What the government is buying
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Memphis District (W07V ENDIST MEMPHIS) is soliciting bids for a diesel powered trash pump. Trash pumps are specialized centrifugal pumps designed to handle water containing solid debris such as leaves, twigs, sand, and small stones without clogging. Diesel-powered units are typically self-contained, portable systems used in construction dewatering, flood control, emergency response, and environmental remediation where electric power is unavailable or unreliable.
The Corps of Engineers frequently deploys this equipment for civil works projects including levee construction, flood damage reduction, and infrastructure maintenance throughout the Mississippi Valley Division's area of responsibility.

Who can bid
This opportunity is restricted to small business concerns under NAICS 333914. The Small Business Set-Aside - Total designation means no large business bids will be considered. To qualify, your business must meet the Small Business Administration's size standard for this NAICS code, which is generally based on average annual receipts or employee count depending on the specific industry classification.
You must be registered in SAM.gov (System for Award Management) and have an active registration at the time of award. If you are not currently SAM-registered, begin that process immediately, as verification can take several business days.
How to put together a competitive bid
For pumping equipment solicitations, focus on these elements:
Technical compliance: Verify your trash pump meets or exceeds the Corps' specified flow rate, head capacity, suction/discharge size, solids handling capability, and engine horsepower requirements. Diesel engines must typically comply with EPA emissions standards for the rated horsepower and application. Request the full solicitation to obtain exact specifications.
Commercial item or manufactured product: NAICS 333914 covers manufactured pumping equipment. If you are a distributor or dealer rather than manufacturer, confirm whether brand name or equal provisions apply, and document your supply chain relationships.
Pricing structure: Itemize the base unit, any accessories (hoses, fittings, fuel tanks, trailers/skids), freight to the designated delivery point, and warranty terms. Government buyers evaluate total evaluated price, including any evaluated factors for delivery or technical features.
Past performance: Be prepared to reference comparable deliveries to federal or commercial customers, particularly involving Corps of Engineers or other Defense Department entities.
Small business representation: Ensure your SAM.gov profile accurately reflects your small business status and any applicable socioeconomic certifications.
