UNSPSC 40151500: Pumps

UNSPSC 40151500 Pumps is a Class code covering the supply, installation, repair, and maintenance of industrial and municipal pumping equipment across diverse applications. State and local governments procure submersible pumps for groundwater and wastewater lift stations, centrifugal and positive-displacement pumps for water and wastewater treatment, trash and solids-handling pumps for emergency bypass and landfill operations, and specialized equipment such as booster pumps, chiller system pumps, and nitrogen-generator maintenance services. Recent solicitations reflect heavy demand from water and wastewater authorities, public works departments, and municipalities performing routine pump replacement, rehabilitation of lift-station infrastructure, and emergency response pumping. Issuing bodies span water management districts, municipal water utilities, county environmental departments, cities, town engineering offices, and independent water authorities in Florida, California, Georgia, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Utah, Maryland, and New Mexico. Repeat buyers include the Tohopekaliga Water Authority (multiple IFBs for lift-station equipment and related startup support), the City of Stamford Connecticut (multiple grinder-pump procurements), and West Basin Municipal Water District (on-call pump repair framework). Set-aside and preference activity is moderate: California Department of Transportation applies small-business and DVBE preferences on dewatering and boiler-service contracts; Orange County California uses local small business and disabled-veteran enterprise scoring; and West Basin offers SBE, LBE, and VOBE evaluation points. Florida Department of Agriculture applies Florida-vendor preference on pump purchases.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida, California, Connecticut, and Massachusetts. Representative procurements include the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services ITB for five Darley brush-truck pump units with a seal-bid deadline of October 15, 2026; West Basin Municipal Water District's RFP for on-call pump and motor repairs across eight recycled-water and pumping facilities with a $1 million not-to-exceed value and proposals due October 1, 2026; the City of Phoenix Water Services' five-year IFB for pump supply, repair, and parts (Aurora, Jacuzzi, Stranco brands) with responses due May 6, 2026 (contract effective August 1, 2026); California Department of Transportation's IFB for dewatering well-water pump removal, installation, and repair services across Los Angeles and Ventura Counties under a $484,000 ceiling with bid responses due August 25, 2026; and Tohopekaliga Water Authority's IFBs for lift-station equipment including pumps, control panels, and related components at multiple stations (responses due July 16, 2026). Smaller municipalities and special districts regularly solicit submersible pumps, sludge and grinder pumps, and equipment maintenance contracts under RFQs and ITBs with bid thresholds typically between $10,000 and $250,000. Prevailing-wage, bond, and insurance requirements are standard across the code.
