UNSPSC 11131608: Shell articles

UNSPSC 11131608 Shell articles, a Commodity code, encompasses pump repair, maintenance, installation, and parts replacement services that state and local water and wastewater utilities procure to sustain critical infrastructure. The work involves full-service support across multiple pump families—vertical turbine, horizontal split case, submersible, centrifugal, vertical chopper, progressing cavity, piston positive displacement, and specialized proprietary models—including procurement of replacement parts, field inspection and disassembly, machining and welding to OEM standards, reassembly, startup, and detailed documentation with photographic evidence. Vendors typically must operate or access functional machine shops, possess field service equipment, and employ personnel certified in pump shaft alignment, welding, and confined-space entry, with all work subject to OSHA compliance and lock-out/tag-out procedures. Issuing bodies under this code are primarily municipal water and wastewater departments—in this case, the City of Atlanta Department of Watershed Management—which manage distributed pump systems across treatment facilities and distribution networks and solicit annual or multi-year contracts for responsive repair capacity rather than capital equipment procurement.

The City of Atlanta Department of Watershed Management (Fulton County, Georgia) posted a Pre-Advertisement Notice on May 8, 2026, for various pumps and parts repair and services, with a prequalification phase and subsequent Invitation for Bid and response deadline of May 29, 2026. The scope covers nine pump classifications and requires vendors to supply 90 percent of parts within 24 hours and the remaining 10 percent within 72 hours, provide one-year warranty coverage, and submit annual purchase reports. Vendors must provide their own tools, equipment, and safety equipment, with inspection costs and authorized travel reimbursement borne by the vendor. No set-aside designations or incumbent vendors are identified in the available documentation, and the contract award value is not disclosed.
