UNSPSC 40151506: Hand pumps

UNSPSC 40151506 Hand pumps, a Commodity code, encompasses the procurement of portable pumps, pressure gauges, bypass pumps, and related pump components and repair services that state and local water utilities, counties, municipalities, and special districts deploy across water treatment, wastewater operations, and stormwater management infrastructure. Recent solicitations reveal two streams of activity: supply and maintenance of existing pump installations (including replacement parts, gauges, and repair services) and installation of new permanent bypass pumps at lift stations. State and local buyers under this code include county boards of commissioners, municipal water and wastewater departments, regional water districts, educational service districts, and county purchasing cooperatives. Issuing bodies reflect the distributed nature of water infrastructure — no single jurisdiction dominates the recent activity; instead, multiple water utilities and counties each solicit periodically for equipment and parts aligned with their operational cycles.

Geographic spread spans Texas (Educational Service District 564 portable equipment RFP, North Texas Municipal Water District bypass pump ITB, Fulton County Department of Watershed Management hose pump parts IFB), Arizona (City of Phoenix five-year pump supply and services contract IFB-26-0287 covering Aurora, Jacuzzi, and Stranco brands with response due May 6, 2026), Florida (Hillsborough County pressure gauges ITB-26-00392 requesting 200 Ashcroft units due September 21, 2026 at $65,148.80 project estimate), and Georgia (Lowndes County permanent bypass pump installation ITB with mandatory pre-bid August 21, 2026 and bid deadline September 1, 2026). The City of Phoenix opportunity is the largest and most prescriptive: a multi-department five-year pump parts and repair contract requiring 24-hour emergency service, 48-hour parts availability, and $5 million commercial general liability insurance. Smaller, one-time purchases dominate the remainder — Hillsborough County's 200 pressure gauges, Lowndes County's 20 permanent bypass pump installations, and Fulton County's Watson-Marlow Bredel hose pump parts round out recent secured activity.
