Thompson Pump and Manufacturing Company, a leading manufacturer of portable bypass and dewatering pumps, announced it has been awarded cooperative purchasing contracts from the North Carolina Sheriffs’ Association (NCSA) and the Virginia Sheriffs’ Association (VSA) (Bid Award #20-01-0802). Each of these agreements is effective for one year. These cooperative purchasing programs enable local government agencies to bypass the bidding process to procure and standardize their pump fleet with Thompson Pumps.
Thompson Pump is part of multiple national and local purchasing co-operative contracts for direct purchase options, as well as state contracts.
In both North Carolina and Virginia, Thompson is offering three of its 6” pump models. In addition to being the pumps most often provided to municipalities, all three base models feature Thompson Pump’s Enviroprime System®. Their ability to self-prime and re-prime automatically makes them low maintenance and, most important, prevents wastewater from discharging onto the ground – commonly known as blow-by. The pumps are portable and feature powerful Final Tier 4 diesel engines to meet current EPA emission standards.
