About NIGP 17508
NIGP 17508 Balances And Accessories is an Item code under which state and local governments procure precision calibration and measurement equipment, primarily laboratory balances and scales used in environmental monitoring, industrial safety compliance, and water infrastructure testing. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring microbalances for particulate-matter gravimetric analysis, digestion blocks for water-quality testing, and calibration services for industrial hygiene equipment and weigh-station scales. The issuing bodies span state departments (California Department of Industrial Relations, California Department of Veterans Affairs, Florida Department of Transportation), counties (Orange County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Lawrence, Fort Worth), reflecting demand across environmental agencies, transportation infrastructure, water utilities, and public health labs. The work involves both equipment procurement and specialized calibration or maintenance services, with contract terms ranging from one year to five years and values from under $100,000 to $750,000 over three years.
Recent geographic activity clusters in California (DIR calibration laboratory services, Santa Clara LIMS replacement, Fort Worth water-department digestion block) and Florida (Department of Transportation weigh-station scale maintenance across 50+ locations statewide). The California Department of Industrial Relations issued IFB S26DOSH005 on July 15, 2026, seeking a full-service calibration laboratory for NIST-traceable calibration of industrial safety and hygiene equipment with an estimated contract value of $750,000 over three years and bids due August 5, 2026.
