NIGP 74074: Scale Eliminator Devices, Ice Machine

NIGP 74074 Scale Eliminator Devices, Ice Machine is an Item code under which state and local governments procure equipment to remove scale buildup from ice machines and related cooling systems. The recent solicitation activity under this code reflects broader law enforcement equipment procurement initiatives, where scale elimination and ice machine maintenance equipment supports operational infrastructure across public safety facilities, detention centers, and administrative buildings. Issuing bodies soliciting under the code include state agencies, counties, cities, school districts, and special-purpose districts accessing cooperative purchasing vehicles. The Sourcewell cooperative purchasing arrangement demonstrates how scale eliminator devices and ice machine maintenance equipment are bundled within larger law enforcement and facilities management procurement frameworks to serve thousands of public entities across multiple jurisdictions.

Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, issued RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026 with a response deadline of June 16, 2026, establishing a contracting solution for law enforcement equipment available to participating entities in Washington state (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima Counties among them) and throughout the United States and Canada. The cooperative structure allows selected vendors to serve governmental agencies, higher education institutions, K-12 school districts, nonprofit organizations, tribal governments, and other public entities through a single master contract with participating addenda. Vendors submit proposals exclusively through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal; no solicitation documents are available through Washington's Electronic Business Solutions system. Scale eliminator devices and ice machine equipment under this code are procured as components of broader facilities and law enforcement operational support contracts rather than as standalone line items, reflecting typical state and local practice of bundling maintenance and support equipment within larger equipment frameworks.
