NIGP 17551: Ion Exchange Materials: Liquids, Resins, etc.

NIGP 17551 Ion Exchange Materials: Liquids, Resins, Etc., an Item code, covers chemical treatment materials state and local governments procure for water treatment, industrial process systems, and environmental remediation — primarily ion exchange resins, liquid ion exchangers, and associated regeneration chemicals that remove dissolved ions, hardness, and contaminants from water supplies. State and local water utilities, environmental departments, treatment facilities, and occasionally school districts and municipal operations departments buy under this code when upgrading or maintaining ion exchange systems used in potable water production, wastewater handling, or specialized industrial applications. The work is highly granular — individual purchase orders and blanket standing-offer agreements for materials rather than turnkey system installation, though some solicitations may bundle supply with limited on-site support or training.

No recent state or local contract opportunities appear in the source material for this NIGP Item code, making current market activity and geographic concentration impossible to characterize from available procurement records.
