NIGP 17547: Hydrometers and Pyconometers, Glass, Lab

NIGP 17547 Hydrometers and Pyconometers, Glass, Lab is an Item code covering precision liquid-measurement instrumentation and density-measurement devices used in laboratory and field settings by state and local public bodies. Based on recent solicitations, state and local governments procure water-measurement sensors, flow controllers, and related sensing equipment under this code — particularly instrumentation for water reclamation facilities, municipal water systems, and environmental monitoring applications. The City of Bradenton, Florida, represents the primary recent buyer activity, sourcing WRF (Water Reclamation Facility) level sensors and controllers through a sole-source Notice of Intent to Award issued in July 2026. Issuing bodies for this code include municipal water and wastewater authorities, city procurement offices, and special-purpose water district administrators responsible for infrastructure instrumentation.

The City of Bradenton's July 2026 procurement for WRF level sensors and controllers through The Avanti Company — based on McCrometer, Inc.'s exclusive authorized representation agreement covering Florida, Alabama, and Georgia — is the only recent state and local opportunity identified under this code. The Notice of Intent to Award (solicitation 26038NT), posted July 1, 2026, with responses due July 1, 2026 at 10:00 a.m., reserved the right to cancel the sole-source designation and open a competitive solicitation if respondents demonstrated capability to supply equivalent products. No contract value or term was specified. Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast, with the Bradenton procurement representing water infrastructure modernization in Florida. The code shows limited recent activity in state and local procurement databases overall.
