UNSPSC 40151718: Sludge pump spare parts

UNSPSC 40151718 Sludge pump spare parts (Commodity) encompasses replacement components and repair services for pumps used in wastewater treatment, sludge dewatering, and lift station operations. State and local governments procure under this code when sourcing grinder pumps, submersible sewage pumps, centrifugal pump components, and associated control systems for water and wastewater infrastructure. Recent solicitations show widespread demand for both equipment repairs and replacement parts across municipal water utilities, county wastewater systems, and specialized treatment facilities managing solids handling and dewatering processes.

The issuing-body mix spans county water resources departments, city utilities divisions, wastewater authorities, and independent water treatment facilities in Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Texas, Oregon, and Illinois. Hillsborough County, Florida appears as a repeat buyer, issuing multiple bids for centrifuge mobile sludge dewatering units, Flygt pump equipment and parts, and Sulzer grinder pumps over recent months. Cities of Daytona Beach, Orlando, Tampa, and Tarpon Springs in Florida, along with the City of Atlanta in Georgia, also conduct frequent procurement across pump repair, grinder pump supply, and lift station components. Representative recent opportunities include Hillsborough County's ITB2600312 for centrifuge mobile sludge dewatering unit equipment rental (five-year term, $6.623 million estimated value, due July 27, 2026); the City of Tarpon Springs' ITB 260169-B-AS for electric motor and pump repair services covering vertical, split case, and submersible pumps from multiple manufacturers (five-year term with two-year renewal option, three bids received by June 17, 2026); Hillsborough County's sole source procurement SS2600273 for Flygt pump equipment, OEM replacement parts, and Xylem labor services (five-year blanket purchase agreement, $16.656 million estimated value, due May 29, 2026); and the City of Atlanta's PE66062NONST2026000000049 prequalification and IFB for multi-group pump repair, maintenance, and parts replacement across nine pump classifications including vertical turbine, submersible, centrifugal, and chopper pumps (prequalification phase deadline May 29, 2026). Geographic concentration centers on Florida (Hillsborough, Pinellas, Volusia, Orange, Broward counties and multiple cities), with secondary activity in Georgia, Mississippi, and scattered Midwest and Western procurement. Sole source and single source awards to authorized OEM distributors (Xylem for Flygt, DXP Enterprises for proprietary equipment, Barney's Pumps for KSB) are common, reflecting equipment-specific lock-in and warranty requirements.
