Why would a factory supplied cord on a pump be any different than a pool light furnished with a cord?
Back to the earlier questions, if any receptacle or light in the pit was intended to have a disconnect ahead of it, they would be specifically addressed the way they are in 620.53.
620.55 would be addressing other hard wired equipment, maybe a unit heater for example.
BTW, why would a receptacle to serve a sump pump be any more of a hazard than the required receptacle in 620.24?
