NIGP 62595: Testing and Measuring Equipment (for Optical Components): Spherometers, etc.

NIGP 62595 Testing and Measuring Equipment (For Optical Components): Spherometers, Etc., an Item code, covers precision diagnostic and measurement instruments that state and local utilities, environmental agencies, and public facilities use for testing optical and electrical components in operational systems. The scope includes high-voltage capacitance measurement modules, spectrophotometers for water quality and waste-to-energy monitoring, and compatible test accessories. Recent solicitations show governments purchasing both new specialized modules to augment existing test platforms and direct replacements of aging units. Issuing bodies span utility authorities, city environmental and solid waste departments, and cooperative purchasing vehicles that serve multi-county and multi-state public-sector networks.

Activity under this code is sparse; only three recent opportunities appear in the record. Kissimmee Utility Authority (Florida) issued IFB 26046JG in September 2026 for a single OMICRON CP TD12 Testing Module with accessories, estimated below $250,000, for integration with its existing CPC100 capacitance test system. The City of Tampa's Solid Waste & Environmental Program Management posted RFQ 26-P-00372 in June 2026 to replace a Heck DR3900 Spectrophotometer with a newer DR4900 model at its McKay Bay Waste-to-Energy facility. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government cooperative serving participating counties and jurisdictions across the Pacific Northwest and nationwide, issued RFP 061626 in May 2026 to establish a framework agreement for law enforcement equipment available to thousands of public entities. The geographic footprint remains limited and highly localized to recent respondents — Florida and Washington state activity dominates the visible record, with cooperative purchasing extending national reach.
