UNSPSC 40151565: Macerator pump

A type of pump designed to empty holding tanks. Includes a bronze cutter to grind waste down to small particle size. By grinding down the particles, it makes it possible to eject them (pump out) through the discharge nozzle of the pump.

UNSPSC 40151565 Macerator pump is a Commodity code that covers spare parts, accessories, service, repair, and installation of macerator and related positive-displacement pump equipment used in wastewater treatment, water reclamation, and stormwater operations. State and local governments purchase complete pump units, OEM-certified replacement parts, bypass pumping services, and field repair labor under this code. Recent solicitations show municipalities procuring macerator and similar solids-handling pumps for biosolids dewatering, wastewater infrastructure rehabilitation, and emergency contingency operations. The issuing bodies are predominantly water utilities and wastewater departments within cities and counties, with significant activity from state and regional water authorities. Sole-source and standardization procurements dominate the recent opportunities, reflecting the specialized and manufacturer-dependent nature of the equipment; competitive bids also occur for bypass services and component replacements. Cities of Tampa, Port Orange, Palm Bay, Sanford, and Ocala in Florida, Gwinnett County and Floyd County in Georgia, Hillsborough County in Florida, and the City of Atlanta in Georgia are repeat buyers. Educational Service District 564 in Texas and Fulton County in Georgia also show recent activity.

Activity clusters in Florida and Georgia, with secondary presence in Texas. Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County's ITB BL145-26 for bypass pumping services (sealed bids due October 23, 2026, with pre-bid October 7, 2026) covering standby, operational, and emergency bypass equipment with diesel and electric pump options from 4-inch to 12-inch sizes; the City of Ocala's ITB WRS/260503 for turnkey centrifuge installation at Water Reclamation Facility #3 (mandatory pre-bid meeting March 19, 2026, bids due April 7, 2026); Hillsborough County's five-year sole-source award to Xylem Water Solutions U.S.A., Inc. for Flygt pumps and OEM parts at an estimated cost of $16.656 million; and Hillsborough County's ITB-26-00326 for hurricane-season portable pump rentals (bids due July 31, 2026) with an estimated five-year contract value of $5.589 million. Sole-source notices for Flygt and DiscFlo pumps indicate standardization-driven procurement is common; cities justify single-source awards on cost avoidance, spare-parts inventory streamlining, and regulatory compliance grounds.
