NIGP 72015: Centrifugal Pumps, Portable

NIGP 72015 Centrifugal Pumps, Portable is an Item code capturing state and local procurement of portable centrifugal pump systems and replacement parts for emergency response, wastewater treatment, water infrastructure, and bypass pumping operations. The code spans equipment rentals, repairs, component replacements, and ancillary services driven primarily by municipal water districts, county environmental and watershed management departments, and city utilities operations. Solicitations range from single-unit trailer-mounted pump acquisitions (diesel-driven, solids-handling, or specialized designs) to blanket purchase agreements for OEM parts and manufacturer-authorized repair labor on installed fleet equipment. Recent activity reflects substantial spending on Flygt and Xylem pump systems, Pentair vertical turbine equipment, Godwin portable pumps, and Watson-Marlow hose pumps, with contracts also covering comprehensive repair, rebuild, and warranty services at labor rates of $145 to $181 per hour and multiyear non-to-exceed values reaching into the tens of millions.

Recent opportunities cluster in Florida, Georgia, and Texas, with notable activity from Hillsborough County (a $16.6 million five-year sole-source Flygt blanket agreement with Xylem Water Solutions), West Basin Municipal Water District in California (a $1 million two-year on-call pump repair contract with SBE/LBE/VOBE incentives), Lowndes County Georgia (permanent bypass pump installation at 20 lift stations), Collier County Florida (single-source Vaughan centrifugal and chopper pump contract), the City of Atlanta Department of Watershed Management (multistep sealed-bid prequalification for nine pump classifications), and TxDOT's Corpus Christi District (a trailer-mounted water pump for flood removal). Educational Service District 564 in Texas issued a portable construction and maintenance equipment bid (RFB CM0227, due November 19, 2026), and the City of Gallup, New Mexico solicited a single trailer-mounted diesel pump system with Tier 4 Final compliance (ITB-2621, June 15, 2026 deadline). Cooperative purchasing vehicles appear—notably the City of Valdosta, Georgia leveraging the Florida Sheriffs Association FSA23-EQU21.0 Xylem cooperative contract for pump procurement. Sole-source and manufacturer-authorized-distributor-only structures are common due to proprietary equipment integration and warranty requirements.
