UNSPSC 40151734: Pump baseplate

A precisely ground plate that acts as the foundation of a pump or pump assembly.

UNSPSC 40151734 Pump baseplate (Commodity) represents specialized equipment components and integrated pumping systems that state and local governments procure for wastewater treatment, water supply, aquatic facilities, and emergency response operations. Recent activity shows state and local buyers purchasing both replacement pump baseplates and complete pump assemblies—often as part of larger infrastructure maintenance and emergency preparedness contracts. The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife's sole-source acquisitions of Aqua-Life fish pumps, Hillsborough County's multi-million-dollar contracts for variable frequency drive systems and aeration equipment, and West Basin Municipal Water District's on-call pump repair services illustrate the scope: governments buy pump components and systems for lift stations, water recycling facilities, hatcheries, treatment plants, and emergency bypass operations. Issuing bodies span state fish and wildlife departments, county water and wastewater authorities, municipal water districts, and city water production divisions. Hillsborough County emerges as a repeat heavy buyer—posting multiple sole-source pump procurements within a compressed timeframe, including contracts for Flygt equipment valued at $16.6 million, variable frequency drives at $6.5 million, and Wet Well Wizard aeration systems at $5.4 million, alongside smaller RFQs for pressure gauges and individual component kits deployed across 700+ pump stations.

Activity clusters in Florida (Hillsborough County, West Basin in Los Angeles, Broward County, Tampa, Pinellas County) and Oregon (state fish and wildlife operations). Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife's notice of sole-source award to Magic Valley Heli-Arc & Manufacturing for Aqua-Life BP40 and BP60 electric fish pumps at $133,868.25 (S-63500-00018161, October 15, 2026 protest deadline); West Basin Municipal Water District's RFP for on-call pump and motor repair services at $1 million over two years across eight recycled-water facilities in Los Angeles County (RFPTH0143, October 1, 2026 deadline, supporting SBE/LBE/VOBE preferences); and Hillsborough County's multiple ITB and sole-source procurements for Ashcroft pressure gauges ($65,148.80 estimate, 200 units across 700+ pump stations), portable pump rentals ($5.6 million five-year contingency contract for hurricane-season emergency response), and sludge dewatering unit rentals ($6.6 million). Most solicitations employ ITB, RFQ, or sole-source notice formats; response windows typically span two to six weeks. Set-asides and preferences appear selectively—West Basin explicitly encourages SBE/LBE/VOBE participation with scoring or price reductions up to 10 percent—while most Hillsborough County procurements do not identify socioeconomic preferences.
