I need to run a power cord through an existing concrete foundation. There
is a schedule 40 PVC 1 5/8" ID, 1 15/16" OD waterline embedded in the
concrete that has 2 90degree bends, they are standard 90deg corners close to
each end of a ~20' run. Is there any chance that a standard fish tape would
be able to be pushed through?

Yes.

Another way that could work is to vacuum a "rat tail string" through
the line first. A string is tied on, say a ball (?), the vacuum pulls
the "ball" and string out one side. Then pull the wire after you tape
it to the string.

"PVC 1 5/8" ID" would be easy....even using just the fish tape.
