NIGP 72041: Meters and Dispensers for Fuel, Oil, and Lubricants

NIGP 72041 Meters and Dispensers for Fuel, Oil, and Lubricants, an Item code, encompasses the supply, installation, removal, maintenance, testing, and repair of fuel dispensing equipment at state and local facilities, including both new equipment procurement and replacement of existing systems across fleet fueling stations, municipal fuel depots, and emergency response infrastructure. State and local governments under this code purchase overhead dispensing meters for oil and grease, twin-hose and single-product fuel dispensers for gasoline and diesel, replacement parts for fueling-station equipment from manufacturers including OPW Products, Wayne Fueling Systems, Bennett, CIM-TEK, and Veeder-Root, and integrated fueling-system infrastructure supporting underground and aboveground storage tanks. Issuing bodies include municipal fleet departments, county procurement offices, municipal utilities, and independent school districts. The City of Albuquerque has posted two separate solicitations (one in April 2026 and a rebid in September 2026) for maintenance, testing, repair, and installation services on underground and aboveground storage tanks across multiple city facilities, indicating repeat engagement in tank infrastructure support.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southwest and Southeast. Palm Beach County, Florida has issued multiple amendments to a single RFQ for oil and grease overhead dispensing meters (most recent response deadline September 25, 2026), with a mandatory pre-quote conference and site inspection, a 5% local preference for Palm Beach County vendors, and an additional 5% Glades local preference. The City of San Antonio issued an IFB in June 2026 for removal and installation of eight fuel dispensers with a mandatory site visit and pre-bid conference. Sacramento County released an RFB for as-needed parts procurement for fuel stations and dispensers across multiple fuel types and electric vehicle charging stations, with a cumulative maximum contract value of $75,000 and cooperative purchasing availability through the Sacramento County Procurement Alliance. The City of Little Rock, Kissimmee Utility Authority, Harlingen Consolidated Independent School District, and the City of Rome, Georgia have also posted fuel-procurement activity. The University of Southern Mississippi pursued a sole-source purchase of a hydrogen-fueling dispenser under federal clean-energy grant funding. Set-aside and preference programs appear frequently: local preferences apply in Palm Beach County and Sacramento County; small-business and micro-business preferences are available in Sacramento; SBE certification is recognized in Palm Beach County; and Florida compliance requirements including E-Verify are standard across multiple jurisdictions.
