NIGP 27142: IV Drop Counters, Flowmeters and Regulators

NIGP 27142 IV Drop Counters, Flowmeters and Regulators is an Item code encompassing specialized flow measurement and regulation equipment that state and local governments procure for infrastructure and utility operations. The code covers magnetic flowmeters, drop counters, and related process instrumentation used in water systems, wastewater treatment, and reclamation facilities. Issuing bodies under this code include municipal water and utility departments operating critical infrastructure requiring precision flow monitoring and control equipment. Recent activity reflects narrow, specialized procurement by established utility operators rather than broad-based purchasing across multiple jurisdictional types.

The City of Orlando, Florida Water Reclamation Enterprises Department posted a sole source procurement (S26-0440) on May 13, 2026 for a 24" magnetic flowmeter at the Wetlands Pump Station, with a response deadline of May 20, 2026. Gilson Engineering Sales of Florida was identified as the sole source based on Siemens Industry, Inc. authorization as the exclusive representative for Siemens Process Instrumentation products in Florida. The procurement emphasizes compatibility with existing Siemens infrastructure and the specialized application knowledge required for pump station integration. Current activity under this code appears limited to Florida-based municipal utility solicitations, with single recent opportunities reflecting sporadic demand driven by specific infrastructure projects rather than ongoing volume purchasing.
