NIGP 72013: Cavity Pumps, Progressive

NIGP 72013 Cavity Pumps, Progressive is an Item code under which state and local governments procure progressing cavity (or progressive lobe) pump equipment, replacement parts, and installation or repair services for wastewater treatment, potable water systems, and sludge handling across water utilities and municipal treatment facilities. Recent solicitations show demand for complete pump units, motor assemblies, bowl and shaft components, and full-service repair and maintenance contracts bundled with parts supply and OEM-standard workmanship. Issuing bodies include city water and wastewater departments, county water authorities, and multi-facility water reclamation systems. The City of Atlanta Department of Watershed Management and the City of Tucson Water Department appear as repeat buyers with multi-year, multi-site pump procurement and service contracts. Smaller municipal water utilities and regional water authorities also solicit under this code, typically for one-time replacements or annual requirements contracts.

Activity clusters in the Southeast (Florida, Georgia) and Southwest (Arizona, Texas), with recent activity posted from Fulton County Georgia, Hillsborough County Florida, Osceola County Florida, Pima County Arizona, and North Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the Fulton County Department of Watershed Management's IFB for Watson-Marlow Bredel hose pump parts and replacements (due July 31, 2026), the City of Sioux Falls' ITB for a single submersible sludge pump unit with rotary lobe or progressing cavity design (due March 19, 2026), and the City of Atlanta Department of Watershed Management's multi-step sealed bid pre-solicitation notice (closed May 29, 2026) covering progressing cavity pumps as one of nine pump classifications requiring full-service repair, parts replacement, and OEM-standard restoration with certified machine shop capability and manufacturer-trained personnel. The City of Tucson Water Department's RFP for deep well line-shaft and submersible pump installation and removal services (posted February 26, 2026) reflects ongoing demand for specialized pump service contractors with emergency response capability and experience across multiple pump sizes and installation depths.
