UNSPSC 40151566: Booster pump

The booster pump is a positive displacement pump which operates by pulling air through a pair of meshing lobes not unlike a set of stretched gears. Air is trapped in pockets surrounding the lobes and carried from the intake side to the exhaust. The supercharger is driven directly from the engine's crankshaft via a belt or, in a two-stroke diesel engine, by spur gears.

UNSPSC 40151566 Booster pump, a Commodity code, covers the procurement and installation of centrifugal and positive-displacement pumps used across water systems, wastewater treatment, and emergency response operations at the state and local level. State and local buyers source both equipment and integrated pump-station systems—including controls, piping, electrical components, SCADA calibration, and related infrastructure—as standalone purchases or as components within larger water-infrastructure projects. Recent solicitations reflect heavy emphasis on Build America, Buy America Act compliance, Davis-Bacon requirements, and federal funding streams tied to the American Rescue Plan Act and State Revolving Funds, signaling that most activity flows through federally supported or grant-funded water system upgrades.

Issuing bodies span municipal water departments, county water authorities, and regional utility districts, with recent opportunities posted by the City of Tucson, City of Phoenix Water Services, Bryan County Board of Commissioners, Notla Water Authority, Town of Byromville, City of Gallup, Collier County, and Hillsborough County. Geographic concentration appears heaviest in Georgia, Florida, and Arizona, with scattered activity in New Mexico. Representative recent solicitations include the Town of Byromville, Georgia's Emerging Contaminants Improvements project (sealed bid, August 13, 2026 due date) seeking a booster pump with electrical integration and SCADA calibration; the City of Phoenix Water Services' five-year pump supply and services contract (IFB-26-0287, sealed offers due May 6, 2026) covering Aurora, Jacuzzi, and Stranco booster and centrifugal pumps with emergency 24-hour service availability; Bryan County Board of Commissioners' booster pump station construction (sealed proposals due March 31, 2026) for four water booster pumps at 3,680 gallons per minute each with generator and transformer; and the City of Tucson's well pump bowl assemblies contract (annual requirements with multi-year renewal options) covering lineshaft pump assemblies evaluated on both purchase price and calculated 15,000-hour operating cost. Contract terms typically run one to five years with renewal options, and qualifications often mandate utility contractor licensing, factory-trained service personnel, and extensive insurance coverage including general liability and workers' compensation.
