UNSPSC 95121810: Irrigation and flood control waterworks

UNSPSC 95121810 Irrigation and flood control waterworks, a Commodity code, encompasses construction, rehabilitation, and design services for water intake systems, pumping stations, treatment plant improvements, storage tanks, water distribution infrastructure, stormwater management, and related appurtenances that state and local governments procure to maintain drinking water supplies, wastewater systems, and flood mitigation capabilities. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county water authorities, municipal water departments, regional water and sewer authorities, county commissions, city public works divisions, special districts, and state agencies managing water infrastructure. The recent opportunities show a mix of standalone utilities and multi-jurisdictional partnerships: Pasco County and Cherokee County Water & Sewerage Authority (Georgia) are repeat buyers within the sample, as are several Texas municipalities and South Carolina counties. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Waco's Speegleville Road Lift Station Improvements Project (IFB, August 12, 2026 deadline) requesting design and installation of a new lift station with $1.5 million engineering estimate and mandatory 40 percent self-performance by the general contractor; Collier County's SCRWTP Lime Softening Improvements Blend Tank (IFB, July 1, 2026 deadline, now closed) for $3.29 million in chemical system upgrades at an operating water treatment plant with 335-day substantial completion requirement; the City of Calhoun's CMAR solicitation for PFAS compliance treatment upgrades at two drinking water facilities (proposals due July 30, 2026) covering reverse osmosis systems and microfiltration pretreatment with 920-day construction schedules commencing October 2027; and the Henry County Water Authority's James Creek Lift Station and Sanitary Sewer Extension project (IFB, August 6, 2026 deadline) for duplex pump station installation and gravity sewer pipe with 8-inch PVC.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Florida, and South Carolina, with secondary presence in Wisconsin, Oregon, and Connecticut. Texas projects include the City of Waco's $1.5 million lift station work, the Speegleville Bridge Over Middle Bosque Replacement (joint City of Waco and TxDOT, July 29, 2026 deadline, $17.3 million engineering estimate requiring 30 percent prime self-performance), Williamson County's Smith Branch Flood Control and Water Quality Ponds (IFB, July 21, 2026 deadline), and the Texas Historical Commission water storage tank installation at San Felipe de Austin State Historic Site (IFB, July 9, 2026 deadline). Georgia activity spans county authorities and municipal departments: Fayette County's Crosstown Water Treatment Plant chemical system upgrades (ITB, August 12, 2026 deadline), Cobb County's 30,000-unit water meter changeout services (July 23, 2026 deadline), the City of Calhoun's PFAS treatment plant upgrades under CMAR (July 30, 2026 deadline), and the City of Sandersville's N. Anderson Drive water line installation (July 14, 2026 deadline). Florida projects include Collier County's treatment plant improvements (now closed), the City of Apopka's Golden Gem Reclaimed Water Pump Station (ITB, June 30, 2026 deadline), and Marion County's Southwest Regional Water Reclamation Facility operations and maintenance improvements (ITB, July 9, 2026 deadline). South Carolina activity features Dorchester County's force main exposure and water main connection projects (IFBs, June 26 and July 7 deadlines) and Beaufort County's Morgan Road Water Main installation (July 28, 2026 deadline). Evaluation criteria across solicitations emphasize relevant experience with similar water or wastewater treatment facilities, financial capacity and bonding capability, technical approach and construction methodology, safety record and past performance, and responsiveness to specifications; many solicitations require bidder site visits, pre-bid or pre-proposal conferences, and compliance with prevailing wage, Davis-Bacon, Build America Buy America, and DBE or HUB subcontracting requirements.
