NIGP 28591: Valves, Electro Pneumatic

NIGP 28591 Valves, Electro Pneumatic, an Item code, encompasses electro-pneumatic valve components and actuator equipment that state and local governments procure for water, wastewater, and utility infrastructure operations. Recent solicitations show governments buying detector check valves, power valve operators, electro-pneumatic actuators (including REXA and Illinois Tool Works equipment), replacement parts, and bundled maintenance and repair services for these components. The issuing bodies span county water and wastewater utilities, county purchasing divisions, independent school districts, and regional water districts; Florida counties appear as repeat buyers across multiple recent solicitations. The work typically involves supply-and-delivery of new equipment, parts inventory for existing installed systems, preventive maintenance programs, field service and commissioning support, and SCADA integration for remote monitoring in compliance-driven municipal and county wastewater treatment environments.

Broward County, Florida posted a Request for Information on DeZurik/APCO valves and repair services due September 29, 2026, seeking to establish whether alternative suppliers exist for electro-pneumatic valve equipment currently supplied exclusively by Controls Specialties, Inc., with vendor responses required to demonstrate SCADA compatibility, wastewater facility experience, and preventive maintenance capability. Seminole County, Florida issued a sole-source procurement (SS5253) for REXA actuator replacement and repair parts due June 1, 2026, with PRO-CO, Inc. identified as the presumed sole distributor. Collier County, Florida posted a Notice of Intent to Single Source Illinois Tool Works dba E.H. Wachs for power valve operators and related maintenance services (contract term October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2029). Alameda County Water District issued IFB 26/27-01 for detector check valves with delivery to Fremont, California, proposals due July 14, 2026. Activity concentrates in Florida and California, with additional procurement from Texas and across cooperative purchasing networks such as Sourcewell.
