NIGP 22530: Coolers, Electric (Water Fountains)

NIGP 22530, Coolers, Electric (Water Fountains), is an Item code under which state and local governments procure water dispensing equipment including chilled water fountains with bottle fillers, drinking fountains, coolers, and associated installation, repair, and maintenance services. Recent solicitations show concrete spending on bottled water delivery services with coolers, tankless purified and reverse-osmosis systems, filter replacement and maintenance labor across school and county facilities, playground drinking fountains as part of site furnishings packages, and parts inventory for specific product lines such as Oasis Versacooler and Elkay brand coolers. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code span large school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida), county governments (Glynn County, Georgia; Pinal County, Arizona; Broward County, Florida; San Bernardino County, California), cities (Tampa and Long Beach, California; Philadelphia), and smaller special-purpose districts (Gull Lake Community Schools, Michigan). Hillsborough County Public Schools appears as a repeat buyer, issuing separate ITBs for water fountain and cooler supply/installation, filter replacement services, and seeking primary and secondary awardees across multiple vendor categories.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida (Tampa, Hillsborough County schools, Broward County, and Glynn County) and California (Long Beach, San Bernardino County), with additional recent opportunities in Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Michigan.
