UNSPSC 40151518: Sealless pumps

UNSPSC 40151518 Sealless pumps is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure sealless and sealed centrifugal pump equipment, replacement parts, service and repair, and installation for water treatment, wastewater conveyance, and biosolids dewatering operations. Recent solicitations show issuing bodies are primarily municipal water and wastewater utilities, county water resources departments, and special-purpose water districts, with significant activity concentrated in Florida and Georgia. Scope of work spans turnkey equipment installation with performance guarantees, emergency bypass and standby pumping services on annual contracts, OEM-certified parts and labor for existing installed equipment, and sole-source or single-source procurements for standardized pump lines (Flygt, DiscFlo, Flowserve, Thompson Pump, Xylem). Work includes biosolids dewatering systems (centrifuges and rotary presses achieving specified total solids output), vertical turbine pump replacement at lift stations, portable rental pumping for hurricane emergency response, and comprehensive multi-year parts and repair agreements with labor rates ranging from approximately $145 to $540 per hour depending on service classification and location.

Issuing bodies include city wastewater and water resources departments (Tampa, Port Orange, Ocala, Sanford, North Miami Beach, Palm Bay, Adairsville), county boards of commissioners and water resources departments (Gwinnett County, Floyd County, Hillsborough County, Lowndes County, Fulton County), and special districts (Educational Service District 564 in Texas). Hillsborough County and Gwinnett County appear as repeat buyers with multiple concurrent solicitations for bypass pumping services, parts, and equipment. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Florida and Georgia; representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County's ITB BL145-26 for bypass pumping services with bids due October 23, 2026 (pre-bid conference October 7, 2026), City of Ocala's ITB WRS/260503 for centrifuge installation at Water Reclamation Facility #3 with mandatory pre-bid meeting March 19, 2026 and bids due April 7, 2026, Floyd County's removal and installation of vertical turbine pumps (two separate ITBs, bids due September 21, 2026, mandatory pre-bid and site visit September 2, 2026), and Hillsborough County's ITB-26-00326 for portable pump rentals during hurricane season with bids due July 31, 2026 and estimated contract value of $5,589,125.00 over five years. Sole-source and single-source procurements dominate the recent record, with multiple notices of intent for Flygt (Xylem), DiscFlo, Flowserve, and Thompson Pump standardization; these single-source awards reflect established equipment standardization across municipal pump-station networks and wastewater infrastructure.
