UNSPSC 72152909: Metal storage tank erection service

The erection of metal storage tank steel components on property owned by others

UNSPSC 72152909 Metal storage tank erection service is a Commodity code that encompasses installation, assembly, and setup of above-ground and underground metal storage tanks at state and local facilities, including supporting structural work such as foundations, anchors, bracing, and mechanical connections. Based on recent state and local solicitations, the code sees activity primarily in college and university facility upgrades, state agency infrastructure projects, and corrections and healthcare system improvements. Issuing bodies include Washington community colleges (Big Bend Community College, Everett Community College, South Seattle College, Edmonds College, Clover Park Technical College, Lake Washington Institute of Technology, Shoreline Community College, Tacoma Community College, Skagit Valley College, Clark College, North Seattle College), Washington state departments (Department of Corrections, Department of Social & Health Services, Department of Children Youth and Families, Department of Veterans Affairs, Department of Ecology, Military Department), and out-of-state public agencies including Santa Clara County (California) healthcare facilities, the Nevada Army National Guard, Georgia technical colleges, and the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. The code captures broader building renovation and infrastructure work beyond storage tanks alone—recent opportunities tagged to this code span facility remodels, elevator modernizations, roof repairs, fire alarm upgrades, HVAC replacements, water line replacements, security upgrades, and sewer infrastructure work—suggesting that state and local procurement systems may apply this code to multi-trade capital projects rather than isolating tank erection as a discrete line item.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Washington state (the largest concentration, with multiple college and agency solicitations), California (Santa Clara County medical center seismic compliance and renovation projects), Georgia (technical college CDL driving range and hospital treatment hall renovation), Texas, and Nevada. Washington state dominates the recent activity stream, with community colleges, corrections facilities, and state departments issuing bids throughout the second and third quarters of 2026. Representative opportunities include Big Bend Community College's Building 1800 ATEC remodel (IFB, due November 11, 2026), the Washington Department of Corrections' AHCC shower repair rebid (IFB, due December 2, 2026), Santa Clara County's O'Connor Hospital NPC 4/5 Seismic Compliance Project prequalification (RFSQ, due August 27, 2026 for prequalification and RFP due September 24, 2026 for proposals), and the Nevada Army National Guard's AASF Fuel Farm Gangway system procurement (RFP with mandatory site visit October 16, 2026, proposals due October 21, 2026). The fuel farm gangway opportunity most directly aligns with tank erection scope, requiring design, procurement, and installation of a complete gangway system with foundations and structural work under Unified Facilities Criteria and OSHA standards, with a two-year contract term anticipated to begin in December 2026.
