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 is a Commodity-level code. State and local governments buy replacement components and OEM-compatible parts for existing pump installations under this code, grounded in operational maintenance and emergency response needs. Recent solicitations show activity concentrated in Florida's water and wastewater infrastructure sector, with issuing bodies spanning city water departments, county utilities, and transit authorities. The work is typically tied to maintaining proprietary pump systems — Milton Roy, Flygt, Godwin, Sulzer, and similar OEM equipment — where only authorized distributors or original equipment manufacturers can supply compliant parts and service.

Hillsborough County dominates recent activity, appearing across multiple sole-source procurements for pump parts and maintenance services worth $16.6 million (Flygt pumps), $7.6 million (mixed pumping and process equipment), and $1.46 million (Godwin diesel pump maintenance). The City of Tampa issued a single-source RFQ on July 16, 2026 (due July 21, 2026) for Milton Roy pump replacement parts and new pumps at its McKay Bay Waste-to-Energy Facility, with an estimated value of $40,000 and Hudson Pump & Equipment named as the intended sole-source contractor. The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife issued a sole-source notice on June 26, 2026 (protest deadline July 3, 2026) for an 8-inch fish pump system from Magic Valley Heli-Arc & Mfg., Inc. valued at $115,000. The City of Tampa also issued an intent to single-source Barber Vickery SyncroFlo pump systems, parts, and services on April 9, 2026 with a parts quote of $7,135 and hourly labor rates from $150 to $400 per hour. Activity skews heavily toward Florida — Hillsborough, Pinellas, and Broward counties — with secondary representation in Oregon, New Hampshire, Texas, and New Mexico, though most recent opportunities are tagged to this code without direct pump-soleplate specificity; the nominal code does not capture the full scope of pump component and system maintenance being procured. Pursuit here depends heavily on OEM authorization and exclusive distributor status, as sole-source designations dominate the market.
