UNSPSC 40151739: Reciprocating pump parts

Maintenance and repair parts for pumps that use reciprocating motion to move pump fluids

UNSPSC 40151739 Reciprocating pump parts, a Commodity code, encompasses replacement components and assemblies for reciprocating and gear pumps deployed across municipal water, wastewater, and utility operations—including diaphragm kits, manifold inlets and outlets, check kits, seals, O-rings, and specialized subcomponents for progressing cavity and gear-driven systems. State and local governments procure these parts primarily through RFQ channels to support routine maintenance, emergency repairs, and planned equipment lifecycle replacement at treatment facilities, lift stations, and pumping infrastructure. Issuing bodies span county utilities, municipal water and wastewater departments, and independent special-purpose districts; Hillsborough County, Florida and the City of Tampa emerge as standout repeat buyers in the recent opportunity set, each conducting multiple targeted RFQs for specific pump part line items. Geographic activity concentrates in Florida (Hillsborough County, City of Tampa, City of Tallahassee, Broward County) and scattered municipal water systems across Texas and other states, reflecting demand driven by aging infrastructure and routine operational maintenance cycles.

Recent solicitations illustrate the scope: the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife issued a sole-source notice in October 2026 for Aqua-Life electric fish pumps ($133,868.25) used at hatcheries for fish handling operations, demonstrating procurement of complete pump assemblies alongside parts; the City of Tampa Water Production Division posted multiple RFQs in August and June 2026 for specific Graco pump components—manifold outlets, inlet manifolds, diaphragm kits, and ball check kits—with compressed timelines reflecting urgent repair needs; and Hillsborough County conducted ITB procurement for Ashcroft pressure gauges ($65,148.80 estimated value) deployed across 700 pump stations for preventative maintenance and performance assessment. The code also captures broader maintenance-repair-operations (MRO) blanket purchase agreements, such as the City of Tucson's RFP for comprehensive MRO supplies where reciprocating pump parts represent a subset of the catalog, and multi-year on-call pump repair and rebuild services like West Basin Municipal Water District's RFPTH0143 for pump and motor repairs across eight recycled water facilities in Los Angeles County ($1 million not-to-exceed, response date October 1, 2026). Activity is steady but episodic, driven by maintenance schedules, equipment failure cycles, and capital improvement timelines rather than continuous standing demand.
