NIGP 74009: Bacterial and Odor Control Equipment

NIGP 74009 Bacterial and Odor Control Equipment, an Item code, covers specialized systems that capture and treat odorous air and foul gases at wastewater treatment facilities, lift stations, and similar municipal infrastructure. State and local governments procure this equipment through direct purchases and sole-source contracts, often from authorized sales representatives or equipment manufacturers. The work spans acquisition of proprietary odor-control units (such as HIVENT, HIBOCS, HICARB, and HIVON systems, or New York Blower centrifugal-fan systems), replacement media (carbon adsorbers, chemical scrubbers, biofilters), replacement parts, and ongoing service and maintenance. Wastewater treatment authorities and county procurement offices are the primary issuing bodies. Counties dominate recent activity — Marion County Procurement in Florida and Collier County Procurement Services in Florida both posted notices in the past several months — and cooperative purchasing vehicles also participate, as evidenced by Sourcewell's regional law-enforcement equipment framework that touches this category.

Recent opportunities concentrate in Florida and the Pacific Northwest. Marion County Procurement posted a notice of intent on July 13, 2026, to sole-source HIVENT, HIBOCS, HICARB, and HIVON odor control equipment, media, parts, and services from Heyward Florida Incorporated for wastewater treatment plants and lift stations, with a competition-determination deadline of July 21, 2026. Collier County Procurement Services posted a notice of intent on April 24, 2026, to single-source New York Blower odor control systems from Pero Engineering and Sales Company, Inc. (with purchase orders issued directly to The New York Blower Company), under a proposed three-year contract term running October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2029. Neither notice disclosed estimated contract values. Both opportunities are sole-source or notice-of-intent notices rather than competitive solicitations, signaling limited vendor diversity and proprietary equipment lock-in across the municipal wastewater sector.
