NIGP 12042: Gauges, Marine

NIGP 12042 Gauges, Marine is an Item code representing instruments and measurement equipment for marine applications that state and local governments procure for public waterway infrastructure, marina operations, and boat-ramp management. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing marine gauges as components within broader infrastructure projects — specifically dock instrumentation, water-level monitoring, and environmental compliance equipment for marina redevelopment and boat-ramp improvements. County commissions and cooperative purchasing organizations (local government units serving multi-jurisdictional public entities) are the primary issuing bodies under this code. The work involves specification, procurement, and installation of gauges to support marine facility construction, repair, and operational readiness.

Clay County Board of County Commissioners in Florida posted an RFB on June 22, 2026 for Knights Marina & Lake Shore Boat Ramp Repair, Redevelopment and Improvements with a July 6, 2026 response date — a representative recent solicitation that encompasses gauge procurement and installation as part of marina construction scope. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative operating under Washington state law, posted RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026 for Law Enforcement Equipment (due June 16, 2026), which operates on a multi-jurisdictional cooperative purchasing model across participating entities in Washington, Minnesota, and other states — though this opportunity focuses on law enforcement rather than marine gauges specifically. Recent activity in this code concentrates in Florida and the Pacific Northwest (Washington, Minnesota). The source does not support identification of other recent standalone gauge solicitations or standout repeat buyers under this Item code.
