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 (Commodity) encompasses repair, replacement, parts supply, and installation services for centrifugal, chopper, and environmental pumps serving water and wastewater treatment systems across state and local jurisdictions. State and local buyers under this code include municipal water districts, city water services departments, county wastewater authorities, and regional water supply agencies. The work being solicited ranges from on-call repair and rebuild services with emergency response requirements to parts supply and five-year managed contracts covering multiple pump manufacturers, as well as permanent installation of bypass and booster pump stations at treatment facilities and lift stations. Recent opportunities reflect demand for qualified technicians with experience in motor and pump repair, ability to maintain 24-hour emergency availability in some cases, and expertise in specific manufacturer equipment such as Aurora, Jacuzzi, Stranco, Seepex, and Vaughan pumps.

Recent activity clusters in California, Georgia, Florida, and Arizona. West Basin Municipal Water District (Los Angeles County, California) posted an RFP for on-call pump and motor repairs across eight recycled water and pumping facilities, with a $1,000,000 not-to-exceed budget over a two-year initial term and response due October 1, 2026; the District offered SBE, LBE, and VOBE incentives of up to 10 percent. The City of Phoenix Water Services released an IFB for a five-year pump supply and services contract covering Aurora, Jacuzzi, and Stranco equipment with response due May 6, 2026. Additional opportunities include Collier County, Florida's single-source notice for Vaughan centrifugal, chopper, and conditioning pumps (contract term October 2026–September 2029); Lowndes County Board of Commissioners (Georgia) requesting sealed bids for permanent bypass pump installation at 20 lift stations with mandatory pre-bid attendance and September 1, 2026 deadline; Fulton County Department of Watershed Management (Georgia) bidding hose pump parts for Watson-Marlow Bredel equipment; and smaller procurements from Notla Water Authority (Georgia) for booster pump station installation and the City of Gallup (New Mexico) for a single trailer-mounted diesel pump system. Federal funding sources including GEFA and American Rescue Plan grants drive several Georgia and Florida opportunities, often triggering prevailing-wage, Buy America, and DBE compliance requirements.
