NIGP 14520: Cylinder, Tank, and Vat Brushes

NIGP 14520 Cylinder, Tank, and Vat Brushes is an Item code that designates specialized cleaning and maintenance brushes for cylindrical storage vessels, tanks, and vats used across state and local government operations. However, the recent state and local opportunities block does not contain solicitations specifically for brushes under this code. The single substantive procurement opportunity in the source—City of Fort Worth RFP 26-0187 for chemical storage tanks issued May 18, 2026 with proposals due June 11, 2026—addresses tank supply and manufacturing, not tank-cleaning brushes, and therefore falls outside the scope of NIGP 14520. A Sourcewell cooperative procurement (RFP 061626) for law enforcement equipment posted May 12, 2026 is similarly outside brush-related procurement, and a Williamson County Purchasing Department relocation notice posted July 14, 2026 contains no procurement scope.

No recent state and local contract opportunities under NIGP 14520 are present in the source material. Without documented solicitations, the geographic distribution, issuing-body mix, and representative recent work under this code cannot be characterized from current activity. This suggests the code may experience lower procurement velocity in the state and local market during the current period, or that opportunities under it are posted through channels not captured in the available records.
