NIGP 72079: Trash Pumps, Portable, Engine-Driven

NIGP 72079 Trash Pumps, Portable, Engine-Driven is an Item code under which state and local governments procure trailer-mounted and portable diesel- and gas-powered pumps for dewatering, bypass operations, emergency response, and wastewater treatment support. Recent solicitations show active demand across water departments, emergency management divisions, and municipal utilities for both new equipment purchases and parts replacement, with issuing bodies including Georgia counties and municipalities, Texas state forestry, Illinois emergency management, and Florida municipalities. The work spans acquisition of complete pump systems (including suction and discharge hoses, fittings, and accessories) and consumable replacement parts for existing fleets, with specifications typically calling for solids-handling capability, self-priming functionality, and Tier 4 diesel compliance. Issuing bodies range from county-level water and sewer departments to state emergency agencies and city public works divisions; Fulton County (Georgia) Department of Watershed Management and the City of Atlanta Department of Watershed Management appear multiple times in recent activity.

Texas, Georgia, Illinois, and Florida dominate recent activity in this Item code. Representative opportunities include the Illinois Emergency Management Agency-Office of Homeland Security issuing an IFB on March 27, 2026 (due April 13, 2026) for three trailer-mounted 8-inch diesel trash pumps with minimum 3,200 gallons-per-minute capacity and Tier 4 engines for flood operations; Texas A&M Forest Service posting an IFB on July 1, 2026 (due July 2, 2026) for twelve Gorman-Rupp/Honda gas-powered trash pumps (3-inch, model-locked, no substitutes permitted) for aerial fire retardant mixing at fire bases; the City of Gallup, New Mexico issuing an ITB on June 15, 2026 (due same day) for one trailer-mounted diesel centrifugal pump with 74-horsepower minimum, 6-inch connections, and solids-handling to 3 inches; Douglas County (Georgia) through Effingham County Water and Sewer Department posting an RFQ on May 6, 2026 (due May 22, 2026) for a trailer-mounted sewer bypass pump; and Fulton County (Georgia) Department of Watershed Management issuing an IFB on July 19, 2026 (due July 31, 2026) for Watson-Marlow Bredel hose pump parts and replacement components for wastewater treatment facilities.
