NIGP 12005: Agitators, Fish Tank

NIGP 12005 Agitators, Fish Tank is an Item code that state and local governments buy to equip fish transport and holding systems. The South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks IFB 26IFB19928 (due September 10, 2026) illustrates the concrete scope: a custom-built aluminum fish transport tank with three separate compartments, each with 250–260 gallons working capacity, outfitted with aerators, diffusers, oxygen flowmeters, insulated walls, and hinged lids for in-field deployment. State fish and wildlife agencies are the primary issuing bodies under this code, procuring transport tanks and associated aeration equipment to support fisheries management and hatchery operations.

The code sees limited recent posting activity. The single identifiable opportunity comes from South Dakota, with delivery to Sioux Falls by May 1, 2027, and award to the lowest responsive bidder within 45 days of opening. The Sourcewell RFP #061626 (posted May 12, 2026, due June 16, 2026) for law enforcement equipment represents a multi-jurisdiction cooperative vehicle but does not explicitly itemize fish-tank procurement within its scope; it serves as a platform for law enforcement and public-safety equipment more broadly across Washington state counties and participating entities nationwide. State-level fish and wildlife departments remain the primary market for this specialized equipment, with procurement occurring on a project basis tied to fisheries expansion, hatchery upgrades, or replacement of aging transport infrastructure.
