NIGP 82016: Boiler Tubes

NIGP 82016 Boiler Tubes, an Item code, covers furnishing and installing boiler system components—tubes, vessels, indirect water heaters, pump systems, hydronic specialties, venting, piping, controls, and related equipment—for residential, municipal, and county facilities. State and local buyers procure complete boiler system replacement and maintenance services spanning inspection, preventative maintenance, calibration, emergency repair, and full system commissioning and replacement, often bundled with labor, installation, and disposal. Issuing bodies include city community development authorities, municipal utilities and water departments, county procurement offices, school districts, and county facilities management. The City of Madison Community Development Authority, City of Napa, County of Santa Clara, Pinellas County Florida, Charlotte Water (City of Charlotte), and School Board of Seminole County all posted opportunities under this code within the past three months, indicating activity across municipal infrastructure, water treatment, wastewater treatment, detention, animal services, and K–12 education facilities.
