UNSPSC 40150000: Industrial pumps and compressors

UNSPSC 40150000 Industrial pumps and compressors is a Family code encompassing the repair, maintenance, replacement, and procurement of pumps and motors across municipal water, wastewater, and specialized industrial applications. State and local governments buy electric and diesel-driven pumps ranging from small portable units to large installed systems; replacement parts and components; repair and maintenance labor; and integrated systems combining pumping, dewatering, and variable-speed control. Recent solicitations show water districts, municipalities, counties, and wastewater authorities acquiring vertical turbine raw water pumps, trailer-mounted portable pumps for emergency response, grinder pumps for lift stations, sump pump motors, centrifuge dewatering equipment, and OEM parts inventories from authorized distributors. Work includes routine maintenance, emergency after-hours repair, rebuild and retrofit services, on-site installation, and long-term equipment supply agreements.

Issuing bodies across the code span state and county water agencies, municipal utilities, cities, specialized districts, and regional water authorities; Hillsborough County (Florida) and the City of Tampa appear as repeat purchasers across multiple recent opportunities. Geographic activity concentrates in Florida, Arizona, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Texas, Utah, New Hampshire, and Oregon. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife's sole-source procurement for Aqua-Life fish pumps at Cole M. Rivers Hatchery (notice of intent, October 2026); West Basin Municipal Water District's on-call pump and motor repair services RFP for Los Angeles County facilities, with SBE/LBE/VOBE preferences, proposal due October 2026, not-to-exceed $1 million over two years; Hillsborough County's sole-source procurement for Flygt pump equipment and Xylem repair services, estimated $16.7 million over five years, established in May 2026; and the City of Tempe's RFP for large-diameter valve maintenance and rehabilitation, with one-year initial term and four renewal options, due August 2026. Smaller opportunities include single-unit acquisitions such as air compressor replacement at Massachusetts Camp Edwards (ITB, estimated $30,000, August 2026) and the City of Dallas's CVP sump pump motor quote (May 2026). Sole-source and proprietary-equipment awards dominate the market, reflecting the specificity of installed pump fleets and OEM compatibility requirements that limit competition.
