The installationof underground petroleum storage tanks on property owned by others

UNSPSC 72154034 Underground petroleum storage tank installation service is a Commodity code that encompasses the inspection, maintenance, operator certification, and emergency response services state and local governments procure for underground and aboveground fuel storage tank systems at transportation facilities, water and wastewater treatment plants, and public utility sites. The work includes monthly and bi-annual tank inspections, leak monitoring and overfill prevention testing, secondary containment integrity verification, tank gauge replacement, condensate management, employee training on tank operation and safety, and on-call repair and decommissioning services. State departments of transportation, state law enforcement agencies, municipal water districts, and university facilities management offices are the primary issuing bodies. The California Department of Transportation, California Department of Highway Patrol, and Eastern Municipal Water District have posted multiple recent solicitations under or closely aligned with this code, indicating sustained procurement activity from state transportation and utilities sectors in California and the broader West.

Recent activity shows geographic concentration in California, with the CHP Central Region ITB 25C078004 (April 2026, due April 27) covering 30 facility locations across 13 counties for underground and aboveground storage tank inspection and training, and Caltrans District 11 IFB 11A4414 (May 2026, due June 9) seeking Designated Underground Storage Tank Operator services at its San Diego Transportation Management Center on a three-year contract commencing July 1, 2026. The Caltrans solicitation emphasizes geographic proximity—contractors must maintain an office within fifty miles of the facility for emergency response—and mandatory certifications including a California Contractors State License Board C-61/D-40 license and current California UST System Operator certificate from the International Code Council. Eastern Connecticut State University posted an ITB (February 2026, due February 27) for UST removal and generator replacement at its North Heat Plant in Tolland County, Connecticut, with a mandatory pre-bid meeting. State prevailing wage applies to public works components, and small business and disabled veteran business enterprise incentives are available under California solicitations. Subcontracting restrictions, high insurance requirements ($1 million to $2 million general liability), and multi-year contract terms are standard.
