NIGP 57820: Counters, Mechanical: Tally, etc.

NIGP 57820 Counters, Mechanical: Tally, Etc., an Item code, encompasses mechanical counting and flow-measurement devices that state and local governments procure for operational and infrastructure projects. Recent solicitations show activity focused on flow meters and related measurement equipment integrated into larger construction and equipment upgrades, rather than standalone counter products. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include cities, counties, and cooperative purchasing entities serving multiple jurisdictions across state and local government.

Activity under the code remains sparse in the recent record. The City of DeBary, Florida issued a competitive bid (Solicitation 0315, due April 10, 2015) for Rob Sullivan Park Irrigation Improvements that specified a Hunter FCT-300 flow meter as part of a comprehensive irrigation system conversion project with an estimated cost of $90,000. A broader cooperative purchasing RFP issued by Sourcewell on behalf of participating entities in Minnesota and Washington (RFP 061626, due June 16, 2026) sought to establish a contracting solution for law enforcement equipment available to thousands of governmental agencies, though the specific product categories and whether mechanical counters or flow meters fall within scope are not detailed in the available documentation. Geographic activity appears limited to Florida and the Pacific Northwest, with the solicitation structure through Sourcewell indicating potential multi-state reach across participating jurisdictions.
