UNSPSC 40151554: Ram pumps

UNSPSC 40151554 Ram pumps, a Commodity code, encompasses portable and stationary pumping equipment that state and local governments procure for emergency response, wastewater treatment, water supply augmentation, and specialized industrial applications. The recent opportunities show heavy activity in contingency rental of diesel-powered portable pumps for hurricane season deployment, bypass pumping services for water and wastewater infrastructure maintenance, deep well pump installation and removal, and specialized equipment purchases tied to treatment facility upgrades. Issuing bodies span county commissions (Hillsborough, Gwinnett, Collier, Sarasota), municipal utilities and water departments (Tampa, Miami Beach, Ocala, Tucson, Cumming, Douglasville), school districts (Anchor Bay), and transit or special-purpose authorities. Hillsborough County emerges as a repeat buyer, appearing in multiple solicitations for pump equipment and rental services across its water resources operations.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida and Georgia, with secondary presence in Arizona, Michigan, Oregon, Texas, and coastal drought-prone regions. Representative opportunities include Hillsborough County's ITB for hurricane season portable pump rentals ($5.59 million over five years, due July 31, 2026) requiring 4-inch and 6-inch diesel pumps with standby and active emergency rates; Gwinnett County's competitive sealed bid for bypass pumping services on an annual contract with four renewal options (due July 10, 2026), requiring self-priming diesel and electric pumps, submersible units, and generators with 24/7 operational capability; and the City of Ocala's turnkey solicitations for centrifuge and rotary press installations at wastewater treatment facilities (February through April 2026), both requiring specialized high-solids dewatering systems with OEM performance guarantees. Sole source procurements dominate the code's activity—Hillsborough County's five-year Flygt pump and service agreement valued at $16.66 million, Collier County's procurement for ProMinent metering pumps and fluoride analyzers, Sarasota County's KSB pump parts and repair contract, and the City of Tampa's Gardner Denver Nash pump services—indicating that brand-locked equipment and OEM-exclusive maintenance relationships drive significant purchasing patterns.
