NIGP 34516: Detectors and Parts, Dust, Gas, Voltage

NIGP 34516 Detectors and Parts, Dust, Gas, Voltage is an Item code covering gas-detection equipment and related instrumentation that state and local governments procure for workplace safety, hazardous-substance monitoring, emergency response, and utility infrastructure operations. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring handheld gas-identification systems for fire departments, upgrading fixed gas-detection networks at water treatment facilities, and sourcing contractors to service high-pressure wells in hazardous gas environments. The issuing bodies span state natural-resource agencies, municipal fire departments, and special-purpose water authorities. The work ranges from equipment supply (handheld FTIR gas-detection devices with quantification packages, one-year warranties, and operator training) to large-scale system upgrades integrating gas detection with facility control systems, switchgear replacement, and instrumentation networks.

The most recent activity appears in Texas, Indiana, and Michigan.
