UNSPSC 47101533: Lift stations

UNSPSC 47101533 Lift stations (Commodity) describes wastewater and stormwater pumping infrastructure that state and local governments procure for new installations, rehabilitation of existing stations, associated control systems, and supporting equipment and services. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers contracting for complete station replacement (including wet wells, submersible pumps, force mains, electrical controls, and SCADA integration), rehabilitation and modernization of aging stations, duplex and triplex pump configurations, bypass pumping during construction, and specialized components such as grinder pumps, flow meters, valve vaults, and control panels. The code also captures preventive maintenance and inspection services for existing stations. Issuing bodies are predominantly municipalities and county governments managing wastewater collection systems, with occasional participation by special-purpose water authorities, school districts, and state agencies. Florida and Georgia lead in posting frequency, with significant recent activity in Texas, California, and scattered opportunities across Mississippi, Arizona, Illinois, North Carolina, and other states. A small number of sole-source procurements appear when a jurisdiction has standardized on proprietary equipment such as Wet Well Wizard aeration systems (Hillsborough County, Florida, estimated at $5.371 million over five years) or specific pump models.

Representative recent solicitations include the City of Daytona Beach, Florida issuing ITB 2637 for complete demolition and replacement of Lift Station #45 with two 14-horsepower Flygt submersible pumps, new force main piping, electrical and SCADA controls, and emergency generator (bids due May 21, 2026, now closed); the City of Waco, Texas requesting bids on Riverside Lift Station improvements under RFB 2026-025 with a $1.5 million engineering estimate and mandatory 40 percent general-contractor self-performance requirement (bids due August 12, 2026); Orange County, Florida issuing an IFB for the Wekiwa Springs Septic Tank Retrofit Phase 5A involving a 133-gallon-per-minute duplex pump station serving 63 homes with an estimated cost of $4.664 million (bids due January 15, 2026, now closed); Forsyth County, Georgia soliciting bids for Kentmere Lift Station modifications and force main design with 2,130 linear feet of 6-inch ceramic-epoxy-lined ductile iron pipe force main and 485 calendar days to substantial completion (bids due July 2, 2026); and Eagle Mountain City, Utah requesting proposals for Steeplechase Lift Station Upgrades with December 31, 2026 final completion deadline and city-furnished long-lead items including Flygt pumps and precast vault (proposals due October 16, 2026). Pricing ranges widely by scope—from $113,067 for a single drive-shaft replacement at Holly Hill's Water Treatment Plant to multi-million-dollar station rehabilitation and new-construction projects. Opportunities are active and sustained across jurisdictions, with no indication of concentration among repeat buyers beyond typical municipal and county water and wastewater departments.
