NIGP 54596: Water Well Drilling Equipment

NIGP 54596 Water Well Drilling Equipment, an Item code, encompasses the drilling, construction, testing, and equipping of groundwater production and injection wells for municipal water supply, irrigation, agricultural stock watering, and wastewater injection systems. State and local governments procure this work through a mix of issuing bodies: county water authorities, municipal water departments, regional water supply districts, county public works and utilities divisions, and special-purpose water management authorities. Recent solicitations show counties and cities soliciting well drilling, development, testing, pump installation, cathodic protection systems, and associated infrastructure across production wells, injection wells, test wells, and agricultural stock wells. Seminole County, Florida and Collier County, Florida have each issued multiple procurement actions under this code within the past four months, indicating concentrated repeat activity in water utility infrastructure. Work is being solicited across the country with particular concentration in Florida (Seminole, Collier, Brevard, Orange counties and multiple municipal systems), California (Orange County, Eastern Municipal Water District in Riverside County), Colorado (Boulder County), North Carolina (Onslow Water & Sewer Authority), Utah (City of Orem), Maryland (Maryland Environmental Service), Mississippi (Northeast Itawamba Water Association), and other states.
