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 specialized mechanical power-transmission components and assemblies that state and local governments procure primarily for utility infrastructure, water treatment, wildlife management, and recreational facility operations. Recent solicitations show demand for polymeric chains, industrial gearboxes and speed reducers, sprockets for fish-screen systems, and taper bushing kits—components required for equipment maintenance, infrastructure upgrades, and system replacement across water management, environmental, and county operations. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code span county purchasing divisions, state natural-resource agencies, city engineering departments, and county water utilities. Gwinnett County Department of Financial Services, Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners, and DeKalb County Department of Innovation and Technology appear as recent active buyers, with Oregon and Georgia jurisdictions showing particular procurement velocity in the past six months.

Recent opportunities reflect geographic concentration in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest. The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife issued intermediate procurements in June and July 2026 for fish-screen components including sprockets and gearbox assemblies for the John Day Screen Shop, with quotes due June 11 and July 23, 2026 respectively. Gwinnett County issued an Informal Written Quotation (IWQ 133561) on July 29, 2026 for 150 units of polymeric chain (REXNORD NH78 or approved equivalent), due August 5, 2026, FOB Destination to the DWR Central Facility in Lawrenceville, Georgia. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issued an Invitation to Quote (ITQ2600239) on April 23, 2026 for two Dodge heavy-duty speed reducers and four taper bushing kits, estimated at $30,400.00, with delivery to the Northwest Water Reclamation Facility in Tampa, Florida and a May 8, 2026 deadline. Most solicitations specify exact part numbers or approved equivalents, no substitutes, and FOB Destination delivery with narrow delivery windows; payment terms typically run 30 days from receipt or invoice, and E-Verify compliance and drug-free workplace certification are standard.
