, pressure testing, and 24/7 emergency response capabilities. Contractors typically must hold active state boiler licenses (Florida C-4, Nevada C1-A, California C-4, or equivalent), demonstrate multiple years of relevant experience, provide customer references, and maintain comprehensive general liability and workers' compensation insurance; some work is prevailing-wage-covered under Davis-Bacon or state prevailing wage statutes.
