UNSPSC 40151502: Vacuum pumps

UNSPSC 40151502 Vacuum pumps is a Commodity code that covers pumping equipment and systems for industrial, municipal, and institutional applications. Recent state and local solicitations under this code include boiler feed pumps, lift station bypass pumps, lineshaft pump bowl assemblies for potable water systems, and steam condensate system repair services. The issuing bodies span municipal water districts (North Texas Municipal Water District), state corrections departments (Illinois Department of Corrections), county facilities departments (County of Santa Clara), cities (Tucson, Sanford), and county emergency management divisions (Collier County). Work ranges from specialized equipment procurement with detailed performance specifications to as-needed repair and maintenance contracts with prevailing-wage requirements.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas (North Texas Municipal Water District lift station bypass pump, IFB due July 14, 2026; Tucson Water lineshaft pump bowl assemblies, annual requirements contract; State of Texas pump and motors procurement), Florida (Sanford single-source OEM parts and repair for Aquatech equipment through April 21, 2026; Collier County emergency standby services RFP including pumping systems, proposals due March 18, 2026), Illinois (IDOC boiler tanks and pumps for Sheridan Correctional Center, bids due May 18, 2026), and California (County of Santa Clara as-needed steam and condensate systems repairs ITB, estimated $5.4 million, bids due June 15, 2026). The Santa Clara contract exemplifies the scale and complexity seen in municipal infrastructure maintenance, requiring bid bonds of 10% and prevailing wages; the Tucson procurement demonstrates the technical depth required, evaluating pump efficiency across 15,000-hour operating lifecycles and planning to award three contractors per item.
