NIGP 98157: Pumps and Pump Accessory Rental or Lease

NIGP 98157 Pumps and Pump Accessory Rental or Lease, an Item code, covers temporary and emergency deployment of pumping equipment across water and wastewater infrastructure, dewatering operations, and disaster response. State and local governments soliciting under this code are renting trailer-mounted and stationary bypass pumps, portable emergency pumps, and related accessories for gravity sewer system maintenance, lift station support, large excavation dewatering, process unit support at treatment facilities, and hurricane or disaster-season contingency response. The issuing bodies span municipal water and wastewater utilities (Charlotte Water, Sanford, Lubbock), county emergency management and flood-control functions (Hillsborough County, Dallas County), and statewide emergency management procurement offices acting on behalf of state agencies (Texas Division of Emergency Management through the Comptroller of Public Accounts). Equipment specifications emphasize trailer-mounted diesel-driven centrifugal pumps with 6-inch discharge and solids-handling capacity, sound attenuation for hurricane-season and urban deployment, 24-hour on-call maintenance and replacement capability, and FOB Destination delivery with full fuel tanks ready for immediate operation.
