NIGP 54512: Compressors, Gas (All Types)

NIGP 54512 Compressors, Gas (All Types) is an Item code covering gas-powered compressor equipment that state and local governments procure for operational and emergency-response use. The recent solicitation activity under this code shows purchasing focused on consumable supplies and equipment for public safety operations rather than specialized industrial compression systems. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles like Sourcewell are the primary issuing bodies visible in current activity, sourcing equipment for fire rescue, law enforcement, and general county operations across multiple jurisdictions. The scope of work reflects routine procurement of operational equipment needed to support 24/7 public safety services, with an emphasis on authorized distribution, new condition, and rapid delivery capability — typically within 10 days of purchase order.

Hillsborough County, Florida and a multi-state cooperative anchored in Minnesota (Sourcewell) show the geographic concentration in recent opportunities. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issued an ITB on July 7, 2026 for janitorial and operational supplies supporting 47 fire stations, with bids due July 24, 2026 and an estimated contract value of $765,679.84 for one year with no renewal options. Sourcewell issued an RFP (#061626) on May 12, 2026 with a June 16, 2026 response deadline to establish a law enforcement equipment contracting solution for multiple participating Washington counties (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, Yakima) and public entities across the United States and Canada; the resulting contract would be available to governmental agencies, school districts, nonprofits, and tribal governments through a participating addendum structure. Both solicitations prioritize vendor authorization, chain of custody documentation, and established delivery standards but do not disclose specific set-aside designations or award values for the Sourcewell opportunity.
