UNSPSC 40151562: Worm pumps

UNSPSC 40151562 Worm pumps (Commodity) covers spare parts, service, repair, and bypass pumping operations for pump equipment across water, wastewater, and stormwater infrastructure. State and local procurement under this code reflects a mix of capital equipment replacement, maintenance contracts, and emergency-response services rather than worm pump sales alone. Issuing bodies include municipal water and wastewater departments, county water resources authorities, special districts, and utilities in Florida and Georgia. Recent activity shows a pattern of sole-source and standardization procurements, particularly for manufacturer-specific parts and OEM-authorized repair labor, alongside competitive bids for bypass pumping services and equipment installation. The City of Tampa Wastewater Department, Hillsborough County Water Resources, the City of Ocala Water Resources Department, and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners are repeat buyers in the recent block.

Geographic concentration appears strongest in Florida and Georgia, with recent opportunities spanning Tampa, Ocala, Port Orange, Palm Bay, Sanford, North Miami Beach, and Adairsville (Florida); Valdosta and Rome (Georgia); and the greater Atlanta area. Representative solicitations include Gwinnett County's ITB BL145-26 for bypass pumping services with equipment and labor across multiple pump sizes (4-inch to 12-inch, 25 HP to over 250 HP diesel and electric) and personnel requirements, bids due October 23, 2026; the City of Ocala's ITB WRS/260503 for turnkey centrifuge installation at Water Reclamation Facility #3 with a mandatory pre-bid on March 19, 2026 and bid deadline April 7, 2026; and Hillsborough County's five-year sole-source award to Xylem Water Solutions USA for Flygt pumps, OEM parts, and repair services at an estimated cost of $16,656,100. Sole-source and limited-competition procurements dominate the block, reflecting standardization decisions and original-equipment-manufacturer (OEM) certification requirements that narrow eligible vendors.
