NIGP 67088: Water Hammer Arrester

NIGP 67088 Water Hammer Arrester is an Item code that encompasses plumbing and water system components used in building mechanical installations across state and local facilities. The code captures the passive pressure-relief devices that prevent damage to piping systems from sudden pressure surges, typically installed in water supply lines serving buildings, schools, transit facilities, and municipal infrastructure. State and local governments procure water hammer arresters as part of routine maintenance, renovation, and new construction contracts for facilities ranging from administrative offices and schools to water treatment plants and public transportation hubs. Issuing bodies span state departments of facilities management, county public works departments, municipal building departments, school districts, and special-purpose water authorities. The scope of procurement under the code extends to both the devices themselves and, when bundled with broader mechanical or plumbing work, associated installation and testing services.

The most recent state and local opportunity posted under this code is limited in geographic signal. Sourcewell, the State of Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, issued RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026, with a response deadline of June 16, 2026, to establish a contracting solution for law enforcement equipment available to participating entities across Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, Yakima County, and other jurisdictions throughout the United States and Canada. Vendors must submit proposals through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal at https://proportal.sourcewell-mn.gov. The solicitation does not identify set-aside designations, specific award values, or budget ranges in available documentation. Contact inquiries may be directed to Mari Vielma at rfp@sourcewell-mn.gov or 888-894-1930. The activity under NIGP 67088 itself is currently sparse; recent procurement visibility focused on water hammer arresters as discrete line items or system components remains limited in the public solicitation record.
