NIGP 03189: Thermometers and Gauges

NIGP 03189 Thermometers and Gauges is an Item code under which state and local governments procure measurement and monitoring instruments for operational use across water utilities, law enforcement, and other public sector functions. Recent activity shows procurement of specialized diagnostic equipment: Gwinnett County's Department of Water Resources solicited a Fluke Power Logger Kit or approved equivalent via Informal Written Quote in March 2026, specifying a power data logger with CAT III 1000V and CAT IV 600V ratings, 6,000-ampere AC current capacity, and touchscreen display for electrical infrastructure monitoring. Issuing bodies across the code span county-level departments (water resources, purchasing) and cooperative purchasing vehicles (Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit) that aggregate demand across multiple jurisdictions and state lines. The cooperative purchasing model appears active, with Sourcewell managing procurement on behalf of participating entities across Washington state and other regions.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest. Gwinnett County in Georgia posted the power data logger solicitation with a March 17, 2026 response deadline, while Sourcewell, coordinating on behalf of multiple Washington counties including Yakima, Grant, and Franklin, solicited law enforcement equipment via RFP 061626 with a June 16, 2026 response date. The resulting Sourcewell contract was designed to serve thousands of governmental agencies, higher education institutions, K-12 school districts, and tribal governments across the United States and Canada. Responses to the Sourcewell RFP were required through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal, with inquiries directed to Mari Vielma at rfp@sourcewell-mn.gov or 888-894-1930.
