NIGP 69079: Switches, Temperature Pressure

NIGP 69079 Switches, Temperature Pressure is an Item code that encompasses pressure and temperature instrumentation equipment state and local governments procure for water and wastewater systems, waste-to-energy facilities, and building infrastructure. State and local buyers under this code purchase pressure transmitters, pressure switches, pressure gauges, temperature transmitters, temperature switches, thermowells, resistance temperature detectors, diaphragm seals, remote indicators, and associated mounting hardware, junction boxes, cable assemblies, and power supplies from manufacturers including ABB, Ashcroft, Barksdale, Dwyer, Emerson, Endress+Hauser, Honeywell, IFM, Omega, and Siemens. Issuing bodies include municipal water and wastewater utilities, county solid-waste authorities, and county departments managing capital infrastructure projects. Vendors typically must demonstrate a minimum three-year history supplying similar instrumentation to comparable utilities, function as local stocking distributors capable of same-day or next-business-day fulfillment for replacement parts, and provide professional references. Contracts often include firm pricing for an initial period with annual review opportunities thereafter.

Recent activity reflects both routine municipal utility procurement and large capital-infrastructure projects. The City of Phoenix Water Services Department posted an IFB on August 18, 2026, for a five-year instrumentation equipment contract commencing October 15, 2026, requiring vendors to meet DBE-N participation targets and to support over-the-counter and emergency replacement sales across municipal water and wastewater treatment facilities. The Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County solicited expressions of interest in September 2026 for a mass-burn waste-to-energy facility (PBREI 1R) with responses due November 18, 2026, including operation and maintenance services over a potential 20+ year term—scope that incorporates process-control instrumentation within a larger DDBOM (Demolition, Design, Build, Operate and Maintain) structure. A third opportunity from DeKalb County in June 2026 for tennis center reconstruction included low-voltage infrastructure systems under county DoIT standards. Geographic activity spans Florida, Arizona, and Georgia; Phoenix and Palm Beach County are notable buyers pursuing multi-year or long-term service agreements.
