NIGP 28591: Valves, Electro Pneumatic

NIGP 28591 Valves, Electro Pneumatic is an Item code encompassing detector check valves, power valve operators, valve equipment and replacement parts, and valve maintenance services that state and local governments procure primarily for water, wastewater, and irrigation system operations. Recent solicitations show water districts, counties, and special districts purchasing detector check valves for supply delivery, power valve operators and nut replacers for vehicle-mounted water system maintenance equipment, REXA actuator replacement and repair parts for wastewater treatment plants, and preventive and corrective maintenance services on installed valve systems. Issuing bodies include large metropolitan water districts, county water and wastewater utilities, and municipal public utilities departments, with Alameda County Water District, Collier County, and Seminole County appearing as recent active buyers. The code also captures broader MRO valve supplies and components purchased through consolidated electrical and maintenance supply contracts, such as Northside Independent School District's electrical equipment and parts solicitation and the City of Huntsville's MRO supplies bid.

Recent activity concentrates in California and Florida. Alameda County Water District issued IFB 26/27-01 for detector check valves with a July 14, 2026 response deadline; Collier County's Procurement Services Division posted a Notice of Intent to Single Source Illinois Tool Works dba E.H. Wachs for power valve operators, valve equipment, parts, and three-year maintenance services (October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2029) with a July 20, 2026 contest-submission deadline; and Seminole County issued a sole-source procurement (SS5253) of REXA actuator replacement and repair parts for wastewater treatment plants through PRO-CO, Inc., with responses due June 1, 2026, justified on proprietary design and compatibility grounds. The City of Huntsville, Texas solicited valve components within a broader MRO supplies ITB (No. 26-16) with a May 14, 2026 bid deadline and annual spend estimated at $100,000. These opportunities suggest steady maintenance and replacement demand driven by aging infrastructure and equipment standardization within utility operations.
