NIGP 03115: Chilled Water Meter System

NIGP 03115 Chilled Water Meter System, an Item code, encompasses the supply, installation, maintenance, and treatment of chilled water distribution infrastructure, including meters, piping assemblies, chemical treatment, and associated monitoring systems that state and local governments procure to operate and protect central chilled water plants serving multiple facilities. The code sees active solicitation across county water authorities, municipal utilities, transit agencies, convention centers, school districts, and special-purpose districts, with work ranging from meter component exchange and flow measurement services to comprehensive water treatment programs designed to prevent corrosion, biological fouling, and scale deposition in chilled water loops serving cooling systems at government buildings, airports, courthouses, and transit facilities.

Solicitations under the code span Florida, Texas, North Carolina, and the Great Lakes region. Representative recent opportunities include Okaloosa County, Florida's ITB FM 76-26 for monthly inspection, testing, and chemical treatment of chilled water loops, heating closed loops, and evaporative cooling towers at eight county facilities (due September 16, 2026); the City of Ocala, Florida's ITB WRS260711 for non-stock large water meter exchange components including pipe spool pieces, flanges, and check valves (due May 4, 2026); the City of Charlotte's RFP for preventative maintenance and repair services on chiller and boiler equipment at CATS transit facilities (due October 15, 2026); Dallas Independent School District's RFP for district-wide water treatment services with SBE participation weight up to 20 points and a 30 percent aspirational SBE goal (due October 15, 2026); and the City of Lubbock, Texas's RFP 26-19615-YB for in-line water flow meter repair and replacement services across municipal water supply and irrigation wells (due May 28, 2026). Orlando Utilities Commission pre-qualified three Design-Build firms—Ajax Building Company, LLC, Kenyon & Partners, Inc., and S.I. Goldman Company, Inc.—for District Cooling chilled water projects on an as-needed basis under SOQ26 PR9347, reflecting the infrastructure upgrade and expansion activity in the code space.
