NIGP 37065: Thermometers, Industrial (Including Recording Thermometers)

NIGP 37065 Thermometers, Industrial (Including Recording Thermometers) is an Item code under which state and local governments procure temperature measurement and monitoring instrumentation for municipal utility operations, water treatment, and facility management. The City of Phoenix Water Services Department issued IFB 26-0398 in August 2026 for a five-year supply contract covering temperature transmitters, temperature switches, thermowells, resistance temperature detectors, remote indicators, and associated mounting hardware and accessories for water and wastewater treatment facilities. Under this code, procurement officers seek vendors who stock approved manufacturers' equipment, maintain inventory for same-day or next-business-day fulfillment, and demonstrate a minimum three-year history supplying similar instrumentation to water and wastewater utilities. Vendors must provide one-year warranties on all new, unused stock and function as local stocking distributors capable of over-the-counter sales and emergency replacement-part delivery. Issuing bodies include municipal water and wastewater authorities managing treatment and distribution systems.

The recent opportunity at the City of Phoenix is the primary visible activity in this code. The solicitation required sealed offers due August 18, 2026, with contract commencement targeted for October 15, 2026, and included a non-mandatory pre-offer conference on August 4, 2026. Pricing must be firm and fixed for the initial one-year period with annual review thereafter, quoted on a FOB destination basis with delivery costs incorporated. The City of Phoenix applies a DBE-N small business participation plan tracked through its Certification and Compliance System. Award will go to the lowest responsive and responsible offeror, with the City reserving the right to award by line item, in groups, all or none, or any advantageous combination, and potentially to award multiple contracts.
