UNSPSC 40151558: Screw Pumps

UNSPSC 40151558 Screw Pumps, a Commodity code, encompasses the supply, installation, repair, and maintenance of positive-displacement and centrifugal pump systems used in water, wastewater, and stormwater infrastructure—though recent state and local solicitations reveal that activity under this code extends well beyond screw pumps alone to include centrifuges, rotary presses, vertical turbine pumps, submersible pumps, bypass pumping services, and OEM parts and labor for standardized equipment lines. State and local buyers include municipal water and wastewater departments, county boards of commissioners, special districts, and independent school systems. Issuing bodies range from small municipalities (Adairsville, Georgia; Oviedo, Florida) to large metropolitan water authorities (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners; Hillsborough County; City of Tampa; City of Atlanta Department of Watershed Management). Many jurisdictions pursue sole-source procurements to maintain standardization on existing equipment lines—particularly Flygt pumps (Xylem Water Solutions), Flowserve, and Thompson Pump products—to avoid costly redesigns, maintain permit compliance, and streamline spare-parts inventory and maintenance operations. Competitive procurements focus on bypass pumping services, turn-key equipment installation, replacement parts, and repair and maintenance contracts on annual or multi-year terms.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida (Oviedo, Tampa, North Miami Beach, Port Orange, Sanford, Ocala, Palm Bay, Hillsborough County) and Georgia (Gwinnett County, Floyd County, Lowndes County, Fulton County/Atlanta), with secondary activity in Texas (Educational Service District 564). Representative solicitations include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' competitive sealed bids for bypass pumping services on an annual contract with four one-year renewal options, bids due October 23, 2026 (ITB BL145-26); the City of Ocala Water Resources Department's invitational bids for turnkey centrifuge installation at Water Reclamation Facility #3, bids due April 7, 2026, with mandatory pre-bid meeting March 19, 2026 (ITB WRS/260503); and Hillsborough County's sole-source award to Xylem Water Solutions for Flygt pumps, OEM parts, and labor services over five years at an estimated $16.66 million. Bypass pumping and wastewater equipment installation contracts are active in Georgia; Parts and OEM service procurements are prevalent across Florida wastewater departments; portable pump rentals for hurricane-season contingency are solicited in Hillsborough County; and multi-vendor pump-repair and maintenance contracts are under development in Atlanta. The code shows steady, diversified procurement activity driven by aging water infrastructure, regulatory compliance, and standardization-driven sole-source awards to authorized OEM representatives.
