NIGP 02570: Moisture Separators, Non-Refrigerated

NIGP 02570 Moisture Separators, Non-Refrigerated is an Item code for air dryers and moisture separation equipment that state and local governments procure for compressed air system maintenance across water treatment, wastewater, and general municipal operations. Recent solicitations show government buyers seeking both equipment units and ongoing parts-and-service support contracts covering Gardner Denver, Ingersoll Rand, Kaeser, Atlas Copco, Sullair, and other major compressor-dryer manufacturers. The scope spans reciprocating and rotary screw dryer models, with contracts typically structured as multi-year agreements with annual reporting obligations. Issuing bodies include city water and wastewater utilities, general municipal purchasing departments, and airport authorities—jurisdictions managing compressed air infrastructure at treatment facilities, maintenance yards, and operational sites.

Recent opportunities cluster in the Southwest and Southeast. The City of Phoenix issued IFB 260359 in September 2026 for a five-year air compressors, dryers, parts, and services contract covering seven water treatment and wastewater facilities, with response due June 24, 2026; the scope includes DBE-N compliance, E-Verify, and SAP OCI system integration requirements. The City of Tampa, Florida Purchasing Department issued RFQ 26-P-00274 in April 2026 for six Schulz ADS50 refrigerated air dryer units, with a ten-day delivery window and FOB Destination pricing, and a one-year award term. Both solicitations emphasize firm pricing, proof of insurance, and employment verification compliance. The Phoenix opportunity represents the larger contracting vehicle—multi-facility, multi-year, parts-and-service intensive—while Tampa reflects discrete equipment procurement typical of smaller municipal transactions.
