UNSPSC 40151701: Pump casings

UNSPSC 40151701 Pump casings, a Commodity code, addresses replacement and service parts for centrifugal, submersible, and specialized pump equipment installed in municipal water, wastewater, and stormwater infrastructure. State and local governments procure pump casings both as standalone components in repair-and-maintenance contracts and as integrated assemblies within larger pump system replacements, though recent solicitations show demand concentrating on full pump assemblies, repair services, and OEM-certified parts rather than casings in isolation. Issuing bodies span water and wastewater departments at city and county levels—Hillsborough County (Florida), City of Tucson (Arizona), City of Atlanta (Georgia), Forsyth County (Georgia), and Orange County (Florida) appear as repeat buyers establishing multi-year service agreements. Solicitations combine fixed-price procurement (lineshaft pump bowl assemblies, diesel trailer-mounted systems) with on-call task-order contracts where labor and materials are billed under rate schedules negotiated in advance. OEM-specific requirements are common: Xylem holds exclusive distribution for Flygt pumps across much of Florida, Watson Marlow (Bredel) pumps require certified distributors, and Gorman-Rupp equipment dominates fleet composition in Georgia county pump stations.

Recent activity spans the Southeast and Southwest. Hillsborough County issued a sole-source five-year blanket purchase agreement with Xylem Water Solutions for Flygt pumps and OEM parts at $16.656 million, with labor rates of $145 per hour shop and $181 per hour field. Orange County, Florida posted a $1.877 million RFP (due August 6, 2026) for engineering design of pump station upgrades including replacement of diesel-driven pumps with electric motors at 20,000 GPM capacity. The City of Atlanta issued a pre-advertisement notice for multi-step sealed-bid pump repair and maintenance across nine pump classifications, with emphasis on OEM-standard reconditioning and overnight parts availability. Forsyth County (Georgia) issued an on-call ITB (due April 16, 2026) covering pump testing, repair, and reconditioning across more than 400 assets ranging from 1.5 to 700 HP, with pricing submitted as labor-rate schedules and material markups. The Eastern Municipal Water District (California) posted an RFQ for on-call underground piping and facilities mechanical services with pump replacement as a component, requiring California state contractor licensing and prevailing-wage registration. Texas A&M Forest Service solicited twelve gas-powered trash pumps (Gorman-Rupp/Honda model locked, no substitutes) on a short-turnaround IFB (due July 2, 2026) for aerial fire retardant operations. The City of Tucson issued lineshaft pump bowl assembly solicitations (one annual, one multi-vendor installation-and-removal services) with detailed efficiency-based lifecycle cost evaluation methodologies and award to three contractors per bid item.
