UNSPSC 40151574: Ejector pump

A pump that induces and releases the liquid as kinetic energy created by the pressure of ejecting water, air, or vapor compressed at high speed through the nozzle.

UNSPSC 40151574 Ejector pump (Commodity) covers portable and stationary pumping equipment that state and local governments procure for emergency response, wastewater treatment, water supply, and routine maintenance operations. Recent solicitations show counties and municipalities buying trailer-mounted diesel and electric pumps for hurricane contingency standby, bypass pumping services during water and wastewater infrastructure maintenance, deep well pump installation and removal, chemical sludge pumping stations, high service pump additions at treatment plants, and specialized equipment such as electromagnetic pumps and lineshaft bowl assemblies for potable water systems. Issuing bodies include county water resources departments, city utilities and watershed management divisions, water treatment authorities, and emergency management agencies across Florida, Georgia, Arizona, Texas, Oregon, Michigan, and California. A significant portion of activity clusters around multi-year contracts with incumbent vendors—Hillsborough County, for example, has posted multiple solicitations for Flygt pumps (Xylem), Gardner Denver Nash equipment, and portable pump rentals; Gwinnett County solicited bypass pumping services; and Collier County issued sole source notices for ProMinent metering pumps (TriNova) and Sensidyne gas detection equipment. The code also captures smaller, specialized procurements such as the City of Salem's Vaughan Chopper Pump sole source and Sarasota County's KSB pump renewals.

Geographic concentration is strongest in Florida—Hillsborough, Collier, and Pinellas counties account for the bulk of recent postings—with secondary activity in Georgia (Gwinnett, Atlanta, Cumming, Douglasville), Arizona (Tucson), Texas (TxDOT), and scattered single opportunities in Oregon, Michigan, and California. Most opportunities are multi-year agreements ranging from three to five years, often structured as blanket purchase orders or requirements contracts with annual pricing adjustments tied to the Consumer Price Index or manufacturer labor rates. Representative current solicitations include Hillsborough County's ITB2600326 for Hurricane Season Contingency Portable Pump Rentals (diesel 4-inch and 6-inch pumps, $5.589 million over five years, bids due July 31, 2026); Gwinnett County's PE77023NONST2026000000647 for Bypass Pumping Services (standby, operational, and emergency equipment with four renewal options, bids due July 10, 2026); and the City of Ocala's paired solicitations for centrifuge and rotary press installations at water reclamation facilities (mandatory pre-bid meetings, turnkey installations with ten-year experience requirements). Sole source and single source awards dominate the landscape, signaling strong incumbent leverage and manufacturer-specific infrastructure requirements that limit competitive entry.
