NIGP 67088: Water Hammer Arrester

NIGP 67088 Water Hammer Arresters, an Item code, covers pressure-relief devices that state and local governments procure as utility system components to protect piping infrastructure from water pressure surges. State and local buyers sourcing under this code include municipal public works departments, city utilities, and county water systems. Water hammer arresters are typically bundled with broader utility parts and supplies solicitations rather than procured in standalone category competitions, reflecting their role as one line item within larger maintenance and repair inventories that support water distribution, wastewater, and stormwater networks.

The City of Southlake, Texas (Tarrant County) posted RFP2601B400CH260010 on July 24, 2026, seeking utility parts and supplies for its Department of Public Works with awards planned to multiple qualified vendors on a category basis; proposals were due August 21, 2026. The source reflects limited recent state and local procurement visibility under this specific code. No estimated contract value, contract term, set-asides, or incumbent vendor information is available. Geographic activity is concentrated in Texas based on the single recent posting, though the narrow window and bundled procurement structure suggest water hammer arresters move through regional cooperative and multi-category awards rather than as standalone solicitations, which limits direct code-level visibility into broader national activity.
