NIGP 67075: Valves, Iron Body: Angle, Check, Gate, Globe, etc.

NIGP 67075 Valves, Iron Body: Angle, Check, Gate, Globe, Etc. is an Item code under which state and local water utilities procure specialized valve equipment for distribution systems, treatment plants, and capital infrastructure projects. Water departments and county water resources agencies soliciting under this code are purchasing check valves, butterfly valves, resilient gate valves, quick insertion valves, slide gates, and related valve assemblies for pressurized mains, treatment filter plants, and emergency or backup system functions. The buying pattern spans routine maintenance and replacement supplies procured on annual or as-needed standing contracts through competitive sealed bids and ITBs, alongside one-time capital equipment orders and sole-source authorizations for specified manufacturer products. Issuing bodies include municipal water departments (Tampa, Sarasota, Calhoun), county water resources and utility divisions (Gwinnett County, DeKalb County), and occasionally other government units on cooperative purchasing platforms. Contract structures range from small materials-only bids with $10,000 to $75,000 estimated values to multiyear supply agreements with renewal options, and include set-aside designations such as Small Local Business Enterprise (SLBE) discounts where jurisdictions restrict bidding to certified small vendors.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Florida. The City of Tampa Wastewater Department posted an Intent to Single Source for APCO check and vacuum relief valves (due October 14, 2026); the City of Tampa Water Department issued an SLBE-restricted IFB for backflow prevention devices and check valves with an estimated value of $75,000 and responses due June 22, 2026. Gwinnett County issued multiple competitive sealed bids for butterfly valves serving the Lanier and Shoal Creek Filter Plants (bids due July 15 and September 23, 2026), as well as informal written quotations for resilient gate and tapping valves (due June 9, 2026). The County of DeKalb posted an ITB for quick insertion valves under a three-year multiyear contract (due August 27, 2026). The City of Sarasota solicited materials-only bids for pipe, fittings, and valve appurtenances for water main replacement (due June 16, 2026), and the City of Calhoun requested sealed bids for water main relocation materials including gate valves and fittings (due June 18, 2026). Delivery performance, AWWA standards compliance, NSF/ANSI certification for drinking water service, and maintenance documentation are consistent evaluation factors across opportunities.
