NIGP 10512: Ball Bearings and Parts

NIGP 10512 Ball Bearings and Parts, an Item code, covers the supply of individual bearing components, seal assemblies, and replacement parts for mechanical equipment and rotating machinery in state and local facilities. State and local governments procure under this code when purchasing discrete bearing units and subassemblies for water treatment plants, HVAC systems, pumps, motors, and general facility maintenance — typically through RFQ and ITB notices when sourcing specific components to support ongoing operations or emergency replacements. Issuing bodies include county utility agencies, county facilities management departments, and municipal public works divisions.

Recent activity spans Texas and California. West Travis County Public Utility Agency issued RFQ RFQRWIBALLVALVEPUMP120260902 in August 2026 for the purchase and installation of motor-operated ball valves at its Water Treatment Plant in Austin, with responses due September 2, 2026. San Bernardino County Project & Facilities Management posted ITB 6391 in May 2026 for parts and supplies supporting facility maintenance across over 500 line items including motors, pumps, and HVAC components, with a June 19, 2026 response deadline and a tentative July 1, 2026 contract start. The county applied a 5 percent local vendor preference for bidders with principal places of business within San Bernardino County boundaries and required bidders to submit pricing on a minimum of 20 items with F.O.B. destination delivery within 14 days of purchase order receipt.
