NIGP 34049: Foam Dispensing Equipment, Compressed Air (for Fires)

NIGP 34049 Foam Dispensing Equipment, Compressed Air (For Fires), an Item code, encompasses fire suppression and rescue equipment procurement by state and local fire departments, school districts, and county emergency services. The scope of work includes fire protection systems maintenance and repair, self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) servicing, firefighting tools and powered rescue equipment, fire-alarm system replacements, and related emergency response supplies. State and local governments buy under this code to equip fire departments and public facilities with compliant, mission-ready equipment and to maintain those systems to NFPA, OSHA, and NIOSH standards. Issuing bodies include county consolidated governments, county boards of education, county public schools, and county emergency management agencies; school districts appear frequently as both operators of fire-safety infrastructure across multiple facilities and as purchasers of protective equipment for on-site emergency responders.
