NIGP 69175: Sprockets and Gears (Roller Chain, Engineering, Split, Table Top, Plastic, Spur, Bevel, Helical, Rack and Pinion Gearing)

NIGP 69175 Sprockets and Gears (Roller Chain, Engineering, Split, Table Top, Plastic, Spur, Bevel, Helical, Rack and Pinion Gearing), an Item code, covers the procurement of discrete sprocket and gearbox components for operational infrastructure—primarily by state environmental and water-management agencies and county utilities departments. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing sprockets for fish-screen machinery, gearbox assemblies for water treatment and reclamation facilities, and industrial speed reducers with precision taper bushings for wastewater systems. The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife has posted multiple intermediate procurements for fish-screen sprockets and gearbox components under OregonBuys; Hillsborough County in Florida solicited specific Dodge torque-arm speed reducers and taper bushing kits for its Northwest Water Reclamation Facility; and Orange County, Florida issued a continuing engineering-services RFP that includes design and construction administration for utilities projects where such components may be specified or installed.

Activity under this code concentrates in Oregon and Florida, with the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife emerging as a repeat buyer for fish-screen infrastructure components. The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife posted an RFQ for John Day Screen Shop fish screen gearbox assemblies (hub city gearbox cradles and paddlewheel components, ten units each, delivery by August 13, 2026) and a subsequent RFQ for fish-screen sprockets (due July 23, 2026), both as intermediate procurements without protest rights. Hillsborough County's ITQ for Dodge speed reducers and taper bushings, with delivery to the Northwest Water Reclamation Facility by May 8, 2026, carried a project estimate of $30,400.00 and required exact part-number specifications with no substitutes. Orange County's RFP for continuing engineering services for its Utilities Department (due February 17, 2026) included engineering design and construction administration for utility projects estimated under $7.5 million, creating indirect demand for component specifications and procurement support.
