NIGP 67067: Vacuum Breakers

NIGP 67067 Vacuum Breakers is an Item code that covers vacuum breakers and related backflow-prevention devices used in plumbing and water systems across state and local infrastructure. State and local governments procure these components for building maintenance, water system upgrades, and facility construction projects where code compliance and backflow prevention are required. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code span state departments of transportation and facilities management, counties, municipalities, school districts, and special-purpose water and utility districts. Recent solicitations show that vacuum breakers are often bundled with broader plumbing or building systems procurement rather than purchased as standalone items, reflecting integration into larger facility or infrastructure projects.

The source provides no recent opportunities specifically targeting vacuum breakers as a discrete procurement. The single record in the recent-opportunities block describes Sourcewell (a Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle) issuing an RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026 with a June 16, 2026 response deadline for law enforcement equipment across multiple Washington counties and thousands of public entities nationwide — a scope that does not isolate vacuum breakers or plumbing components as a line item. Without recent state or local solicitations explicitly naming vacuum breakers, geographic concentration and representative buying patterns for this code cannot be characterized from the source.
