NIGP 40046: Castings, Mold (Permanent, Shell, Investment, Centrifugal, Ceramic, Graphite, Plaster, V-Process)

NIGP 40046 Castings, Mold (Permanent, Shell, Investment, Centrifugal, Ceramic, Graphite, Plaster, V-Process) is an Item code under which state and local governments procure mold-casting services and related manufacturing support, though recent solicitation activity in this code is sparse. The one recent opportunity on record reflects municipal demand for specialized pump repair and maintenance services that depend on precision machining and metalworking capabilities typically associated with casting and fabrication shops — including disassembly, inspection, repair to OEM standards, reassembly, and startup of nine classifications of pumps (vertical turbine, horizontal split case, submersible, centrifugal, vertical chopper, progressing cavity, positive displacement, specialty branded units, and vacuum/hydraulic types). The scope requires vendors to own or have full access to functional machine shops, field service equipment, and personnel certified in pump shaft alignment, welding, and machinist work, with compliance to OSHA standards, lockout/tagout procedures, and manufacturer safety specifications. Parts procurement must meet aggressive timelines (90 percent within 24 hours, remaining 10 percent within 72 hours), and vendors must provide one-year warranties on parts and labor.

The City of Atlanta Department of Watershed Management, Fulton County, Georgia, posted a Pre-Advertisement Notice (Solicitation PE66062NONST2026000000372) on May 8, 2026, for a multi-step sealed bid process with prequalification and subsequent Invitation for Bid, closing May 29, 2026. The solicitation did not disclose an award value or budget range. No other recent state or local opportunities under this code appear in the available record, limiting visibility into geographic concentration or issuing-body patterns. Vendors pursuing this work must demonstrate full-service pump support capability, own certified machine shop infrastructure, and field personnel trained in confined-space entry and precision metalworking aligned with manufacturer specifications.
