NIGP 67014: Gas Meters, Indicating and Recording

NIGP 67014 Gas Meters, Indicating and Recording is an Item code describing equipment and services state and local governments procure to measure, monitor, and manage natural gas consumption and distribution. Recent solicitations show municipalities and county utilities buying gas extraction and reclamation services, natural gas main installation and abandonment work with associated meter and pressure-testing components, and natural gas meter upgrades. The issuing bodies are primarily municipal utilities and county environmental departments with direct responsibility for gas infrastructure and sustainability operations. Scope includes EPA-certified refrigerant reclamation (extraction, documentation, and recycling of gases from collected appliances), natural gas distribution main work (boring, trenching, pressure testing, and restoration), and meter modernization projects. Contractors and service providers in this space must carry relevant certifications—EPA Section 608 for refrigerant handling, API 1104 for gas main installation, and state-specific operator qualifications—and maintain detailed compliance records and bonding.

Recent activity appears concentrated in the Southwest and Southeast. The City of Tucson Environmental and General Services Division issued RFP No. 240011 for EPA-certified refrigerant reclamation services at the Los Reales Sustainability Campus, with a pre-submittal conference on March 19, 2024, and proposal due September 19, 2024; the contract includes provisions for up to four one-year renewals. The City of Leesburg, Florida posted IFB No. 26-002-HG for approximately 1,500 feet of 6-inch steel natural gas main abandonment and installation under U.S. Highway 27, with a mandatory pre-bid conference on October 15, 2025, and bid due November 5, 2025, requiring API 1104 certification and five years of relevant project experience; FDOT funding triggers federal domestic preference and E-Verify compliance. Garfield County, Colorado posted a Natural Gas Meter Upgrade solicitation (NPSS1CAAA20270000371) with an abbreviated timeline (due August 26, 2026), but the full scope is not available in public summaries. A Minnesota Sourcewell cooperative RFP (No. 061626) for law enforcement equipment was posted in May 2026 and is unrelated to gas meter or infrastructure procurement—it does not apply to this code.
