NIGP 46077: Sewage and Sludge Pump Hose

NIGP 46077 Sewage and Sludge Pump Hose, an Item code, covers replacement hose, pump components, and ancillary equipment for wastewater and lift-station operations at municipal water reclamation and treatment facilities. State and local governments solicit under this code primarily for Watson-Marlow Bredel pump parts and assemblies, trailer-mounted centrifugal pump systems with hoses and fittings, submersible lift-station pumps, and sludge dewatering equipment rentals. Issuing bodies include city and county water and wastewater departments, with municipal wastewater treatment agencies (Atlanta, Pembroke Pines, Gallup) and regional authorities (Macon Water Authority, Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners, Fulton County Department of Watershed Management) as repeat participants. The procurement mix spans routine component replacement (gasket kits, hose assemblies, shims) through capital equipment acquisitions and full-system rehabilitation projects with general contractor oversight and specialized vendor qualifications.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Georgia, with secondary solicitation across the Southeast and Southwest.
