NIGP 34095: Water Clean-Up Vacuums

NIGP 34095 Water Clean-Up Vacuums is an Item code that in recent state and local solicitations covers fire protection system services, storm-water management, and facility water treatment programs—work substantially broader than the code's narrow title suggests. State and local buyers under this code range from school districts and municipal governments to convention centers and cooperative purchasing consortia, with recent activity showing school districts and cities as primary issuing bodies. The scope of work includes inspection and maintenance of pre-engineered and engineered fire suppression systems (CO2 automatic extinguishers and sprinklers), installation and maintenance of storm-water curb inlet filters with monthly debris removal, and comprehensive water treatment programs for chilled water and cooling tower systems—indicating that the code captures facility infrastructure services tied to water containment, treatment, and protection rather than portable vacuum equipment alone.

Recent opportunities cluster in Texas and Florida. Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida) issued RFP 26349-RFP-MST on September 7, 2026, seeking fire protection system services with proposals due October 5, 2026, requiring separate vendors for inspection and repair across 235 schools and including small business enterprise utilization scoring. The City of Richardson, Texas issued ITB 6826 on August 5, 2026, for an Annual Litter Abatement Program covering curb inlet filter installation and maintenance with an estimated annual cost of approximately $145,000 and proposals due September 3, 2026; Addendum No. 2 clarified that compensation is based on actual unit prices and average monthly debris collection ranges between 2,000–3,500 pounds. The Tampa Convention Center issued a water treatment services bid in August 2026 for chilled water and cooling tower systems optimization. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative (Texas) released an RFP for a two-year Custodial Supplies catalog discount agreement with estimated total expenditures of $12,638,478, indicating that cooperative purchasing vehicles also operate under or adjacent to this code.
