UNSPSC 72151100: Plumbing construction services

The building of plumbing systems owned by others

UNSPSC 72151100 Plumbing construction services is a Class code covering installation, repair, replacement, and maintenance of potable water systems, sanitary and storm sewers, and related piping infrastructure at state and local facilities. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code range widely across state departments, community colleges, county governments, cities, municipalities, school districts, and transit authorities, with repeat activity from Washington state colleges, Texas military and health-human-services facilities, and Florida county governments pursuing both emergency repairs and planned infrastructure upgrades.

Recent opportunities span on-call plumbing maintenance contracts, discrete repairs at jails and state facilities, water line and sewer line replacements at campuses and parks, restroom renovations at public buildings and schools, and integrated mechanical work within larger facility renovation projects. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Chelsea, Massachusetts issuing IFB 2027-13 for on-call plumbing services (due July 23, 2026); the Orange County Transportation Authority seeking plumbing repair and maintenance services across multiple transit facilities under IFB 250409 with an estimated contract value of $200,000 over two years (due July 27, 2026); the City of Huntsville, Texas requesting city-wide plumbing maintenance and repair services across municipal buildings (due July 2, 2026); San Jacinto Community College District soliciting Building N2 roof drain repairs with estimated value $440,000 (due July 21, 2026); and the Texas Military Department seeking plumbing and related repairs at Camp Mabry Building 82 restrooms with mandatory VetHUB subcontracting participation (due August 12, 2026). Activity concentrates in Texas, Florida, Washington, Connecticut, and California, with additional opportunities in Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Arizona, and Massachusetts. Prevailing wage requirements, DBE participation goals, and mandatory site visits appear frequently; many solicitations require state licensing (Texas Master Plumber license, California C-36 Plumbing Contractor License) and relevant experience thresholds (typically three to five years). Contract values range from under $50,000 for discrete repairs to $440,000 for larger infrastructure projects, with multi-year terms and optional renewal periods common in on-call and maintenance arrangements.
