NIGP 07595: Valve Grinding Compounds

NIGP 07595 Valve Grinding Compounds, an Item code, describes abrasive compounds used to refine and finish valve surfaces in industrial maintenance and water treatment operations. State and local governments procure valve grinding compounds primarily for water treatment facilities, wastewater systems, and municipal utilities that maintain pumping and distribution infrastructure. The compounds are typically consumable supplies purchased in recurring volumes to support preventive maintenance, equipment repair, and operational upkeep across public water systems, treatment plants, and related utilities. Issuing bodies include water authorities, municipal utilities, and city public works and water departments that manage treatment and distribution networks.

Recent state and local procurement activity under this code is minimal. The most recent substantive opportunity on record is RFP 26-19705-YB from the City of Lubbock, Texas (posted July 8, 2026, due July 23, 2026), which solicits an electric valve actuator replacement for the North Water Treatment Plant rather than valve grinding compounds themselves; this RFP represents equipment acquisition rather than consumable grinding compound procurement. No additional recent state and local solicitations for valve grinding compounds appear in the available record. Activity under this Item code does not show sufficient recent volume to characterize geographic concentration or repeat-buyer patterns at this time.
