UNSPSC 95121805: Well

A hole bored into the earth yielding water or other valuable liquids

UNSPSC 95121805 Well (Commodity) is a narrow classification capturing groundwater and surface-water intake, storage, and conveyance infrastructure that state and local water utilities are actively procuring, though recent solicitations show the code's scope includes broader water-system work such as treatment-plant upgrades, pump-station construction, force-main installations, and water-line replacements that functionally overlap with general water distribution and treatment services. State and local governments soliciting under this code include municipalities (cities of Brownsville, Waco, Huntsville, Amarillo, Elberton, Sandersville), counties (Pasco County, Collier County, Dorchester County, Beaufort County, McLennan County, Marion County, Cobb County, Fayette County, Cherokee County, Henry County), water authorities and utilities (Cherokee County Water & Sewerage Authority, Springfield Utility Board, Cobb County Water System, Douglasville-Douglas County Water and Sewer Authority), special districts (Texas A&M University System), and state agencies (Texas Historical Commission, Texas Health and Human Services Commission). The mix spans urban and rural jurisdictions across a range of fiscal capacities, with repeat buyers including Georgia and Florida jurisdictions and Texas municipal utilities driving concentrated activity.

Recent solicitations under this code exemplify design-build and turnkey delivery for mid- to large-scale infrastructure: the City of Brownsville (RFQ 29526ITRFQ, due August 18, 2026) is pursuing turnkey engineering, procurement, and construction for middle-mile fiber-optic network expansion—a notable scope mismatch showing the code may capture broadband infrastructure tagged by posting systems; the City of Waco (RFB 2026-025, due August 12, 2026) is soliciting lift-station improvements with a mandatory 40 percent self-perform threshold and $1.5 million engineering estimate; Collier County (Bid 26-8683, due July 1, 2026) is requesting sealed bids for $3.29 million in lime-softening chemical-system upgrades at a water-treatment plant; and Cobb County Water System (PE77050NONST2026000000093, due July 23, 2026) is pursuing annual water-meter changeout services for up to 30,000 residential and light-commercial meters across a multi-year contract. Activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Florida, with secondary activity in the Carolinas and Pacific Northwest. Most opportunities are competitive sealed IFB or RFB procurements with prevailing-wage and Build America, Buy America compliance requirements, performance and payment bonds at 100 percent of contract value, and 60- to 120-day contract timelines common.
