NIGP 17527: Electrode Sensing Meters and Electrodes: Dissolved Oxygen, pH, Specific Ion, etc.

NIGP 17527 Electrode Sensing Meters and Electrodes: Dissolved Oxygen, pH, Specific Ion, Etc., an Item code, covers handheld dissolved oxygen meters, pressure probes, and related sensing equipment purchased by state and local governments for environmental monitoring, water quality testing, and emergency medical services applications. Recent solicitations show municipalities and counties buying discrete units or small quantities of specialized meters for operational use rather than large-scale procurement programs. Issuing bodies include cities (Houston, Austin, Bradenton), counties (Collier), and their operational departments—emergency medical services, water utilities, and energy centers. The code draws activity from municipalities and special-purpose water districts across multiple states rather than from a dominant buyer or repeat procurement pattern.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in Florida and Texas based on recent postings, though the source does not indicate a national distribution pattern. The City of Houston issued an IFB on August 31, 2026 for 40 YSI Pro20i Dissolved Oxygen Meters (manufacturer part number 607125) with a September 4, 2026 response deadline. The City of Austin released an IFQ on September 4, 2026 for a P48 Pressure Probe for LM6000 (General Electric part number 1797M98P01) due September 10, 2026, initially limited to certified SBE or M/WBE vendors. Collier County Emergency Medical Services posted a Quick Quote on October 6, 2026 for oxygen cascade system removal and installation across four county stations, due October 15, 2026, with all-inclusive lump-sum pricing and FOB destination terms. The City of Bradenton issued a Notice of Intent to Award to The Avanti Company for WRF level sensors and controllers on July 1, 2026, reserving discretionary authority to open competition if respondents demonstrate equivalent supply capability.
