NIGP 72024: Diaphragm Pumps

NIGP 72024 Diaphragm Pumps, an Item code, encompasses diaphragm pressure gauges, hose pump parts and replacement components, bypass pump installations, and complete fluid delivery and recovery systems serving water, wastewater, and public works operations across state and local jurisdictions. State and local governments procure these products for operational reliability in lift stations, water reclamation centers, and public works facilities, where diaphragm assemblies and pressure measurement equipment support troubleshooting, preventative maintenance, system pressure monitoring, and equipment integrity. Issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners (Hillsborough County, Lowndes County, Fulton County), municipal water and wastewater districts (North Texas Municipal Water District, Fulton County Department of Watershed Management), city utilities and public works departments (City of Phoenix Water Services, City of Austin, Murray City), and educational service districts (Educational Service District 564 in Texas). Most solicitations target equipment suppliers, authorized distributors of branded components (Ashcroft, Aurora, Jacuzzi, Stranco, Watson-Marlow Bredel), and installation contractors with utility licensing and field service capability.

Recent activity spans Texas, Florida, Georgia, Utah, and surrounding states. Representative opportunities include Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' ITB for 200 Ashcroft pressure gauges with 1/4-inch NPT connections across 700 pump stations (project estimate $65,148.80, bids due September 21, 2026); City of Phoenix Water Services' IFB-26-0287 for a five-year pump supply and services contract covering Aurora, Jacuzzi, and Stranco products with parts, repair services, and emergency 24-hour availability (sealed offers due May 6, 2026); Lowndes County Board of Commissioners' sealed bid for permanent bypass pump installation at 20 lift station sites with mandatory pre-bid attendance (bids due September 1, 2026); and Fulton County Department of Watershed Management's IFB for Watson-Marlow Bredel hose pump parts at multiple Water Reclamation Centers (bids due July 31, 2026).

Most contracts involve warranty provisions, performance bonds, emergency service requirements, and E-Verify compliance; some require DBE or local preference compliance specific to issuing jurisdiction or funding source.
