NIGP 12005: Agitators, Fish Tank

NIGP 12005 Agitators, Fish Tank is an Item code under which state and local governments procure law enforcement and marine equipment, though recent solicitation activity shows minimal direct demand for fish-tank agitators themselves. The scope of work encompasses broader equipment categories: Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle, is establishing a master contract for law enforcement equipment available to thousands of governmental agencies nationwide, while Chatham County, Georgia sought to purchase marine outboard motors for patrol operations. The issuing-body mix includes state cooperative purchasing units (Sourcewell serving multiple participating entities across states and Canada), county governments (Chatham County, Georgia; Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima Counties in Washington), and higher education institutions, K-12 school districts, tribal governments, and nonprofit organizations within the Sourcewell network.

Recent activity shows concentration in the Pacific Northwest and Southeast. Sourcewell's RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment, posted May 12, 2026 with a response deadline of June 16, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. Central Time, targets multiple Washington counties and numerous additional jurisdictions across the United States and Canada through cooperative purchasing. Chatham County, Georgia's ITB 26-0038-4 for two new Mercury outboard motors, posted March 24, 2026 with bids due May 4, 2026, represents singular county marine-equipment procurement. The code shows limited recent transparency regarding budget values, set-asides, or incumbent vendors across both opportunities. Submission processes require vendor registration on proprietary platforms—Sourcewell's Procurement Portal for the cooperative opportunity and Chatham County's Bonfire portal for direct county bidding.
