UNSPSC 40151721: Water pump spare parts

UNSPSC 40151721 Water pump spare parts (Commodity) covers repair parts, replacement components, and maintenance supplies for pumps installed in water and wastewater treatment systems. State and local governments procure under this code when sourcing OEM-certified parts for vertical turbine pumps, horizontal split-case pumps, submersible units, centrifugal systems, and specialized equipment such as diffused aeration components. The work spans both routine maintenance inventory and emergency replacements required to keep operational water, reclaimed-water, and wastewater infrastructure running. Issuing bodies include city water and wastewater utilities, county water resources departments, municipal water authorities, and specialized water treatment districts. Prominent recent buyers include the City of Tampa, Hillsborough County Water Resources (Florida), the City of Atlanta Department of Watershed Management, and smaller municipal utilities in Georgia, Texas, Arizona, and Oregon. A significant portion of activity involves sole-source and single-source procurements tied to proprietary equipment—Xylem (Flygt brand), Bredel (Watson Marlow), ProMinent, and KSB pumps anchor much of the recent spend, reflecting the reality that replacement parts often lock municipalities into incumbent suppliers once equipment is installed.

Recent opportunities cluster in Florida, Georgia, and the Pacific Northwest. The City of Tampa issued an intent to single source SANITAIRE diffused aeration equipment and replacement parts from Xylem Water Solutions USA, Inc. (estimated $150,000, response due July 16, 2026). Hillsborough County awarded a five-year sole-source blanket purchase for Flygt pumps, OEM parts, and repair labor from Xylem Water Solutions U.S.A., Inc. (estimated $16.656 million, sole-source notice May 21, 2026). The City of Atlanta Department of Watershed Management posted a pre-advertisement notice for comprehensive pump repair, maintenance, installation, and parts replacement across nine pump classifications (pre-solicitation conference forthcoming, pre-bid notice May 8, 2026). Sarasota County issued a sole-source procurement for KSB pumps, parts, and service through Barney's Pumps, Inc. (responses due February 4, 2026). Collier County and Hillsborough County (separate from the Flygt contract) each conducted sole-source procurements for proprietary equipment and parts bundles totaling $7.6 million and $6.6 million respectively, reflecting the scale of parts spend once treatment facilities are built out. Competitive opportunities in the code remain limited; most recent activity is restricted to incumbents or sole-source designations justified by proprietary manufacturer relationships and existing system dependencies.
