UNSPSC 40151580: Lubricator pump

A type of precision metering pump operating within rugged cast iron reservoirs which contain the lubricant to be pumped. Each pumping unit supplies a single point of lubrication. Lubricators may be furnished in single or multi feed units for any number of points of lubrication. They are available with various drive arrangements, for a broad range of lubricants, viscosities, and required line pressures.

UNSPSC 40151580 Lubricator pump is a Commodity code covering pump equipment and related parts, accessories, and services for water, wastewater, and stormwater infrastructure operations. State and local governments procure under this code primarily bypass pumping systems for emergency and routine maintenance, replacement pumps for treatment and lift stations, centrifuge and rotary press systems for biosolids dewatering, and OEM parts and service contracts for standardized pump fleets. Issuing bodies include water departments and utilities in municipalities, counties, and special districts—notably Gwinnett County (Georgia), Hillsborough County (Florida), the cities of Tampa, Ocala, Sanford, and Adairsville, and the City of Atlanta's Department of Watershed Management. A strong pattern of sole-source and standardization procurements reflects vendor lock-in on established pump platforms: Flygt (Xylem), Thompson Pump & Manufacturing, Flowserve, and Watson-Marlow dominate recent opportunities. Competitive procurements cluster around installation and retrofit work for specific pump types at individual facilities, while blanket purchase orders for OEM parts and services run five years with substantial contract values.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Georgia. Hillsborough County has issued major five-year sole-source awards to Xylem for Flygt pumps ($16.6 million) and TSC Jacobs for multivendor OEM parts and service ($4.9 million); the County also issued a five-year competitive ITB for hurricane-season portable pump rentals ($5.6 million). Gwinnett County (Georgia) posted bypass pumping services contracts in June and September 2026, each with annual renewable terms. Florida municipalities—Tampa, Ocala, Sanford, Port Orange, Adairsville (Georgia), and Palm Bay—have solicited individual replacement and installation projects via ITB and RFI, including centrifuge systems for biosolids treatment (Ocala WRF #3 and #2, ITB WRS/260503 and WRS/260536, mandatory pre-bid March 19, 2026, bid due April 7–8, 2026), a 75 HP backwash pump for Adairsville (ITB due November 3, 2026), bypass pumping for Lowndes County Georgia (20 lift stations, ITB due September 1, 2026), and routine parts procurement by Fulton County (Georgia) for Watson-Marlow hose pumps (IFB due July 31, 2026). The City of Atlanta Department of Watershed Management issued a pre-solicitation notice in May 2026 for a multi-step sealed-bid process covering nine pump classifications requiring full-service repair, maintenance, and parts supply.
