UNSPSC 81101527: Wastewater engineering

The design of wastewater systems -sanitary sewer and grey water- is the design of a closed network of pipes, buffer chambers, pumping stations and sewage treatment plants. These are used to remove wastewater from human activity and treat the wastewater to

UNSPSC 81101527 Wastewater engineering, a Commodity code, encompasses design, engineering, inspection, and construction-phase services for wastewater treatment plant upgrades, pump station rehabilitation, sludge handling systems, clarifier equipment, force main installation, and on-call engineering support across municipal and county water reclamation and wastewater collection infrastructure. State and local governments procure these services through a mix of issuing bodies: municipal water districts and utilities, county commissioners and environmental service agencies, cities, water reclamation authorities, and special-purpose districts. The recent opportunity block shows substantial activity across all three categories—design-build and design-bid-build projects, on-call engineering frameworks, and equipment-specific retrofit and rehabilitation work. North Texas Municipal Water District, Charles County (Maryland) Department of Public Works, West Basin Municipal Water District (California), Fulton County Georgia, the Town of Glastonbury (Connecticut), Seminole County (Florida), the City of Phoenix, and Beaufort Jasper Water & Sewer Authority represent typical buyers issuing RFPs, RFQs, and ITBs under this code.

Recent opportunities cluster heavily in the Southeast and Southwest, with activity in Texas, Georgia, Florida, Connecticut, Maryland, South Carolina, and California. Representative recent work includes Charles County's on-call water and wastewater engineering services (RFP 27004, proposals due August 25, 2026) for design, construction management, and permitting across pump stations and treatment plants with a ten-year experience threshold; West Basin's on-call professional engineering services covering hydraulic modeling, facility planning, and design across water and wastewater treatment improvements (RFP RFPTH0128, proposals due July 14, 2026, with up to five awards valued at approximately $3,000,000 total); Fulton County's progressive design-build for the Friendship Pump Station and associated force main (RFP 26RFP150795K-JAJ, proposals due August 12, 2026); and Glastonbury's Parker Terrace wastewater pumping station upgrades (ITB GL202709, bids due August 4, 2026). Opportunities span equipment supply (fiberglass weir plates, clarifier drives), construction of new infrastructure, and rehabilitation of aging facilities, with many incorporating prevailing-wage requirements and multi-discipline design teams holding licenses in structural, mechanical, electrical, and process engineering.
