NIGP 74088: Water Filters, Ice Machine

NIGP 74088 Water Filters, Ice Machine is an Item code covering filter replacement materials, labor, and associated maintenance services for drinking fountains and ice machines across school districts and other public facilities. State and local governments procure under this code routine filter replacements meeting NSF/ANSI certifications, sanitization and cleaning services, filter change logging and inventory management, and installation of filters and related equipment. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts—both Hillsborough County Public Schools and Pinellas County School District in Florida have posted recent solicitations—though the code may see activity from county facilities, municipal water and recreation departments, and special-purpose service providers.

Hillsborough County Public Schools issued ITB 26233-ITBMST in September 2026 seeking filter replacement services across approximately 6,500 water cooler units and 460 ice machine units at 235 facilities, with bids due August 12, 2026 (extended via Addendum 1 from August 5). Pinellas County School District posted RFQ 26JG006 in July 2026 for ice maker cleaning and sanitization services including filter changes at 121 school locations, with an estimated contract value of approximately $45,000 for the initial one-year term and quotations due April 30, 2026. Both Florida school districts require NSF and IAPMO certification verification, compliance with Florida employment and ownership statutes, comprehensive liability insurance, and unit-rate or location-based pricing that includes all labor, materials, travel, and consumables. Geographic activity concentrates in Florida, with both recent opportunities originating from major school districts in the state. A third opportunity posted in June 2026 under solicitation 26014L31 for food service ice machines also appears Florida-based but lacked sufficient detail for characterization.
