NIGP 22045: Pressure Controllers, Indicators, and Recorders

NIGP 22045 Pressure Controllers, Indicators, and Recorders, an Item code, covers industrial pressure measurement, monitoring, and control equipment that state and local governments procure for wastewater systems, water distribution infrastructure, and facilities maintenance. Recent solicitations show that state and local buyers are purchasing pressure switches, digital control panels, SCADA system components including pressure sensors and telemetry devices, Murphy Controllers for pump stations, and associated calibration and repair services. Issuing bodies include municipal water and wastewater utilities (City of Tampa, City of Gallup), county public works and sheriff departments (Orange County, Riverside County), and special-purpose water authorities. The work spans both commodity supply—discrete pressure switches and front panels—and integrated systems work, where pressure controllers serve as part of larger supervisory control and data acquisition upgrades for water system modernization.

Activity concentrates in Florida, California, and the Southwest. Recent representative solicitations include the City of Tampa's ITB for wastewater inventory panels and pressure switches (due August 6, 2026), where the scope covers 20 front panel units, 2 pressure switches, and 8 process meters with a one-year term and two option years; the City of Gallup's RFP for a comprehensive SCADA System Upgrade (due December 18, 2025) covering pressure monitoring at 46 water system locations with fiber optic and cellular-backup communication; Orange County's IFB for cleaning and calibration of TSI PortaCount respirator fit testers (due May 28, 2026, with contract effective October 19, 2026) structured as a three-year initial term with two option years; and Orange County Public Works' IFB for Murphy Controller service and parts (due February 3, 2026, with a five-year term and $800,000 not-to-exceed value). Small local business set-asides and local vendor preferences appear in multiple Orange County and Gallup solicitations.
