NIGP 82008: Boilers, High Pressure

NIGP 82008 Boilers, High Pressure is an Item code encompassing boiler inspection, maintenance, repair, and replacement services that state and local governments procure across municipal facilities, water and wastewater treatment plants, housing authorities, school districts, and public health institutions. Recent solicitations show demand for both scheduled preventive maintenance programs (quarterly, semi-annual, and annual inspections with cleaning, safety valve reconditioning, and combustion efficiency testing) and capital replacement projects involving removal of existing boilers and installation of new units with full commissioning and operator training. The issuing-body mix spans county procurement offices (Fulton County Georgia, Santa Clara County California, Pinellas County Florida), municipal water departments (Charlotte Water, City of Napa, City of Tucson), housing authorities (Salt Lake City Housing Authority, Harrisburg Housing Authority), school districts (Jordan School District Utah, Clare-Gladwin Regional Education Service District Michigan), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Florida), and regional education service districts, indicating broad-based procurement activity across institutional and municipal infrastructure.
