NIGP 17542: Glassware, Laboratory (Stock Only)

NIGP 17542 Glassware, Laboratory (Stock Only), an Item code, does not align with recent state and local procurement activity captured in the source. Tampa Bay Water, a regional water supply authority in Florida, posted an ITB for laboratory gas supply services at its Cypress Creek water treatment facility in Land O'Lakes, effective October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2031, with bids due August 11, 2026. This solicitation addresses consumable laboratory gases—a distinct commodity category separate from laboratory glassware stock. The scope covers gas supply services, including delivery schedules and purity standards for a five-year term, but specific gas types, volumes, and equipment requirements are not detailed in available materials.

The single recent opportunity under review originates from a special-purpose water authority rather than a state agency, county, city, or school district. Geographic activity in the recent-opportunities block is limited to Florida. No additional state or local solicitations for laboratory glassware appear in the source material, leaving the broader issuing-body mix and geographic spread across other jurisdictions unsupported by current data. The code may see limited or sporadic procurement activity at the state and local level, or recent purchasing may be occurring through cooperative vehicles or standing state contracts not captured in this posting record.
