NIGP 67074: Valves, Drop-Out

NIGP 67074 Valves, Drop-Out is an Item code covering detector check valves and related drop-out valve products that state and local water utilities and special-purpose districts procure for supply and delivery to operational facilities. The code sees activity from special-purpose districts like water authorities procuring through invitation-for-bid (IFB) notices, and from cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple jurisdictions. Scope spans detector check valves and similar pressure-control or backflow-prevention valve products needed for water system operations and infrastructure maintenance.

Recent solicitation activity includes Alameda County Water District's IFB 26/27-01, posted July 8, 2026, seeking detector check valves for supply and delivery to its Fremont, California headquarters facility, with proposals due July 14, 2026. A broader cooperative purchasing opportunity, Sourcewell RFP #061626 posted May 12, 2026 and due June 16, 2026, was structured as a multi-jurisdictional law enforcement equipment vehicle on behalf of participating entities in Washington state (Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County) and other public entities across the United States and Canada, though this particular solicitation does not directly map to drop-out valve procurement. Recent activity concentrates in California and the Pacific Northwest, with California showing concrete demand from water district operations.
