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 that covers specialized casting processes used in industrial equipment repair and manufacturing. State and local governments procure mold-cast components primarily as part of capital equipment maintenance and replacement activities, particularly for water and wastewater infrastructure assets. The code captures both the procurement of cast parts themselves and the services required to produce or repair them to original equipment manufacturer standards. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include municipal utilities and departments responsible for operating and maintaining complex mechanical systems — such as water authorities and public works departments — which rely on precision-cast components for pumps, turbines, and other process equipment.

The City of Atlanta Department of Watershed Management issued a pre-advertisement notice (PE66062NONST2026000000372) on May 8, 2026, for comprehensive pump repair, maintenance, and parts replacement services across nine pump classifications, with a response deadline of May 29, 2026. The solicitation spans repair and reinstallation of cast components within vertical turbine pumps, horizontal split case pumps, submersible pumps, centrifugal pumps, and other pump types, requiring vendors to demonstrate access to machine shops capable of restoring cast parts to OEM specifications. The multi-step process includes prequalification and formal invitation for bid phases. Beyond the Atlanta opportunity, the recent-opportunities block provides no additional state or local casting-related solicitations, limiting visibility into broader geographic spread or issuing-body patterns under this code.
