NIGP 12039: Fish Tanks, Holding and Transport

NIGP 12039 Fish Tanks, Holding and Transport, an Item code, procures specialized aluminum tanks for holding and transporting fish across state and local agencies. State and local governments use this code to acquire equipment for fisheries management, wildlife transport, and aquatic animal handling operations. The scope spans custom-built transport tanks with integrated aeration systems, compartmented designs for species separation, and durable construction meeting specific operational and environmental requirements. South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks represents the primary issuing body visible in recent activity, soliciting specialized transport equipment for fisheries management operations.

Recent opportunities show limited but highly specific solicitation activity. South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks posted IFB 26IFB19928 on August 19, 2026, seeking a single SEFMA fish transport tank with response due September 10, 2026 and delivery required by May 1, 2027—the tank specified 5052 grade aluminum construction with three parallel compartments holding 250–260 gallons each, integrated DC 12-V aerators, ceramic diffusers, and oxygen flowmeters, with delivery to Sioux Falls. A separate cooperative purchasing vehicle, Sourcewell RFP #061626 posted May 12, 2026, covers Law Enforcement Equipment for participating entities across Washington state (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima counties) and jurisdictions nationwide, though this solicitation encompasses a broader equipment scope beyond fish tanks alone. Activity under this code appears concentrated in state wildlife and fisheries agencies rather than distributed across municipalities or school districts.
