UNSPSC 40151547: Deepwell pumps

UNSPSC 40151547 Deepwell pumps (Commodity) covers removal, installation, repair, and replacement services for deepwell and dewatering pump systems at wastewater treatment facilities, water infrastructure projects, and lift stations. State and local governments solicit under this code for labor-intensive pump maintenance and rehabilitation work—including motor replacement, control system repairs, wet well cleaning, bypass pumping operations, and equipment commissioning—rather than the equipment itself. Recent opportunities show mixed service delivery: some solicitations address emergency or permanent bypass pump installation at multiple lift station sites; others request specialized repair services for existing pump equipment across facilities; still others seek design and commissioning of remote-control systems for pump operation. Issuing bodies include county utilities departments (Seminole County, Lowndes County in Georgia, Fulton County in Georgia), municipal utilities commissions (Orlando Utilities Commission), city public works (City of Tarpon Springs, City of Wrens), state transportation departments (Caltrans), and state parks agencies (Texas Parks and Wildlife Department). Contractors bidding under this code typically must demonstrate three to eight years of prior municipal pump station or utility infrastructure experience, maintain emergency response capability (often 24-hour answering service with one-hour response), self-perform 51 percent or more of work, and hold state utility contractor licenses and certifications where required.

Geographic activity spans California, Florida, and Georgia, with the highest recent concentration in Florida and Georgia. Representative recent opportunities include Caltrans IFB 07A6506 (dewatering well pump removal, installation, and repair across Los Angeles and Ventura Counties, bids due October 29, 2026); Seminole County IFB CC710026HSMA (wastewater pump station maintenance and refurbishment, bids due August 5, 2026); Lowndes County sealed bid PE69200NONST2027000000053 (permanent bypass pump installation at 20 lift stations, bids due September 1, 2026 with mandatory pre-bid August 21); Orlando Utilities Commission RFQ PR9486 (RF-based remote control system for two water pump locations, quotations due September 24, 2026); and City of Tarpon Springs ITB 260169-B-AS (electric motor and pump repair services, bids due June 17, 2026, with three bids received). Contract structures vary from single task awards to multi-year master service agreements with work-order issuance and optional renewal periods. Initial terms range from one to five years; Seminole County and other recurring maintenance contracts include options for renewal and reserve the right to make multiple awards or continue month-to-month. M/WBE participation is encouraged in Florida and Georgia procurements.
