NIGP 06592: Water Tank Bodies

NIGP 06592 Water Tank Bodies, an Item code, covers the procurement, rehabilitation, inspection, and maintenance of above-ground water storage tanks and related infrastructure by state and local water utilities, municipalities, and special-purpose districts. State and local governments buy repair and recoating of existing storage tanks (interior and exterior coating system removal, surface preparation, weld seal repairs, foundation repairs, roof vent installation); new tank fabrication and installation (elevated and ground-level potable and non-potable storage); tank inspection and condition assessment with photographic documentation; and full-service maintenance contracts spanning washout, preventive maintenance, and periodic recoating. Recent solicitations also capture valve components (pressure relief assemblies, actuated control valves for SCADA integration) essential to tank operation and permit compliance, though the scope tilts heavily toward tank body rehabilitation and long-term maintenance agreements. Issuing bodies include city water departments (Meriden, Waycross, Roswell, Arlington, Richardson), county water authorities (Putnam County, Okaloosa County), regional water pollution control facilities (Manchester's Hockanum River WPCF), state procurement offices (Maine), and utility commissions (Broward County's wastewater operations, Orlando Utilities Commission). Repeat activity appears in Georgia (Waycross, Roswell) and Connecticut (Meriden, Manchester).

Recent opportunities span multiple states and project types. The City of Meriden, Connecticut posted ITB B027-10 for Merimere Water Tank Rehabilitation (response due October 14, 2026), covering a 1964-built 560,000-gallon tank with coating removal, weld repair, foundation work, and roof vents under EPA funding and Davis-Bacon prevailing wage. The Town of Manchester, Connecticut re-bid RFP 26/27-8 for sludge tank recoating (response due September 24, 2026), requiring high-performance coating for wastewater immersion and Connecticut prevailing wage compliance through February 2027. The City of Waycross, Georgia issued RFQ FY27-01 for long-term maintenance of seven elevated tanks totaling 3.75 million gallons (response due October 9, 2026), with qualification-based evaluation weighted to experience and organizational capacity; addendum 1 (issued September 10, 2026) removed cost-proposal scoring and reallocated points to contract requirements. Okaloosa County, Florida solicited design and construction of a new 750,000-gallon elevated storage tank at Shoal River Ranch (ITB WS 54-26, response due July 15, 2026), including ACIP pile foundation work, electrical systems, and AWWA D100-21 compliance. The State of Maine posted RFQ 17D26091800000000000049 for 1,750-gallon polyethylene tanks with elliptical legs (quotations due October 9, 2026), available to all Maine state agencies under a master agreement with a one-year warranty and optional four-year renewal through 2031.
