NIGP 55737: Gauges and Meters (Including Speedometers)

NIGP 55737 Gauges and Meters (Including Speedometers), an Item code, encompasses measurement and instrumentation equipment that state and local governments procure for operational and utility-management applications. Recent solicitations show activity spanning specialized diagnostic and monitoring systems — including air-conditioning system diagnostics and repair certification for school buses — and precision metering infrastructure for water utilities. State and local issuing bodies under this code include county public school districts, county utility departments, and other municipal infrastructure agencies. The scope of work ranges from technician-certified refrigerant-system servicing with real-time vehicle status reporting to AWWA-compliant water meters designed for reclaimed-water applications in non-potable use cases such as irrigation and landscape watering.

Hillsborough County Public Schools issued RFP 26286RFPDST in September 2026 for school bus air-conditioning maintenance and repair services with an August response deadline, incorporating a Small Business Encouragement Program (SBEP) participation requirement with a 20 percent reinvestment goal directed to certified small-business subcontractors in the Tampa Bay area. Collier County Public Utilities Department issued a sole-source Notice of Intent in June 2026 for Master Meter Octave Series Water Meters, seeking single-source designation for reclaimed-water metering with a contract term running October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2029. Geographic activity centers on Florida, with recent opportunities posted in Hillsborough and Collier counties; no additional state jurisdictions appear in the current opportunity set.
