NIGP 72064: Sewage and Sludge Pumps, Submersible

NIGP 72064 Sewage and Sludge Pumps, Submersible, an Item code, encompasses the procurement of submersible pump equipment and related repair, rebuild, and replacement services that state and local governments deploy across wastewater and water reclamation infrastructure. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring specific submersible pump models (Flygt, Xylem, Liberty, Myers, WILO-EMU, KSB, and others), on-call motor and pump repair services across lift stations and treatment facilities, emergency bypass pump installations, and both sole-source and competitive purchases of OEM parts and labor. Issuing bodies span wastewater utilities, water districts, municipal utilities, county environmental and watershed departments, school districts operating wastewater infrastructure, and regional water authorities. Repeat buyers visible in recent activity include Volusia County, Florida (multiple electric motor repair ITBs for submersible pump motors at seven wastewater treatment facilities, nine water treatment facilities, and 126 sewer lift stations), the City of Tampa (framework RFQs for branded sewage pumps), and Florida-based municipalities issuing sole-source and competitive procurements for Flygt and Xylem equipment. Hillsborough County, Georgia's Department of Watershed Management, West Basin Municipal Water District, and the City of St. Cloud also appear in multiple recent solicitations for lift station and pump repair services.

Geographic concentration is pronounced in Florida and Georgia, where recent activity clusters around wastewater infrastructure modernization and lift station replacement projects. The five-state region encompassing Florida, Georgia, Texas, Alabama, and surrounding territories accounts for the most recent high-volume opportunity postings. Representative recent opportunities include Volusia County's September 2026 ITB 27-B-03LB for electric motor repair services supporting submersible pump motors across seven wastewater and nine water treatment facilities (responses due October 21, 2026), West Basin Municipal Water District's RFP RFPTH0143 for on-call pump and motor repairs, rebuilds, and replacement services at eight recycled water and pumping facilities in Los Angeles County (proposals due October 1, 2026, with a $1,000,000 not-to-exceed value over two years), the City of St. Cloud's ITB 2026-071 for lift station installation and rehabilitation services on a per-project task authorization basis (bids due July 21, 2026), Hillsborough County's sole-source procurement SS2600273 for Flygt pump equipment and OEM parts from Xylem Water Solutions USA, Inc. at $16.656 million estimated value over five years (close date May 29, 2026), and the City of Tarpon Springs' ITB 260169-B-AS for electric motor and pump repair services for water and wastewater divisions (bids due June 17, 2026). Sole-source awards to authorized dealers and OEM-certified service providers (Xylem, Gerber Pumps International, Power and Pumps, FJ Nugent & Associates, and TSC Jacobs, Inc.) represent a substantial portion of activity, reflecting standardization practices and the specialized nature of submersible pump maintenance in municipal wastewater systems.
