UNSPSC 40151712: Pump packings

UNSPSC 40151712 Pump packings is a Commodity code capturing pump repair, rebuild, and replacement services that state and local water utilities and wastewater authorities buy to maintain and restore centrifugal, submersible, and other pump systems across their treatment and distribution networks. Recent solicitations show work spanning emergency and routine motor and pump repairs, comprehensive rebuilds with performance testing and vibration analysis, permanent bypass pump installation and integration with existing force mains and wet wells, and full-service delivery including pick-up and return logistics, on-site removal and reinstallation, and post-work warranty. Issuing bodies are predominantly water districts, municipal water authorities, and county wastewater commissioners. West Basin Municipal Water District in Los Angeles County and Lowndes County Board of Commissioners in Georgia are recent buyers; the work involves both on-call service contracts with standing-offer structures and project-based installations under sealed-bid IBT notice types.

Recent activity concentrates in California and Georgia. West Basin Municipal Water District issued RFP RFPTH0143 for on-call pump and motor repairs, rebuilds, and replacement services across eight recycled water and pumping facilities in Los Angeles County, with proposals due October 1, 2026, at 2:00 PM, a $1,000,000 not-to-exceed contract over a two-year initial term, and preference points or price reductions of up to 10% available for SBEs, LBEs, and VOBEs. Lowndes County Board of Commissioners in Georgia issued IFB PE69200NONST2027000000053 for permanent bypass pump installation at 20 lift station sites with bids due September 1, 2026, at 1:00 PM, a mandatory pre-bid conference on August 21, 2026, and a 120-day completion schedule.
