UNSPSC 83101504: Water distribution management

UNSPSC 83101504 Water distribution management is a Commodity code covering the operations, maintenance, testing, and infrastructure improvements that state and local governments procure to ensure reliable potable and reclaimed water delivery. Recent solicitations show municipalities and special districts buying repair and replacement of water mains and transmission lines, facility upgrades including SCADA system enhancements and control panel fabrication, water quality monitoring and testing services, tank rehabilitation, wellfield development, and treatment system design and installation. Issuing bodies range from city water departments and county utilities to regional water authorities, special districts, and state environmental agencies. The City of Palm Bay (Florida), Hillsborough County (Florida), Clackamas County (Oregon), Tampa Bay Water (regional authority), Sacramento County (California), and Salt Lake City Department of Public Utilities appear as repeat buyers in the most recent activity. Work spans everything from routine compliance testing—weekly microbial analysis, coliform sampling, lead and copper monitoring under regulatory mandates—to capital projects like the Orange County, Florida SCADA upgrades valued at $14.3 million and the Tri-City Water Resource Recovery Facility aeration basin refurbishment in Oregon at $3.7 million. Set-asides and preferences vary by issuer: Hillsborough County applied a 5 percent SBE goal; Clackamas County mandates M/W/ESB Good Faith Effort and prevailing wage compliance; Sacramento County and Salt Lake City projects reference local business preferences; California projects require DVBE and small business participation where applicable.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida (Palm Bay, Tampa Bay Water, Orange County, Sarasota County, Hillsborough County), California (Sacramento, Santa Cruz, Sonoma), Oregon (Clackamas County), Texas (Salt Lake City utilities, TDEM, North Texas Municipal Water District), Georgia (Fort Valley, Athens-Clarke County, Cumming, DeKalb County), Connecticut (Sterling, Meriden, Bristol), and Illinois (Department of Corrections facilities). Representative recent opportunities include Hillsborough County Capital Projects Management seeking sealed bids for a $4.7 million diesel generator at the Valrico Reclaimed Water Facility (IFB, November 18, 2026 deadline, 5% SBE goal); Clackamas County Water Environment Services requesting sealed bids for Tri-City Water Resource Recovery Facility aeration basin improvements at $3.7 million (BID 2026-78, November 10, 2026 deadline, prevailing wage and M/W/ESB Good Faith Effort required); the City of DeBary, Florida requesting competitive bids for Rob Sullivan Park irrigation system improvements at $90,000 (Bid 03-15, April 10, 2015 deadline); and Orange County, Florida issuing sealed bids for East Water Reclamation Facility SCADA upgrades and PLC replacements at $14.3 million (Y26-748, August 31, 2026 deadline, electronic submission via OpenGov platform required). Water infrastructure renewal and treatment facility modernization remain active across municipal and regional water systems nationwide; compliance testing and operational services dominate smaller contracts, while major capital projects concentrate in high-growth and infrastructure-challenged jurisdictions.
