NIGP 49075: Plasma Generators

NIGP 49075 Plasma Generators, an Item code, covers equipment maintenance and repair services for plasma generators and related apparatus, as well as procurement of specialized plasma cleaning and surface-treatment equipment for research and laboratory applications. State and local governments buy generator maintenance and emergency repair services—covering routine servicing, parts replacement, and 24-hour response capability—and standalone plasma-generation equipment for university research departments. Issuing bodies include county facilities management offices (managing large distributed generator fleets) and university procurement offices acquiring laboratory and research apparatus.

Seminole County, Florida released RFP-604608-23/LNF in October 2026 to procure generator services and repairs across approximately 230 units of various manufacturers and sizes through a three-year term contract with options for two additional one-year renewals; the RFP sought multiple award winners and evaluated proposals on performance and references (30%), services offered and warranty (30%), and fee structure (40%), with contractors required to provide 24-hour emergency service and detailed pricing for routine and after-hours repair work. The University of Mississippi Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry issued a sole-source notice in June 2026 for a Harrick Plasma PDC-001-HP High Power Expanded Plasma Cleaner valued at $18,663, with the University justifying sole-source procurement on the basis that no alternative inductively coupled plasma technology met the specified chamber dimensions and RF power requirements for its research application; objections were due by July 15, 2026. Recent activity under this code spans county government and higher-education procurement, with geographic concentration in the Southeast.
