UNSPSC 40151557: Rotating piston pumps

UNSPSC 40151557 Rotating piston pumps is a Commodity code that captures equipment and services for deep well pumping systems and emergency power and fluid-handling equipment deployed in disaster response and water utility operations. State and local governments solicit under this code primarily for installation, removal, and standby services on submersible and line-shaft pump systems used in municipal water operations, and for pumping and power-generation equipment staged for rapid deployment during declared disasters, severe weather, pandemics, and other critical incidents. Issuing bodies include counties (Collier County, Florida), municipal water utilities (City of Tucson), and subordinate emergency management divisions coordinating regional disaster response. The work spans equipment procurement and labor-intensive field services—mobilization, installation, removal, 24/7 on-call maintenance, emergency response within prescribed timeframes, and participation in annual training exercises.

Recent opportunities are concentrated in the Southwest and Southeast. The City of Tucson Water Department issued RFP No. 250034 on February 26, 2026, for installation and removal services on deep well line-shaft and submersible motor pumps up to fourteen inches in diameter and eight hundred feet in depth across Tucson and Pima County, with proposals due November 6, 2024, and evaluation weighted toward qualifications and experience (40%), method of approach (35%), and price (25%). Collier County Board of County Commissioners Procurement Services Division issued RFP Solicitation No. 25-8416 on February 11, 2026, to establish a contractor pool for major incident standby services including pumping systems and power generation (10 kW to 5 MW), with a pre-proposal conference on February 25, 2026, proposals due March 18, 2026, a five-year initial term with one five-year renewal option, and historical annual spending of approximately $1.2 million. Both solicitations require extensive insurance, domestic preference compliance, federal and state regulatory adherence, and rapid deployment or response capability.
