NIGP 82062: Feedwater Pumps

NIGP Item 82062 Feedwater Pumps covers the procurement of specialized pump equipment, OEM replacement parts, and associated repair and maintenance services that state and local governments use to operate and sustain critical water and wastewater infrastructure. State and local buyers under this code include county public utilities departments, municipal water resources divisions, and waste-to-energy facilities, with recent solicitations showing activity from Collier County, Hillsborough County, the City of Holly Hill, the City of Tucson, and the City of Tampa. The scope of work ranges from preventative maintenance and 24/7 emergency repair services for bypass pump stations and wastewater treatment systems to the supply of manufacturer-authorized OEM parts and components for branded systems such as Xylem Flygt pumps and Flowserve Pacific Boiler Feed Water Pumps. Most recent procurements are sole-source awards or single-vendor selections tied to proprietary equipment compatibility and manufacturer exclusivity, though at least one opportunity—Collier County's bypass pump maintenance contract—was solicited on a competitive basis through an Invitation to Bid. Collier County's Public Utilities Wastewater Division issued ITB 258523 on June 25, 2026, for bypass pump preventative maintenance, repair, and replacement services covering approximately 30+ fixed and portable pump stations, with bids due February 9, 2026; the contract, grant-funded through FEMA Public Assistance, carries an estimated annual value that historically averaged $45,000 but spiked to $14 million in 2022 following Hurricane Ian recovery.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida, where Hillsborough County, Collier County, the City of Holly Hill, and the City of Tampa have posted solicitations since mid-April 2026; Arizona activity appears through Tucson Water's annual requirements contract for lineshaft pump bowl assemblies, posted March 27, 2026, with pre-bid and bid deadlines in late 2025. Hillsborough County's sole-source procurement SS2600273, posted May 21, 2026, awards a five-year blanket purchase order to Xylem Water Solutions U.S.A., Inc. for Flygt pumps, OEM parts, and repair and warranty services valued at $16,656,100.00 with a May 29, 2026 close date for challenges. A second Hillsborough County sole-source award (26X01027, posted April 16, 2026) covers Pacific Boiler Feed Water Pump OEM parts from Flowserve Corporation for the McKay Bay Waste-to-Energy Facility, with no contract value disclosed. The City of Holly Hill's Notice of Intent to Sole Source (26PWSS09, posted April 13, 2026) covers Xylem Flygt OEM parts without a stated contract value. Tucson Water's annual requirements contract (260134, posted March 27, 2026) sought lineshaft pump bowl assemblies in 16 separate bid items for the Hayden Udall Water Treatment facility, anticipating 12 to 24 units annually with three contractors to be awarded per item; the procurement employed a delivered-price-plus-operating-cost evaluation methodology using a 15,000-hour life-cycle cost calculation.
