NIGP 93663: Pumps, Vertical, Maintenance and Repair

NIGP 93663 Pumps, Vertical, Maintenance and Repair — an Item code — encompasses on-call and project-based repair, rebuild, installation, and replacement services for vertical turbine pumps and associated motors at water treatment plants, pump stations, and wastewater reclamation facilities. State and local governments are actively procuring these services across competitive and sole-source vehicles, with issuing bodies including municipal water districts, county utilities departments, cities, and school districts primarily in California, Florida, and Georgia.

Recent opportunities span routine on-call contracts, discrete installation projects, and specialized equipment maintenance. West Basin Municipal Water District (California) issued RFP RFPTH0143 on October 5, 2026, for on-call pump and motor repairs across eight recycled water facilities, with a two-year term capped at $1,000,000 and response deadline of October 1, 2026; the RFP encourages SBE, LBE, and VOBE participation with up to 10% price preference and requires five years' motor repair experience, California Department of Industrial Relations Public Works Contractor Registration, and 18-month warranties on all parts and labor. Macon Water Authority (Georgia) issued an IFB for installation of two 1000 HP reservoir vertical turbine motors at the Amerson Water Treatment Plant on October 2, 2026, with bids due November 17, 2026 and a mandatory pre-bid meeting on November 3, 2026; the contract requires 51% self-performance, laser shaft alignment, vibration analysis, and encourages local and MBE participation under DBE requirements. The City of Oviedo (Florida) posted an ITB for as-needed pump and motor repair services in September 2026 with a March 2026 deadline (likely a dating error in the source), requiring 15 years' Florida electrical contractor registration, factory authorization from Peerless Pump, 24-hour emergency response capability, and a three-year initial term with two one-year renewal options. Floyd County Board of Commissioners (Georgia) issued two concurrent bids in August 2026 for removal and installation of vertical turbine pumps at separate stations (750 GPM at Morgan Dairy Road, 500 GPM at Burnett Ferry Road), both due September 21, 2026, with mandatory site visits on September 2, 2026, and no bond requirements. Hillsborough County (Florida) awarded two sole-source contracts: one to TSC Jacobs, Inc. for water and wastewater parts and repair services over five years at $4.93 million, and another to Xylem Water Solutions U.S.A., Inc. for Flygt pumps and OEM parts over five years at $16.66 million, both justified under OEM authorization and equipment standardization rationales. The City of Waco (Texas) solicited installation of a 600 HP vertical turbine pump system at Mount Carmel Water Treatment Plant under IFB 2026-026, bids due August 6, 2026, requiring 51% general contractor self-performance and 212-day completion with $2,000/day liquidated damages. Geographic concentration is visible in Florida (West Basin, Oviedo, Sanford, Hillsborough County), Georgia (Macon, Floyd County, Atlanta), and Texas (Waco, Austin), with scattered activity in California and New Mexico. Pricing in competitive procurements typically fixes labor and materials costs plus modest markups (5–10%), with contract terms running one to five years and performance bonds or certificates of liability insurance standard across issuing bodies. Most opportunities emphasize local presence, equipment-specific certifications, rapid emergency response (often 24 hours or less), and warranty coverage of 12–18 months on parts and labor.
