NIGP 30561: Measuring Equipment, Area (Large Scale)

NIGP 30561 Measuring Equipment, Area (Large Scale) is an Item code under which state and local governments procure specialized monitoring and measurement systems for large-area applications, including road weather information infrastructure and chemical supply arrangements for environmental or operational purposes. Recent solicitations show counties and state transportation departments using this code to acquire equipment, support services, and supplies that enable real-time data collection and operational decision-making across geographically dispersed assets. Pasco County, Florida, for example, issued an RFQ in June 2026 for indefinite-quantity supply of copper sulfate crystals and liquid copper sulfate on an as-needed basis—materials used in large-scale water treatment or environmental monitoring. The issuing bodies under this code span county governments and state departments of transportation, each managing distinct operational needs but sharing a focus on procurement mechanisms that support ongoing, mission-critical monitoring functions.

Geographic activity under the code includes Florida and Illinois, with recent awards and active solicitations appearing in both states. The Illinois Department of Transportation, through the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office in Springfield, executed an emergency procurement for 90 days of Road Weather Information System (RWIS) support services awarded to DBT Transportation Services LLC, valued at $9,662.00, with the final cost documentation due May 11, 2026. This contract, running from December 10, 2025, through March 9, 2026, delivered real-time road and weather condition monitoring to support transportation operations and public safety. The range of recent solicitations—from indefinite-quantity chemical supply RFQs to emergency equipment-support contracts—suggests the code captures both routine consumables procurement and time-sensitive infrastructure maintenance, though recent posting volume is light.
