NIGP 72056: Pumps, Miscellaneous (Not Otherwise Classified)

NIGP 72056 Pumps, Miscellaneous (Not Otherwise Classified) is an Item code under which state and local governments procure replacement parts for specialty pumps in water and wastewater treatment, emergency bypass and contingency pumping equipment for hurricane season and emergency response, and specialized submersible, centrifugal, and rotary dewatering pumps for solids handling at treatment facilities. The code captures both routine maintenance and repair of installed infrastructure and turnkey installation of new pump systems with integrated controls.

State and local water utilities, wastewater treatment authorities, and county emergency management divisions dominate recent activity. Hillsborough County, Florida appears as a significant repeat buyer, posting sole-source procurements for Flygt pump equipment ($16.6 million over five years), portable hurricane-season pump rentals ($5.6 million over five years), and contingency pump equipment for emergency response ($1.2 million annually). Georgia jurisdictions—Fulton County Department of Watershed Management, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, City of Cumming Utilities, and Douglasville-Douglas County Water and Sewer Authority—show sustained activity soliciting bypass pumping services, Watson-Marlow Bredel pump parts, clarifier drives, and high-service pump installations. North Carolina (North Texas Municipal Water District), Florida (Pinellas County Utilities, City of Ocala Water Resources, Toho Water Authority, City of Tampa), and California (Orange County Public Works, Caltrans, Long Beach Public Utilities) round out the geographic spread. Representative recent solicitations include Fulton County's IFB for Watson-Marlow Bredel hose pump parts and replacement components at Water Reclamation Centers (July 31, 2026 response date), Hillsborough County's ITB for trailer-mounted diesel and electric portable pumps for hurricane contingency with standby/active rental rates ($5.6 million, five-year term, July 31, 2026 response date), North Texas Municipal Water District's sealed-bid solicitation for a spiral-type clarifier drive with torque control (July 30, 2026 response date), and Gwinnett County's annual contract for bypass pumping services including self-priming diesel and electric pumps, submersible units, generators, and piping with 24/7 availability (July 10, 2026 response date). Sole-source and manufacturer-authorized distributor procurements remain common—Hillsborough County's awards to Xylem for Flygt equipment, Environmental Equipment Services for multi-manufacturer pumping and process equipment ($7.6 million over five years), and single-source notices to TriNova for ProMinent sodium hypochlorite skip pumps signal tight relationships with OEM representatives. Competitive sealed-bid and RFP activity emphasizes experience requirements (typically five to ten years on similar projects), detailed equipment specifications (GPM, discharge head, total dynamic head, power requirements, materials of construction), machine shop capabilities for custom fabrication and shaft repair, and compliance with prevailing wage, insurance, and bonding standards. MBE and DVBE set-asides appear in select Caltrans and California procurement but are not uniform across the code.
