NIGP 05248: Mixed Media

NIGP 05248 Mixed Media, an Item code, encompasses filter media, cartridges, and related consumables for water treatment and similar industrial processes, as well as surplus equipment sales involving media-related assets. State and local governments purchase this code primarily for operational needs at public utilities and facilities management operations; recent solicitations show water treatment plants acquiring replacement filter media (anthracite, sand, and gravel) for multi-stage filtration systems, alongside occasional surplus disposals of media-handling equipment. Issuing bodies include county public utility agencies, county governments, and municipal library systems, with activity spanning both routine consumable procurement and asset liquidation workflows. West Travis County Public Utility Agency (WTCPUA) and Monroe County, Florida represent the jurisdictions appearing in recent activity, though the scope and frequency suggest this code serves a dispersed base of smaller local buyers rather than a concentrated set of repeat purchasers.

Geographic spread is currently dominated by Texas and Florida based on the most recent posted opportunities. Representative solicitations include WTCPUA's RFQ 202608MEDIAREPLACEMENT (posted August 5, 2026, due August 27, 2026) for water treatment plant filter media replacement at its Bee Cave facility—removal, disposal, and installation of anthracite, sand, and gravel support media across three Unit #3 filters—with sealed quote submission and public bid opening required; and Monroe County, Florida's ITB 639 (posted June 27, 2026, due July 22, 2026) for the sale of five Library Media Box Model 1500G surplus units across county library locations, with a combined estimated value of $161,939.96, conducted through the Bonfire electronic bidding platform. Site visits are strongly recommended for the WTCPUA work to verify dimensions and staging conditions, and qualified contractors must demonstrate prior experience with water treatment plant filter media replacement and compliance with safety and regulatory standards.
