NIGP 22034: Logging Devices, Electronic (Long-Range Data Collection and Recording for Use at A Remote Location)

NIGP 22034 Logging Devices, Electronic (Long-Range Data Collection And Recording For Use At A Remote Location), an Item code, encompasses remote telemetry units, data loggers, and continuous monitoring equipment that state and local governments deploy for environmental compliance, utility asset management, and real-time system oversight. State and local agencies purchase these devices to collect, transmit, and record data from distributed field sites—water systems, air quality monitoring networks, utility infrastructure, and SCADA control points—where direct access is impractical or expensive. Recent solicitations show water utilities, environmental protection agencies, and municipal systems acquiring satellite-based transmitters, particle monitors, carbon monoxide analyzers, data loggers compatible with existing acquisition systems, and integrated remote telemetry units for pump stations and storage tanks. Issuing bodies span state environmental protection departments, county utilities and board offices, municipal water systems, and special districts; Texas Water Development Board, Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, City of Flowery Branch (Georgia), Pasco County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) appear as repeat purchasers of related infrastructure and monitoring equipment in the recent posting window. The code sees active procurement across the South and Midwest, with recent opportunities concentrated in Texas, Illinois, Florida, and Georgia.

Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Water Development Board's May 2026 IFB for thirty Ott HydroMet SatLink 3-Lite geostationary satellite transmitters with NOAA/NESDIS certification and GPS monitoring (bids due May 4, 2026); the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency's June 2026 RFQ for four trace-level carbon monoxide ambient air monitors meeting EPA certification standards and remote-login software with Modbus protocol (proposals due June 8, 2026); and the City of Flowery Branch's June 2026 RFP for SCADA system upgrade including remote telemetry units, cellular-based communications, and integrated monitoring across water system sites (proposals due June 30, 2026, with mandatory pre-bid meeting June 3, 2026). Earlier procurements include the Illinois EPA's March 2026 sole-source purchases of Agilaire 8872 data loggers for air monitoring sites and Teledyne T640 PM2.5 continuous monitors. These opportunities reflect strong current demand for compliance-grade remote monitoring hardware and software integration services across water and air quality regulatory portfolios.
