UNSPSC 40151509: Reciprocating pumps

UNSPSC 40151509 Reciprocating pumps, a Commodity code, captures spare parts, repair labor, installation, and rental services for pump equipment deployed across municipal water, wastewater, and stormwater infrastructure. State and local buyers under this code include cities, counties, special-purpose water districts, and municipal utilities procuring both goods and services to maintain or expand operational capacity at treatment facilities, pump stations, and lift stations. Recent opportunities show a mix of competitive sealed-bid procurements for equipment installation and service contracts, sole-source and standardization-based awards for OEM parts and authorized repair, and annual service agreements with multiple renewal options. Issuing bodies are predominantly Florida municipalities (Ocala, Tampa, Sanford, North Miami Beach, Port Orange, Palm Bay, Hillsborough County) and Georgia jurisdictions (Gwinnett County, Floyd County, Lowndes County, City of Atlanta), with Texas representation (Educational Service District 564, North Texas Municipal Water District). Hillsborough County and Gwinnett County appear as repeat buyers of bypass pumping and water-infrastructure services.

Recent solicitations span equipment procurement, installation, and services across multiple classes of pump types and duty cycles. The City of Ocala issued competitive ITBs for turnkey installation of centrifuge systems and rotary presses at water reclamation facilities (ITB WRS/260503, ITB WRS/260536), with mandatory pre-bid meetings and lump-sum pricing structures, requiring ten years of documented centrifuge or rotary-press design and installation experience. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners has solicited bypass pumping services on annual contracts twice in the recent window (ITB BL145-26 due October 23, 2026; ITB BL103-26 due July 10, 2026), requiring bidders to maintain multiple pump units by size and type, field five local personnel, and demonstrate five years' bypass-pumping experience, with pricing covering standby, operational, and emergency service tiers and covering pump sizes from 4-inch to 12-inch and larger. Hillsborough County conducted sole-source procurements for Flygt pump equipment and OEM parts from Xylem Water Solutions U.S.A., Inc. ($16.656 million over five years, estimated cost) and for water and wastewater parts and maintenance services from TSC Jacobs, Inc. ($4.934 million over five years), both justified by equipment standardization and OEM authorization across multiple treatment and pump-station facilities. Floyd County solicited removal and installation of vertical turbine pumps at lift stations (Bid #26-031 for 750 GPM Grundfos units; Bid #26-025 for 500 GPM units, both due September 21, 2026), with mandatory pre-bid and site visits. Hillsborough County issued a competitive ITB for contingency portable-pump rentals during hurricane season (ITB-26-00326, $5.589 million over five years, due July 31, 2026), requiring 4-inch and 6-inch trailer-mounted diesel pumps available June through November annually, with repair and standby rental pricing.
