UNSPSC 83101501: Supply of water

UNSPSC 83101501 Supply of water, a Commodity code, encompasses testing, monitoring, and infrastructure work for potable and reclaimed water systems that state and local governments are currently procuring across treatment facilities, correctional institutions, and municipal water distribution networks. Recent solicitations show government buyers acquiring water quality testing services, wastewater analysis and monitoring, SCADA system upgrades and maintenance, water main replacement and repair, chlorine tank inspections, production well construction, and ancillary laboratory and technical support services—a scope considerably broader than the code's nominal title suggests and reflecting active capital investment and regulatory compliance activity in water infrastructure.

The issuing bodies span state departments of corrections and environmental protection, county water authorities, city utilities departments, and special-purpose water districts across multiple states. Illinois Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Georgia Environmental Finance Authority, Sacramento County, and the Cities of Santa Cruz, Palm Bay, Casselberry, Fort Worth, Dallas, and others have posted solicitations under or closely aligned with this code in the past two months. Geographic activity concentrates in California, Florida, Georgia, Texas, Illinois, and Oregon, with additional activity in Colorado, Utah, and North Carolina. Representative recent opportunities include the Illinois Department of Corrections' solicitation for water testing services at Menard Correctional Center (RFQ due July 17, 2026), the Georgia Environmental Finance Authority's Clean Water Needs Survey consulting services for state revolving fund eligibility assessment (RFQ due July 24, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's wastewater analysis services at Mexia State Supported Living Center (IFB due July 23, 2026), and the Santa Cruz Water Department's water main replacement project on Floral Drive (IFB due June 4, 2026, engineer's estimate $1,000,000). Set-asides appear selectively—Illinois applied a small business set-aside to Robinson Correctional Center water operator services—while most open solicitations do not designate disadvantaged enterprise preferences, suggesting broad competitive opportunity across vendor types and sizes pursuing work under this code.
