NIGP 72017: Centrifugal Pumps, Compact, Submersible

NIGP 72017 Centrifugal Pumps, Compact, Submersible (Item) covers equipment procurement and repair services for centrifugal and submersible pump systems used across wastewater treatment, water supply, and lift station applications. State and local governments currently soliciting under this code are purchasing equipment ranging from compact submersible sewage pumps to large dry-pit centrifugal installations, OEM replacement parts, rebuild and repair services, equipment rentals, and maintenance agreements—with considerable activity in sole source and single vendor procurements driven by proprietary equipment integration and manufacturer certification requirements.

The issuing-body mix spans Florida counties (Hillsborough, Collier, and city-level utilities in Tampa, Tarpon Springs, DeLand, and Sanford) and city water or wastewater departments (Tucson, Atlanta, Bainbridge, St. Marys, and Gallup, New Mexico), with Hillsborough County appearing as a repeat buyer across multiple NIGP categories. Georgia (State of Georgia, City of Atlanta Department of Watershed Management, City of Bainbridge) and Florida municipalities drive the most recent activity. Recent solicitations include Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners ITB-26-00312 for centrifuge mobile sludge dewatering unit equipment rental ($6,623,000 estimated over five years, due July 27, 2026); Fulton County Department of Watershed Management IFB/GS/DWM/2606-1260240 for hose pump parts and replacement components for Watson-Marlow Bredel pumps (due July 31, 2026); City of Gallup, New Mexico ITB-2621 for a trailer-mounted diesel-driven centrifugal pump system with 74 horsepower, six-inch suction and discharge, and solids handling (due June 15, 2026); and City of St. Marys, Georgia ITB (CSAV250003) for Lift Station 13 Rehabilitation with a triplex submersible pump system rated 2,480 GPM at 122.9 feet of head, 480-volt, three-phase motors (due March 31, 2026). Sole source and single-source procurements dominate the code—Hillsborough County's $16,656,100 five-year Flygt pump contract with Xylem Water Solutions U.S.A., Inc., Collier County's single-source intent for Vaughan centrifugal and conditioning pumps, and Tampa's intent for Summit Pumps through Costal Reliability Solutions LLC reflect the equipment-specificity and manufacturer-certification lock-in common in water utility operations. Repair and maintenance services appear frequently, with City of Tarpon Springs ITB 260169-B-AS soliciting electric motor and pump repair services covering centrifugal equipment from multiple manufacturers (Emerson, GE, Flygt, Myers, Baldor, Flowserve) with labor rates and crane rental requirements (due June 17, 2026).
