UNSPSC 40151528: Oscillating pumps

UNSPSC 40151528 Oscillating pumps is a Commodity code encompassing spare parts, accessories, repair services, and equipment replacement for specialized pump systems deployed in water, wastewater, and stormwater infrastructure. State and local governments buying under this code procure bypass pumping equipment and services for emergency response, portable pump rentals for seasonal contingency, replacement pumps and dewatering systems for treatment facilities, OEM-certified parts and labor, and standardized pump equipment to maintain operational compliance with environmental permits and system reliability. Issuing bodies include water and wastewater utilities within county departments, municipal water resources divisions, and special-purpose water authorities—principally in Florida and Georgia, with established repeat buyers in Hillsborough County and Gwinnett County. Sole-source and standardization procurements dominate recent activity, reflecting the critical infrastructure role and manufacturer-specific servicing requirements that drive most opportunities under this code.

Representative recent solicitations show the procurement patterns. Gwinnett County Department of Water Resources issued ITB BL145-26 for annual bypass pumping services with four renewal options, bids due October 23, 2026, requiring five years of bypass pumping experience, equipment ranging from 4-inch to 12-inch pumps at 25 HP to over 250 HP, daily/weekly/monthly pricing, and local personnel for installation and operation. The City of Ocala Water Resources Department conducted two mandatory-pre-bid ITBs in March–April 2026 for centrifuge installation at WRF #3 (ITB WRS/260503, bids due April 7, 2026) and rotary press procurement at WRF #2 (ITB WRS/260536, bids due April 8, 2026), each requiring ten years of OEM design-and-installation experience and three prior similar projects. Hillsborough County awarded a five-year sole-source contract to Xylem Water Solutions for Flygt pump equipment, OEM replacement parts, and labor at an estimated $16,656,100.00 (sole-source notice May 21–29, 2026). Portable pump rentals also drive activity: Hillsborough County's ITB-26-00326 for contingency trailer-mounted diesel-driven portable pumps during hurricane season spans five years at an estimated $5,589,125.00, with delivery within 45 days and 24-hour repair response. Georgia activity includes Floyd County's removal and installation of vertical turbine pumps at two pump stations (bids due September 21, 2026) and Lowndes County's permanent bypass pump installation at 20 lift station sites (bids due September 1, 2026, mandatory pre-bid August 21). Florida remains the primary market, with multiple sole-source standardization procurements by Tampa, Port Orange, and Palm Bay tied to Flygt, Xylem, and DiscFlo manufacturer ecosystems, while Georgia county water authorities and the City of Atlanta Department of Watershed Management represent the secondary geographic concentration.
