UNSPSC 40151508: Mud pumps

UNSPSC 40151508 Mud pumps, a Commodity code, covers the supply, installation, service, and repair of specialized pumping equipment used in municipal water, wastewater, and stormwater infrastructure operations. State and local governments procure mud pumps and related services primarily for bypass pumping during emergency response or infrastructure maintenance, dewatering operations at treatment facilities, and equipment standardization across utility networks. Recent opportunities show substantial activity in bypass pumping services, centrifuge and rotary press installations at wastewater treatment plants, and parts procurement for manufacturer-specific equipment including Flygt, Xylem, Watson-Marlow, and DiscFlo pump systems.

Issuing bodies procuring under this code span water utilities, wastewater departments, and stormwater divisions across municipalities and counties. Hillsborough County (Florida) and Gwinnett County (Georgia) appear as repeat buyers, with Hillsborough posting sole-source awards to Xylem Water Solutions for Flygt equipment and services ($16.6 million over five years), and to TSC Jacobs for parts and maintenance across multiple vendors ($4.9 million over five years). The City of Tampa, City of Ocala, Floyd County (Georgia), Lowndes County (Georgia), and the City of Atlanta also show recent activity. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Florida (Tampa, Ocala, Sanford, Port Orange, Palm Bay, Hillsborough County, Pinellas County) and Georgia (Gwinnett County, Floyd County, Lowndes County, Atlanta), with activity also in Texas (North Texas Municipal Water District, Educational Service District 564). Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County's ITB BL145-26 for bypass pumping services on an annual contract, with bids due October 23, 2026, requiring minimum five years of bypass-pumping experience and five local personnel; the City of Ocala's ITB WRS/260503 for centrifuge installation at Water Reclamation Facility #3, with a mandatory pre-bid meeting on March 19, 2026 and bids due April 7, 2026; and Hillsborough County's ITB 26-00326 for hurricane-season portable pump rentals at an estimated $5.6 million over five years, with bids due July 31, 2026. Sole-source and standardization procurements dominate the code, reflecting the critical role of equipment compatibility and OEM certification in utility operations.
