NIGP 67071: Valves, Butterfly, All Kinds

NIGP 67071 Valves, Butterfly, All Kinds is an Item code under which state and local water utilities, treatment facilities, and municipal infrastructure departments procure butterfly valves ranging from specialty flow-control combinations for potable water systems to large industrial rehabilitation components, along with related valve services and parts. Recent solicitations show demand for detector check valves, resilient gate and tapping valves, 36-inch Class 250B butterfly valves, and integration of butterfly valves into booster pump stations and water main projects, with quantities ranging from single replacement units to as-needed supply contracts over multiple years. Issuing bodies include county water districts (Alameda County Water District in California, Gwinnett County in Georgia), municipal water and treatment utilities (Eastern Municipal Water District in California, Charlotte Water in North Carolina, City of Tampa, City of Dallas, City of Lubbock), county boards of commissioners overseeing water infrastructure (Bryan County and Franklin County in Georgia), and special water authorities (Douglasville-Douglas County Water and Sewer Authority in Georgia). Water utilities dominate the code; most recent opportunities originate from departments managing treatment plants, distribution systems, and capital infrastructure projects rather than from cities' general purchasing offices or school districts.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast and Southwest, with recent solicitations from Georgia (Gwinnett County, Bryan County, Franklin County, Douglasville-Douglas County), California (Alameda County Water District, Eastern Municipal Water District), Texas (City of Dallas, City of Lubbock), Florida (City of Tampa), and North Carolina (Charlotte Water). Representative opportunities include Alameda County Water District's IFB 26/27-01 for detector check valves due July 14, 2026; Eastern Municipal Water District's RFQ 3930 for Lineseal XP 36" Butterfly Valves (Class 250B) due March 20, 2026; Charlotte Water's RFP for water treatment valve rehabilitation services (butterfly, cone, and gate valves) due April 1, 2026; and City of Dallas's IFS for butterfly valves of all kinds due February 27, 2026. Procurement methods span IFBs for commodity supply, RFQs for engineered components, RFPs for rehabilitation and specialized services, and informal solicitations for replacement parts, with contract structures including firm fixed-price purchases, as-needed supply contracts over one to three years, and indefinite-quantity rehabilitation agreements. Cost ranges from modest single-unit replacements to capital projects exceeding established municipal purchasing thresholds, with several opportunities tied to federal and state infrastructure funding (American Rescue Plan Act, Drinking Water State Revolving Fund, Federal Transit Administration grants).
