UNSPSC 81141807: Plumbing or sewer inspection service

UNSPSC 81141807 Plumbing or sewer inspection service is a Commodity code covering diagnostic, assessment, and video inspection work on gravity sewer mains, storm drains, lift stations, and related wastewater infrastructure that state and local governments solicit regularly across multiple facility types and jurisdictions. Recent opportunities show municipalities and state agencies buying this work to assess system condition, identify defects and repairs, plan maintenance scheduling, and support compliance with environmental or asset-management standards. The code captures video inspection with joint and crack measurement, manhole inspection and cleaning, desilting operations, multi-sensor assessments, sewer line cleaning, and related documentation deliverables—work performed by contractors holding specialized certifications (NASSCO PACP, LACP, MACP), state plumbing or sanitation licenses, and equipment such as camera systems and high-pressure cleaning rigs. Issuing bodies span state transportation and facilities departments, county public works, municipal water and sewer utilities, wastewater authorities, and state correctional facilities; issuing patterns show repeat activity from Florida Department of Transportation District Seven, the City of Atlanta Department of Aviation (for IT infrastructure support systems), and multiple Florida and Connecticut water and wastewater treatment jurisdictions. Work is geographically distributed across Florida, Connecticut, California, Texas, Utah, Michigan, North Carolina, and Washington, with particular concentration in Florida (District Seven multi-county storm drain inspections, municipal sewer assessment contracts) and the Northeast corridor (Connecticut wastewater utilities, state facility projects).

Representative recent opportunities include the Florida Department of Transportation District Seven's two competitive sealed-bid procurements for storm drain video inspection services (bids due August 18 and June 8, 2026), the North Texas Municipal Water District's sealed-bid solicitation for multi-sensor inspection, manhole inspection, and sewer line cleaning (bids due September 3, 2026), Hanksville Town's IFB for sewer line inspection and cleaning of approximately 24,750 feet across 74 manholes (bids due August 27, 2026), the City of Meriden Department of Public Utilities' RFP for comprehensive sewer main and manhole maintenance, lining, and re-lining services (proposals due October 1, 2026), the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation's IFB for sewer line and storm drain cleaning and repair services at California State Prison Solano with a 25% small business participation requirement (bids due July 31, 2026), and Hudson Valley Community College's sealed-bid request for sewer cleaning services with prevailing-wage requirements (bids due August 4, 2026). Technical qualification barriers including minimum years of experience (three to five years documented in recent solicitations), active NASSCO certifications, state plumbing licenses, and specialized equipment create a filtered bidding universe; several recent procurements also restrict incumbent vendors or require substantial prior project portfolios (City of Meriden requires 3 million feet of prior lining experience with 250,000 feet minimum in 24-inch or larger diameter pipe).
