CPV codes for pumps, valves and industrial equipment

The divisions, codes and wording on this page follow the CPV 2008 vocabulary in Regulation (EC) No 213/2008.[1] Download the free starter list CSV to load every code into your alerts.

Descriptions follow the CPV 2008 vocabulary (Regulation (EC) No 213/2008).[1] They were cross-checked against the CPV dataset published by the EU Publications Office.[3] Always confirm against TED's CPV tool before relying on a code.[2]

1. Build two alert tiers. Tier A covers your exact product codes, such as 42122220 Sewage pumps. Tier B covers the parent code and the works or maintenance codes, such as 42000000, 45252000 and 50511000. Tier B is noisier, but it catches bundled packages.
2. Run the same codes on every portal: TED, Irish eTenders and UK Find a Tender. See our guides to TED, eTenders and UK tenders.
3. Read award notices, not just open tenders. The winning contractor on a 45252000 works contract will need pumps, valves and instruments. That contractor is your account.

Fictional example: A fictional instrumentation distributor alerts only on 38421000 Flow-measuring equipment and sees few notices. After adding 45252000 and 42996000, it finds several wastewater treatment works contracts where flow meters are inside a larger works package, and it adds the winning contractors to its account list. This example is fictional and only illustrates the method.

Demand Range turns tender and award notices into company-level account lists of buyers and winning contractors for industrial suppliers. Named contacts and outreach are separate scopes, not included by default.
