NIGP 72067: Sewage and Sludge Pumps, Surface Mounted

NIGP 72067 Sewage and Sludge Pumps, Surface Mounted is an Item code encompassing centrifugal, chopper, dewatering, and vertical turbine pump equipment and services that state and local governments deploy across wastewater collection, treatment, and sludge management operations. Recent solicitations show demand for permanent pump installations at lift stations, portable rental equipment for emergency response and bypass operations, replacement and repair services for installed pump fleets, OEM parts and components for standardized equipment, and equipment-selection design recommendations from manufacturers. Issuing bodies include county utilities departments (Hillsborough County, Florida; Fulton County and Lowndes County, Georgia; Collier County, Florida), city water and wastewater utilities (Sanford and Tarpon Springs, Florida; Gallup, New Mexico; Lubbock, Texas), regional water authorities (West Travis County Public Utility Agency, Eatonton Putnam Water & Sewer Authority), school districts (Pinellas County Schools, Florida), and special-purpose purchasing cooperatives. Repeat buyers include Hillsborough County (multiple five-year rental and services contracts totaling $27.8 million across portable pump rentals, centrifuge dewatering units, and sole-source pump and parts agreements) and Georgia jurisdictions conducting lift-station bypass and rehabilitation projects.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida and Georgia, with secondary activity in Texas, New Mexico, and cooperative purchasing spanning multi-state regions.
