NIGP 50020: Extractors, Centrifugal

NIGP 50020 Extractors, Centrifugal (Item) encompasses centrifugal pump procurement, repair, and maintenance services that state and local governments buy for wastewater treatment, water management, and municipal utility operations. State and local issuing bodies posting under this code include counties, cities, and cooperative purchasing vehicles. Collier County, Florida recently posted a Notice of Intent to Single Source FJ Nugent & Associates, Inc. for Vaughan centrifugal, chopper, and conditioning pumps designed to meet engineered wastewater-treatment performance parameters with an intended contract term running October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2029. The City of Atlanta Department of Watershed Management in Georgia issued a pre-advertisement notice for a multi-step sealed bid process to procure comprehensive repair, maintenance, installation, and parts replacement services for nine classifications of pumps, including centrifugal pumps as Group IV, requiring vendors to own or have full access to a functional machine shop, field service equipment, and certified personnel in pump shaft alignment, welding, and machinist work, with a prequalification phase and formal Invitation for Bid and submission deadline of May 29, 2026.

Recent activity in the code concentrates in Florida and Georgia, with Atlanta's Department of Watershed Management representing a significant municipal water utility buyer. The City of Atlanta solicitation requires vendors to supply 90 percent of required parts within 24 hours and the remaining 10 percent within 72 hours, provide a one-year warranty on parts and services, comply with OSHA standards and lock out/tag out procedures, and accommodate manufacturer-specific requirements for Watson Marlow pumps (manufacturer-certified distributors only) and Flygt pumps (Xylem manufacturer-certified distributors). Pricing for both recent opportunities is not disclosed in available documentation; Collier County's single-source notice permits written objections asserting the availability of qualified alternative sources through June 10, 2026 at 3:00 p.m.
