UNSPSC 40151733: Pump soleplate

A mounting plate onto which a vertical turbine pump VTP is attached to provide a foundation for installation and maintenance. It allows the removal of the pump without disturbing the foundation. Together with the pump discharge head base flange, it is machined to allow precision mating.

UNSPSC 40151733 Pump soleplate, a Commodity code, spans replacement parts and components for industrial and municipal pump systems. State and local governments procure under this code primarily through sole-source and proprietary-equipment notices tied to existing infrastructure; the recent activity shows water utilities, waste-to-energy facilities, and wastewater treatment operators buying OEM-matched parts to maintain compatibility with installed pump fleets rather than conducting open competitive solicitations for generic commodity items. The issuing bodies are predominantly special-purpose water districts, county utilities departments, and city water and wastewater divisions across Florida and the Pacific Northwest, with standout repeat buyers including Hillsborough County (variable frequency drive systems, Flygt pumps, Wet Well Wizard aerators), the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (Aqua-Life fish pumps), and the City of Tampa (Graco and Milton Roy pumps).

Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife sole-source award for Aqua-Life BP40 and BP60 electric fish pumps at Cole M. Rivers Hatchery (estimated $133,868.25 plus freight, October 2026 protest window), and the City of Tampa's single-source procurement for Milton Roy replacement parts and new pumps at McKay Bay Waste-to-Energy Facility through authorized distributor Hudson Pump & Equipment (estimated $40,000, July 2026). West Basin Municipal Water District issued an RFP for on-call pump and motor repairs, rebuilds, and replacement services across eight recycled water facilities in Los Angeles County (RFP RFPTH0143, proposals due October 1, 2026, $1,000,000 not-to-exceed over two years with one-year extension, with SBE/LBE/VOBE preference incentives up to 10 percent). Geographic activity concentrates in Florida (Hillsborough County, City of Tampa, Broward County, Pinellas County) and extends to Oregon, California, Texas, Kentucky, and New Hampshire; the code shows limited recent competitive activity, with most solicitations following proprietary-equipment justifications under state and local sole-source procurement policies.
