UNSPSC 83101506: Water treatment services

UNSPSC 83101506 Water treatment services, a Commodity code, encompasses routine water quality testing, plant operations and maintenance, legionella monitoring, corrosion control studies, and chemical analysis services that state and local governments procure to ensure safe drinking water and regulatory compliance at municipal water treatment facilities, correctional institutions, wildlife areas, and veterans' homes. Recent state and local solicitations under this code reveal a mix of testing-focused work—weekly water sampling, bacteriological analysis, DMR reporting to environmental agencies—and operational contracts for facility staffing, equipment maintenance, and emergency response. The issuing bodies span state departments (Illinois Department of Corrections, California Department of Fish and Wildlife, California Department of Veterans Affairs, California Department of Water Resources, Texas Health and Human Services Commission), counties (Fresno County, Sacramento County, Orange County), cities and water districts (Santa Cruz Water Department, City of Atlanta Department of Watershed Management, Central Florida Tourism Oversight District), and special districts (Georgia Environmental Finance Authority). California agencies and Florida municipal utilities appear frequently as repeat buyers; Illinois correctional facilities, Texas state facilities, and Georgia state environmental authorities also show recurring activity.

Recent representative opportunities include the State of Illinois Department of Corrections' July 2026 RFQ for water testing services at Menard Correctional Center (due July 17, 2026), requiring licensed vendors to perform routine potable water quality testing with state liability insurance of $1 million per occurrence and $2 million aggregate; the California Department of Fish and Wildlife's July 2026 IFB for biweekly water plant maintenance at Mendota Wildlife Area in Fresno County (due July 28, 2026, with mandatory job walk July 16 and minimum 3% DVBE participation), estimated at $49,500 over a three-year term and requiring C-36 or C-55 contractor licenses plus Water Treatment Operator Grade T2 or higher certification; Texas Health and Human Services Commission's July 2026 RFQ for wastewater analysis and monthly potable water testing at Mexia State Supported Living Center (due July 23, 2026), valued at $48,600 annually for a four-year term; and the California Department of Veterans Affairs' June 2026 IFB for legionella water testing services at Chula Vista Veterans Home (due June 16, 2026), a three-year contract requiring CDC ELITE laboratory certification and a California Qualified Applicator's License with Aquatic and Microbial Pest Control categories. Activity concentrates in California, Texas, Illinois, Florida, and Georgia, with scattered procurement from specialized districts and county facilities nationwide.
