UNSPSC 40151715: Pump idlers

UNSPSC 40151715 Pump idlers, a Commodity code, spans replacement components and repair services for electric and submersible pumps across municipal water reclamation, wastewater treatment, and lift-station infrastructure, with state and local buyers actively sourcing idler parts, motor assemblies, and full repair and rebuild capacity under on-call and project-specific contracts.

State and local procurement under this code draws from water districts, municipal water utilities, county departments of watershed management, school districts operating lift stations, and county departments of public works. West Basin Municipal Water District in Los Angeles County, the City of Atlanta Department of Watershed Management in Fulton County, Georgia, and Hillsborough County in Florida each posted on-call or standing repair agreements covering multiple facilities and hundreds of thousands in estimated value. School districts including Pinellas County, Florida and Klein Independent School District in Texas have solicited pump replacement and mechanical services for site-specific lift-station upgrades. Geographic activity concentrates in California (West Basin), Georgia (Atlanta and surrounding Fulton County), and Florida (Hillsborough, Orange, and Pinellas Counties), with additional recent solicitation activity in Texas (West Travis County Public Utility Agency for vertical turbine motor replacement and raw water pump procurement). The mix includes specialized equipment-specific sole-source awards—Hillsborough County's five-year Flygt pump and Xylem repair contract at $16,656,100 and parallel five-year Watson-Marlow parts agreement at $4,934,870 through TSC Jacobs—alongside competitive repair and supply RFQs and ITBs. Eligibility often turns on manufacturer certification, in-house machine-shop capability, OSHA compliance, confined-space entry certification, and ability to meet 24- to 72-hour parts-delivery windows. SBE, LBE, and VOBE participation incentives appear in water-district on-call RFPs. Recent representative opportunities include West Basin Municipal Water District's October 1, 2026 RFP for on-call pump and motor repair and replacement (RFPTH0143, up to $1,000,000 over two years with 10-percent set-aside incentives for qualified small and veteran firms), West Travis County Public Utility Agency's September 2, 2026 RFQ for a replacement 200 horsepower vertical turbine pump motor (RFQTRANSFERPUMP2REFURBISH20260813), and the City of Atlanta Department of Watershed Management's multi-step sealed-bid prequalification and IFB for nine pump-type classifications (PE66062NONST2026000000372, May 29, 2026 prequalification close). Lowndes County Board of Commissioners in Valdosta, Georgia sought permanent bypass pump installation at 20 lift-station sites under ITB with September 1, 2026 bid due. Service-delivery models range from fixed-price on-call contracts with per-call markups (West Basin) to sole-source OEM-certified parts and labor agreements (Hillsborough County's Xylem and TSC Jacobs contracts) to project-award competitive bids for single replacements or upgrade scopes.
