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 portable and permanent pumping equipment and associated rental, installation, and maintenance services procured by county and municipal utilities departments in support of water treatment, wastewater infrastructure, and emergency response operations. Recent state and local solicitations show consistent demand for trailer-mounted diesel and electric pumps (ranging from 2-inch to 6-inch capacity), deep well line-shaft and submersible pump installation and removal services, rotary presses and centrifuge systems for biosolids dewatering, and specialized metering and chemical dosing pumps for water chlorination and fluoridation compliance. Issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners (Hillsborough County, Gwinnett County, Collier County, Sarasota County), municipal water and wastewater utilities (City of Ocala, City of Tampa, City of Tucson, Douglasville-Douglas County Water and Sewer Authority, City of Cumming), and specialized districts (Long Beach Public Utilities, City of Atlanta Department of Watershed Management). Several Hillsborough County solicitations signal sustained capital investment in pump infrastructure; the county has posted sole-source procurements for Flygt pump equipment and Xylem service (estimated $16.6 million over five years, May 2026) and for Environmental Equipment Services metering and process equipment (estimated $7.6 million over five years, April 2026), alongside a competitive ITB for hurricane-season portable pump rentals valued at $5.6 million over five years (due July 31, 2026).

Geographic activity clusters in Florida (Hillsborough, Pinellas, Sarasota, Collier, Miami-Dade, and Marion counties), Georgia (Gwinnett County, Fulton County/Atlanta, and Douglas County), and Arizona (Tucson and Pima County), with secondary activity in Texas (TxDOT), California (Long Beach), Oregon (Salem), Michigan (Anchor Bay School District), and Wisconsin (University of Wisconsin-Madison). Representative recent competitive opportunities include Hillsborough County's ITB for portable pump rentals (ITB2600326, due July 31, 2026, $5.6 million five-year term), Gwinnett County's bypass pumping services annual contract with four renewal options (PE77023NONST2026000000647, due July 10, 2026), City of Ocala's centrifuge installation at WRF #3 (ITBWRS260503, due April 7, 2026, mandatory pre-bid March 19), and City of Atlanta's multi-group pump repair and maintenance services (PE66062NONST2026000000372, due May 29, 2026). Sole-source procurements dominate the pipeline, with Xylem (Flygt), Environmental Equipment Services, Barney's Pumps (KSB), ProMinent/TriNova, and PumpTech named as exclusive vendors in Florida, Georgia, Oregon, and other jurisdictions. Most competitive solicitations emphasize contractor experience (minimum five to ten years for specialized work), compliance with prevailing wage and OSHA standards, comprehensive insurance and bonding, and E-Verify enrollment; several water utilities require on-site pre-bid or pre-submission conferences as a condition of bid eligibility.
