UNSPSC 40151560: Sliding vane pumps

UNSPSC 40151560 Sliding vane pumps (Commodity) covers spare parts, service and repair, and equipment rental for specialized pump systems deployed in municipal water, wastewater, and stormwater operations. State and local governments procure under this code primarily through sole-source awards to original equipment manufacturers and authorized distributors, but also through competitive bids for bypass pumping services, portable pump rentals, and equipment installation. Issuing bodies include water utilities, wastewater departments, county departments of watershed management, and regional water authorities. Recent solicitations show a mix of small targeted buys for specific pump models and multi-year blanket purchase agreements worth millions of dollars, with repeat buyers including Hillsborough County (Florida), Gwinnett County (Georgia), and the City of Tampa.

Recent activity spans Florida, Georgia, and Texas. Hillsborough County has posted sole-source notices for Flygt pumps and OEM parts from Xylem Water Solutions USA, Inc. ($16.6 million over five years, May 2026) and for water and wastewater parts and maintenance services from TSC Jacobs, Inc. ($4.9 million over five years, July 2026). The City of Tampa issued sole-source notices for Flygt submersible pumps (August 2026) and for Thompson Pump spare parts and service (May 2026, due date May 19, 2026).
