UNSPSC 72154056: Tank maintenance or repair service

Includes repair or maintenance of storage tanks owned by company; above ground or under ground, and associated equipment

UNSPSC 72154056 Tank maintenance or repair service (Commodity) encompasses the cleaning, inspection, maintenance, and repair of storage tanks — including chemical tanks, fuel tanks, water tanks, and specialized industrial tanks — that state and local governments operate across utilities, transportation, corrections, environmental protection, and emergency services. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers procuring hazardous chemical tank cleaning and disposal, potable water tank restoration and internal cleaning with dive teams, fuel oil tank replacements and system maintenance, asphalt and emulsion tank inspection and component repair, bilge facility tank replacement, and emergency tank removal and decontamination. Florida ranks as a significant issuing jurisdiction, with the Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners, Florida Department of Environmental Protection, Florida Department of Transportation, and California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation all active in the code. Counties, state departments, city public utilities, and school districts issue work under this code on a mix of term contracts, fixed-price rebid procurements, and on-call task order structures. Licensing and certification requirements vary by tank type and jurisdiction — chemical tank handling requires hazmat credentials, potable water tank work requires commercial diver certification and compliance with AWWA and Cal/OSHA standards, and fuel tank work typically requires state-specific tank removal or installation certification.

Geographic spread spans California, Florida, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, and Minnesota, with particularly active recent posting in Florida and California. Representative recent opportunities include Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners' IFB for chemical tank cleaning, removal, and disposal of sulfuric acid and sodium hydroxide tanks under term contract with bids due November 16, 2026; the Florida Department of Environmental Protection's ITB for water holding tank design and construction at Sebastian Inlet State Park due October 27, 2026; the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation's rebid IFB for water tank cleaning, maintenance, inspection, and repair across 32 locations statewide with a mandatory 25 percent small business participation requirement and bids due September 9, 2026; the City of Meriden, Connecticut's RFP for sewer main and manhole relining with a minimum 3 million feet of prior pipe-lining experience requirement, due October 1, 2026; and the Texas Department of Transportation's IFB for emulsion tank cleaning and repair at the Stratford Maintenance Office, due August 3, 2026 (emergency purchase). Procurement activity shows consistent demand for specialized certifications, insurance coverage mandates (general liability, workers' compensation, professional liability), and compliance with federal and state environmental and safety standards across utilities, transportation, and corrections portfolios.
