UNSPSC 72151100: Plumbing construction services

The building of plumbing systems owned by others

UNSPSC 72151100 Plumbing construction services, a Class code, encompasses the full range of water supply, drainage, sanitary, and specialized piping system installation and renovation work that state and local governments procure for buildings, facilities, and infrastructure. Recent solicitations show municipalities and special-purpose districts sourcing plumbing work in three dominant modes: standalone mechanical system replacement and repair (furnace, boiler, water heater, and grinder pump installation); facility renovation and remodeling projects where plumbing is one trade among many (restroom replacements, police locker room renovations, cafeteria and office additions); and utility infrastructure work such as force-main connections, backflow prevention device certification, and fire hydrant servicing. The issuing-body mix reflects typical state and local procurement breadth: municipal departments (cities of Meriden, Waterford, DeBary, San Antonio, Ocala, Winter Park, Albany, and Lubbock), county governments (Henry County, Georgia; Orange County Transportation Authority), state agencies (Florida Department of Environmental Protection, Washington Department of Ecology, Texas A&M University System, Caltrans), school districts (Kalamazoo Public Schools, San Antonio Independent School District, Gwinnett County Board of Education), healthcare systems (Santa Clara Valley Medical Center, Chester Mental Health Center), and community colleges (South Seattle College, Everett Community College, Big Bend Community College).

Geographic concentration of recent activity clusters in Florida (multiple restroom and park facility projects through the DEP's Bureau of Design and Construction; municipal work in DeBary, Ocala, Winter Park, and Stamford), Georgia (Henry County plumbing services contract, City of Albany valve exercising, City of Port Wentworth park renovation, City of South Fulton on-call construction), California (Caltrans shop plumbing in Yuba County, Santa Clara Valley Medical Center renovation phases, Santa Clara County healthcare facility seismic and tank work), Texas (San Antonio plaza and school district work, Texas A&M demolition and site restoration), and Washington and Connecticut (community college remodels, municipal renovations). Representative current solicitations include the City of San Antonio's Main Plaza Renovations (RFP 2026118, due December 1, 2026), encompassing plumbing systems as part of comprehensive site work; Henry County Georgia's annual Plumbing Services contract (RFP #27-20, due October 21, 2026) for 24/7 emergency and routine maintenance across county facilities; the Orange County Transportation Authority's Backflow Prevention Devices and Fire Hydrant Services (IFB 260553, due October 8, 2026, $175,230 over three years, requiring C-36 and C-16 California contractor licenses and DBE participation); and the Town of Waterford Connecticut Police Department Locker Room Renovations (IFB 26011, due October 15, 2026) involving selective demolition, fixture replacement, and MEP coordination under Connecticut prevailing wage requirements. Activity remains steady with typical procurement lead times of three to eight weeks from posting to bid due date and recurring exposure in renovation, maintenance, and emergency-response work across municipalities and public agencies nationwide.
