NIGP 72040: Mechanical Pumps and Accessories

NIGP 72040 Mechanical Pumps and Accessories, Item code, covers the repair, replacement, and supply of mechanical pumps and associated components used across water, wastewater, and utility infrastructure. State and local governments procure on-call pump repair and rebuild services; lift station pump replacement and installation; OEM-certified parts and warranty support for standard pump lines; and new pump procurement for raw water, recycled water, and wastewater facilities. Recent opportunities span water districts, county and city utilities, school districts, and special-purpose authorities conducting IFBs, RFPs, RFQs, and ITBs for everything from emergency bypass pump installations to engineered replacements of vertical turbine, submersible, and centrifugal pump assemblies rated from tens to hundreds of horsepower. Activity reflects ongoing capital replacement cycles driven by aging infrastructure and regulatory compliance requirements around wastewater treatment and potable water delivery.

Geographic spread covers Florida (Pinellas County Schools, Hillsborough County, Orange County, Lowndes County School District and surrounding Georgia jurisdictions), Texas (West Travis County PUA, Klein ISD, Texas A&M Forest Service, City of Gallup New Mexico), Georgia (City of Atlanta Department of Watershed Management, City of Augusta), and Utah (Salt Lake City).

SBE, LBE, VOBE, and MBE preferences appear in multiple solicitations; Florida Department of Management Services cooperative purchasing pricing is used in school district and county evaluations. Mandatory pre-bid conferences, site visits, insurance and bonding requirements, and OSHA/confined-space compliance are routine conditions. Lead times for specialized equipment range from four weeks to several months; warranty periods typically span 12 to 24 months from startup.
