UNSPSC 40151522: Reverse osmosis pumps

UNSPSC 40151522 Reverse osmosis pumps is a Commodity code that covers bypass pumping services, submersible and vertical turbine pump equipment, centrifuge and rotary press systems for biosolids dewatering, portable pump rentals, and OEM-authorized parts and repair services for standardized pump installations at water, wastewater, and reclaimed-water facilities. State and local water agencies—primarily municipal water departments, county water resources and watershed management departments, wastewater treatment authorities, and special-purpose water districts—are the principal buyers, with repeat solicitation activity from Hillsborough County, Gwinnett County, and the City of Tampa across multiple pump-equipment categories and bypass-service contracts.

Recent activity clusters around three procurement patterns: turnkey installation contracts for centrifuge and rotary press dewatering systems (City of Ocala ITB WRS/260503 for centrifuge installation at Water Reclamation Facility #3, due April 7, 2026, and ITB WRS/260536 for rotary press at WRF #2, due May 14, 2026); competitive and sole-source procurements for bypass pumping services and equipment rentals (Gwinnett County ITB BL145-26 annual bypass pumping contract, bids due October 23, 2026; Hillsborough County ITB-26-00326 hurricane-season portable pump rentals estimated at $5,589,125 over five years, bids due July 31, 2026); and standardization-driven sole-source awards for OEM-authorized Flygt and Xylem submersible pump products and services (Hillsborough County sole-source five-year Xylem Flygt contract estimated at $16,656,100, City of Tampa single-source Flygt parts and services, City of Port Orange sole-source Xylem Flygt pumps estimated at $75,000). Geographic concentration is heaviest in Florida (Hillsborough, Pinellas, Marion, Brevard, Osceola Counties and Tampa, Ocala, Sanford, Port Orange, Palm Bay municipalities) and Georgia (Gwinnett, Floyd, and Lowndes Counties, City of Atlanta), with dispersed activity across Texas and other states. Bypass pumping and portable rental contracts routinely demand five-plus years of documented field experience, multiple equipment units in various sizes and configurations, local crew availability, and insurance minimums of $500,000 to $2,000,000; turnkey installation work requires ten years' experience, OSHA certification, and performance/payment bonds, with mandatory pre-bid meetings common across Florida municipalities.
