NIGP 72042: Packing, Pump

NIGP 72042 Packing, Pump, an Item code, covers pump repair, rebuild, replacement, and installation services that state and local water and wastewater utilities procure to maintain and upgrade their distribution and treatment infrastructure. State and local governments solicit these services through on-call repair and maintenance contracts, as well as capital installation projects at lift stations, water recycling facilities, and pumping stations.
