UNSPSC 83101508: Town water

UNSPSC 83101508 Town water, a Commodity code, describes portable and stationary equipment, chemical treatments, testing services, and infrastructure work that state and local governments procure to supply, test, treat, and distribute potable water to residential and commercial end-users. Recent state and local solicitations under the code range from water testing and quality monitoring at correctional facilities and treatment plants, to water main replacement and distribution system upgrades, to aquifer storage and recovery well conversions, to SCADA system enhancements and control panel fabrication for water reclamation facilities. State departments of corrections, environmental protection divisions, county water authorities, city water departments, and regional water environment services entities are the primary issuing bodies. Solicitations span Illinois Department of Corrections (water testing at correctional centers), Georgia Environmental Finance Authority (clean water needs assessment), Texas Health and Human Services Commission (wastewater analysis), City of Santa Cruz Water Department (multiple water infrastructure and environmental services contracts), Orange County Florida (SCADA upgrades), and municipalities in California, Florida, Georgia, Oregon, and Utah. The code sees active recent procurement across the Southeast (Georgia, Florida), California, the Pacific Northwest (Oregon), Texas, Utah, and the Upper Midwest (Illinois), with particular concentration among city water departments and county utility authorities managing multi-facility drinking water and wastewater systems.
