NIGP 72064: Sewage and Sludge Pumps, Submersible

NIGP 72064 Sewage and Sludge Pumps, Submersible, an Item code, encompasses equipment and repair services that state and local governments procure to support wastewater treatment and conveyance operations—specifically submersible sewage pumps, grinder pumps, hose pumps, centrifuge mobile sludge dewatering units, and related parts, maintenance, and installation work. State and local issuers soliciting under this code span municipalities, county water and wastewater departments, transit authorities, and water resource districts across the country. Representative recent opportunities include Fulton County Department of Watershed Management's IFB for Watson-Marlow Bredel hose pump parts and replacement components (due July 31, 2026), Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' ITB for centrifuge mobile sludge dewatering unit equipment rental valued at $6,623,000 over five years (due July 27, 2026), and the City of Bainbridge, Georgia's RFB for two WILO-EMU submersible sewage pumps for the Columbia Street Lift Station with delivery and startup services (due June 4, 2026). Work is also being solicited for lift station rehabilitation and replacement projects involving submersible pump installation, such as the City of Daytona Beach's ITB for Lift Station #45 replacement with two Flygt submersible pumps (due May 21, 2026) and the City of Orlando's IFB for multiple lift station improvements valued at approximately $6,500,000 (due April 30, 2026).

Activity concentrates in Florida, Georgia, and Texas, with notable recent activity from Hillsborough County (multiple sludge dewatering and pump procurements), the City of Atlanta Department of Watershed Management (comprehensive pump repair and maintenance services across nine pump classifications; pre-solicitation phase ongoing), and the City of Daytona Beach (multiple lift station replacement projects). Other states with active solicitation include Mississippi (multiple cities soliciting pump station improvements), Maryland (Howard County's grit facility replacement), and California (Caltrans sump pump maintenance with small business and DVBE set-asides). Repair and parts supply dominate alongside capital projects; competitive sealed bids and invitations for bid are the standard notice type. Sole source procurements appear regularly—Hillsborough County's sole source awards to Xylem Water Solutions USA, Inc. for Flygt equipment ($16,656,100 estimated over five years) and to DXP Enterprises, Inc. for proprietary equipment and parts ($6,600,000 estimated over five years) signal strong incumbent relationships tied to installed equipment compatibility. Prevailing wage, E-Verify, and federal compliance (Davis-Bacon, American Iron and Steel, state revolving funds) requirements appear frequently in larger construction and infrastructure projects.
