UNSPSC 20122847: Lift sub and plug

Short sub having lifting hook profile on the top which is used for lifting purpose with a thread in and out actions.

UNSPSC 20122847 Lift sub and plug, a Commodity code, encompasses submersible and dry-pit wastewater pump components and repair services that state and local governments procure to maintain sanitary sewer lift stations. Recent solicitations show that this code covers not only pump substitution and plugging materials but also the broader suite of pump maintenance, repair, and replacement work — including impeller and seal replacement, bearing service, motor rewind or replacement, valve repair, and emergency bypass pumping capability. Issuing bodies under this code include higher-education institutions, counties, and university purchasing departments; Florida Atlantic University and Palm Beach County have both posted lift station maintenance and repair solicitations in the past four months. The work is characterized by strict response-time requirements (two-hour maximum emergency response, four-hour temporary bypass pumping) and demanding qualifications including five years of wastewater pump repair experience, confined-space entry certification, and OSHA safety training.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida, where Palm Beach County issued an Invitation to Tender (ITB #2026ITB0003BL) due April 6, 2026, and Florida Atlantic University issued an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN #2026ITN0003BL) due April 10, 2026, both seeking lift station maintenance and repair services. A broader cooperative purchasing vehicle, Sourcewell's RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment posted May 12, 2026 with a June 16, 2026 response date, appears tagged to this code but centers on law enforcement equipment procurement across Washington state and multiple U.S. jurisdictions — a scope mismatch that suggests tagging error rather than relevant demand signal. The Florida solicitations are the principal decision-relevant recent opportunities, both emphasizing hourly labor pricing, unit pricing for repairs, preventive maintenance scheduling, and emergency response capabilities as core contract elements.
