UNSPSC 83101509: Service water

UNSPSC 83101509 Service water, a Commodity code, encompasses the procurement and delivery of potable water supply and related treatment, monitoring, testing, and infrastructure maintenance services that state and local governments use to support municipal water systems, wastewater facilities, correctional institutions, parks, and other public operations. Recent solicitations show state and local agencies buying water system monitoring and maintenance (weekly chlorine and bacteriological sampling, regulatory testing, and operator certifications), facility upgrades (clearwells, treatment systems, SCADA modernization, and control panels), infrastructure replacement (water mains and pump stations), specialized services (hydrogen sulfide control, atmospheric monitoring, trace organic laboratory analysis), and engineering design for water treatment and loss-control programs. The issuing bodies span water departments, county utilities commissions, cities, state departments of corrections, state environmental authorities, and special districts; Hillsborough County and the City of Palm Bay appear repeatedly as active buyers. Recent work includes treatment plant facility improvements (Orange County's $14.3 million East Water Reclamation Facility SCADA upgrade, the Town of Sterling's iron-and-manganese oxidation system), infrastructure renewal (Santa Cruz's $1 million Floral Drive water main replacement, Sacramento County's well monitoring services), and regulatory compliance testing (Illinois Department of Corrections facilities requiring Class B or higher certified operators, multiple Florida wastewater treatment plants).

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida (Orange County, Hillsborough County, Palm Bay, City of Orlando, Sarasota County), Illinois (Department of Corrections sites at Menard and Robinson), California (Santa Cruz, Sacramento County), and Georgia (Unified Government of Athens-Clarke County, City of Flowery Branch, Fort Valley Utility Commission), with secondary activity in Connecticut, Texas, Oregon, and Arizona. Representative recent solicitations include Hillsborough County's sealed-bid IFB (IFB2600406) for a 1500 kW diesel generator at Valrico Reclaimed Water Facility (estimated $4.7 million, due November 18, 2026), Clackamas County Water Environment Services' sealed-bid RFQ for aeration basin refurbishment at Tri-City Water Resource Recovery Facility (engineer's estimate $3.7 million, due November 10, 2026 with mandatory pre-bid October 21, 2026), and the City of Santa Cruz's RFQ (RFQNOWT0243) for water loss control program design and technical services (due April 24, 2026). Prevailing wage requirements, SBE and M/W/ESB subcontractor participation goals, and federal compliance provisions (Clean Air Act, Federal Water Pollution Control Act, E-Verify, and Byrd Anti-Lobbying) appear frequently in larger construction and operations procurements. The code shows consistent activity across design-build, professional services, and operations-and-maintenance contracts alongside discrete capital improvement and equipment replacement buys.
