NIGP 22023: High Water Detection and Measuring Equipment

NIGP 22023 High Water Detection And Measuring Equipment, an Item code, encompasses pressure and temperature instrumentation, water meters, atmospheric monitoring sensors, and related detection and measurement apparatus state and local governments deploy across municipal water and wastewater systems. State and local buyers under this code procure pressure transmitters, pressure switches, gauges, temperature transmitters, thermowells, resistance temperature detectors, remote indicators, water meters with radio transmitters and cellular connectivity, gas detection sensors for confined spaces and process areas, and associated mounting hardware, power supplies, and calibration materials—all specified to meet AWWA, NFPA, and manufacturer standards. Issuing bodies include city water departments and public works agencies, county utilities and facilities management offices, independent school districts purchasing district-wide water treatment services, and special-purpose authorities such as convention centers. Recent activity shows repeat procurement from municipal water systems in Arizona, Texas, Georgia, and Florida, with Texas and Arizona departments leading in frequency and scope.

Representative recent opportunities span equipment supply and services across multiple geographies. The City of Phoenix Water Services Department is procuring pressure and temperature instrumentation equipment under a five-year IFB (26-0398) with offers due August 18, 2026, including pressure transmitters, temperature switches, diaphragm seals, and accessories from approved manufacturers (ABB, Ashcroft, Emerson, Honeywell, others) for municipal water and wastewater treatment; the City also solicited atmospheric monitoring instruments—fixed installations (IFB-27-0435, offers due September 4, 2026) to detect hydrogen sulfide, methane, chlorine, and carbon monoxide at lift stations and headworks.
