UNSPSC 40151510: Water pumps

UNSPSC 40151510 Water pumps, a Commodity code, encompasses centrifugal, submersible, vertical turbine, and specialty pumps that state and local governments procure for water treatment, wastewater operations, emergency response, and infrastructure maintenance. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers actively purchasing new pumps for lift stations and treatment plants, replacement and rebuild services for existing equipment, rental and contingency bypass systems during emergencies or facility upgrades, and OEM parts and maintenance contracts. The issuing-body mix spans water utilities (municipal water departments and independent special districts), wastewater authorities, counties, cities, transit authorities, and special-purpose districts. Repeat buyers include Hillsborough County (Florida), County of Orange (California), Tohopekaliga Water Authority (Florida), cities of Tampa, Tucson, and Phoenix, and Eugene Water & Electric Board (Oregon). Work ranges from single-unit procurements—such as the City of Tampa's $150,000 single-source equipment and parts order from Xylem and the County of Orange's $67,566.76 submersible pump purchase—to multi-year service contracts valued at $5.6 million (Hillsborough County's five-year portable pump rentals) and sole-source maintenance agreements at $16.6 million (Hillsborough County's five-year Flygt equipment and services from Xylem).

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida (Tampa, Hillsborough County, Collier County, Tohopekaliga Water Authority, Sarasota County, North Miami Beach, Palm Bay) and California (Orange County, Phoenix, Tucson, Salt Lake City), with significant recent procurement in Georgia, Oregon, Connecticut, Texas, and New Mexico. Representative recent opportunities include Hillsborough County's July 2026 ITB for five-year contingency portable pump rentals (estimated $5,589,125, bids due July 31), County of Orange's April 2026 IFB for a Flygt submersible pump at Los Alamitos Pump Station ($67,566.76, bids due April 27), EWEB's July 2026 ITB for Hayden Bridge raw water intake pump rebuild and reinstallation in Springfield, Oregon (bids due July 14 with mandatory pre-bid June 25), and the City of Tarpon Springs' June 2026 ITB for electric motor and pump repair services for water and wastewater utilities (bids due June 17). Sole-source and single-source awards dominate the higher-value segment—Hillsborough County's Xylem Flygt and Xylem equipment procurements, Collier County's TriNova and Barney's Pumps awards, and Sarasota County's KSB procurement through Barney's Pumps—reflecting the proprietary nature of specialized municipal pump systems and OEM exclusivity. Competitive sealed bids and RFPs for equipment, repair, and maintenance services remain active across all geographies, with response dates typically 30–60 days from posting and preference opportunities available in California (OCLSB/DVBE five percent deduction), Georgia (DBE participation goals), and other jurisdictions offering SBE and MBE set-asides.
