UNSPSC 72151101: Septic system construction service

The building of septic systems and tanks owned by others

UNSPSC 72151101 Septic system construction service is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure installation, repair, replacement, and abandonment of septic systems and associated wastewater infrastructure serving individual properties, small communities, state parks, and institutional facilities. Recent solicitations show a mix of complete septic system installations with wells and drain fields, conversions from septic to municipal sewer service, drain-field repairs and retrofits at state parks, and septic tank abandonment and replacement work. The issuing bodies span state departments of environmental protection, counties, cities, school districts, and special-purpose authorities. Florida Department of Environmental Protection's Bureau of Design and Construction dominates recent activity, posting multiple state park projects including drain-field repairs at John D. MacArthur Beach and Curry Hammock, restroom and bathhouse replacements with integrated septic components at Blue Spring and Suwannee River, and water holding tank and sewer improvements at Sebastian Inlet. Orange County, Florida has solicited large-scale septic-to-sewer conversions (Wekiva Springs retrofit, $9.5 million; Female Detention Center water piping, $4.1 million), while other Florida jurisdictions and counties across the country bid individual property abandonments, replacements, and repairs.

Recent opportunities concentrate in Florida, with secondary activity in Georgia, Michigan, Texas, Connecticut, New Jersey, South Carolina, and Arizona. Representative recent work includes the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission's installation of two wells and one septic system at J.W. Corbett Wildlife Management Area (ITB FWC 26/27-20C, bids due September 30, 2026); Orange County's Wekiva Springs Septic Tank Retrofit Project Phases 6A and 6B covering 83 residential parcels (Y26-761, bids due September 1, 2026, estimated $9.5 million); Gainesville Regional Utilities Authority's acquisition and operation of Cross Creek Mobile Home Park water and wastewater systems including a non-functional drainfield requiring tanker transport (ITN, proposals due November 3, 2026); and the City of New Smyrna Beach's Air Traffic Control Septic to Sewer conversion (ITB, bids due August 10, 2026). Florida state park projects consistently require prequalification, green building standards compliance, E-Verify verification, and Builder's Risk insurance. The code shows active procurement across institutional retrofit, municipal infrastructure conversion, and rural/park system installation work, with multi-year contracts and substantial capital budgets typical of the larger conversion and replacement projects.
