NIGP 19095: Toluene

NIGP 19095 Toluene is an Item code that classifies chemical commodities and reagents used in municipal water and wastewater treatment operations. State and local governments procure toluene and related solvents primarily as process chemicals for industrial water treatment, laboratory analysis, and facility maintenance — though the recent procurement record shows municipal wastewater authorities also solicit integrated treatment systems that incorporate specialized chemical handling and dosing equipment as part of larger nutrient-removal projects. Issuing bodies under this code span municipal water departments, wastewater reclamation facilities, and public works agencies managing treatment infrastructure at the city and district level.

The City of Orem, Utah solicited a complete Phosphorus Control System for the Orem Water Reclamation Facility via RFP (PROJECTNO230904), with responses due October 16, 2026 through the State of Utah's BonFire portal. The system design includes chemical feed and storage systems, process equipment, instrumentation, and controls engineered to treat anaerobically digested sludge through controlled struvite precipitation; the scope encompasses equipment fabrication, factory testing, delivery, installation support, commissioning, operator training, and one-year warranty. The project is federally funded through an EPA grant and subject to Build America and Buy America Act compliance. The successful supplier will serve as a subcontractor to a general construction contractor anticipated in the fourth quarter of 2026, with equipment delivery required within six months of approval and liquidated damages assessed at $1,000 per day for delays. Recent activity in this code centers on Utah municipal water authorities, with limited visibility into procurement activity in other states or regions.
