UNSPSC 40151582: Treadle pump

Foot-operated pump used for irrigation.

UNSPSC 40151582 Treadle pump, a Commodity code, does not reflect the actual scope of state and local procurement activity tagged under it. Recent opportunities show municipalities and special-purpose districts soliciting bypass pumping services, centrifuge and rotary press installations, portable pump rentals, submersible pump equipment and parts, and vertical turbine pump removal and replacement—all capital-class water and wastewater infrastructure work rather than treadle or hand-operated pumping devices. The issuing-body mix spans water departments, wastewater authorities, and utility districts across Florida and Georgia, with Hillsborough County (Tampa area), Gwinnett County (Atlanta area), and the City of Ocala appearing as repeat solicitors. Work is commonly bundled with installation, startup, and warranty obligations under turnkey or full-service arrangements.

Geographic activity clusters in Florida and Georgia. Florida procurement includes bypass pumping services (Gwinnett County near Atlanta, City of Tampa, Gwinnett County), centrifuge and rotary press installations (City of Ocala), permanent pump station retrofits (Lowndes County, Georgia), and five-year equipment-and-parts blanket purchase orders (Hillsborough County, $16.7 million for Flygt pumps; $4.9 million for multi-manufacturer parts through TSC Jacobs). Competitive opportunities include a five-year portable pump rental contract (Hillsborough County, estimated $5.6 million, ITB-26-00326, bids due July 31, 2026), bypass pumping services on annual contract with renewal options (Gwinnett County, ITB BL145-26, sealed bids due October 23, 2026 at 2:50 p.m., pre-bid conference October 7, 2026 via Microsoft Teams), and vertical turbine pump removal and installation (Floyd County, Georgia, two parallel ITBs due September 21, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. and 11:30 a.m., mandatory pre-bid and site visit September 2, 2026). Most water-infrastructure procurements require five or more years of documented experience, OSHA and equipment-specific certifications, and demonstrated capability across multiple pump classes or models; many are sole-source or standardization-based awards to incumbent OEM representatives (Xylem/Flygt, Flowserve, DiscFlo/Gerber Pumps International). The code shows little relevant recent activity; procurement under the nominal code title does not match the water-systems engineering and services work actually being acquired.
