UNSPSC 40151517: Sewage pumps

UNSPSC 40151517 Sewage pumps, a Commodity code, encompasses the supply and repair of submersible and vertical turbine pumps for wastewater lift stations and treatment facilities. State and local governments purchase replacement pumps, pump assemblies with associated piping and controls, as well as ongoing repair, rebuild, and emergency response services for existing pump infrastructure across water reclamation facilities, treatment plants, and sewer lift stations. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code span city utilities departments (Tampa, Orlando, Daytona Beach, Sanford, Port Orange, Bainbridge), county utilities and environmental services (Volusia, Hillsborough, Fulton, Lowndes), school districts (Pinellas County Schools), municipal water districts (West Basin, North Texas), and specialized authorities (Simsbury Water Pollution Control Authority, Town of Enfield Department of Public Works). Volusia County appears as a repeat buyer, with multiple electric motor repair and pump servicing solicitations. The code captures both one-time equipment purchases and multi-year service contracts valued from under $500,000 to $16.6 million.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida (Volusia, Hillsborough, Seminole, Broward, Orange, Polk counties and multiple cities) and Georgia (Atlanta, Bainbridge, Augusta, Lowndes County), with secondary activity in Connecticut and scattered notices across Texas and New Mexico. Representative recent opportunities include Volusia County's ITB for electric motor repair services covering submersible pump motors at seven wastewater and nine water treatment facilities (due October 21, 2026); West Basin Municipal Water District's RFP for on-call pump and motor repairs at eight recycled water facilities in Los Angeles County with a $1,000,000 not-to-exceed ceiling and 10% SBE/LBE pricing incentives (proposals due October 1, 2026); the City of Orlando's IFB for lift station improvements across five stations valued at approximately $6,500,000 with substantial completion in 520 days (bids due April 30, 2026); and Hillsborough County's sole-source award to Xylem Water Solutions for Flygt pumps, parts, and repair services over five years at an estimated $16,656,100. Competitive procurements typically use ITB or RFP formats with 10–12 week timelines, require licensing (Florida Utility Contractor or equivalent), demand 3–5 years of relevant experience, and often specify local preferences or SBE/DBE/MBE incentives. Sole-source awards to manufacturer-authorized distributors (Xylem for Flygt, Gerber Pumps for DiscFlo, Pumpbiz for Flexpump) reflect infrastructure standardization and warranty/compliance requirements.
