NIGP 82048: Deaerating Units

NIGP 82048 Deaerating Units is an Item code encompassing equipment used to remove dissolved gases and air from liquids in municipal water treatment, utility infrastructure, and industrial facility operations. State and local governments procure deaerating units as capital equipment for water systems, HVAC applications, and specialized treatment processes where air removal is critical to system performance and longevity. The code attracts solicitations from state water authorities, municipal utilities, county public works departments, and water districts managing treatment plants and distribution infrastructure.

Recent state and local procurement activity under this code remains limited in the public record. A June 2026 solicitation by the State of Texas (IW251646, "Pump and Motors for D. A. Tank") posted on June 17, 2026, with a proposal due date of May 28, 2026, suggests Texas water or utility system procurement, though available documentation does not contain sufficient detail to characterize the full scope, evaluation criteria, or award value. The sparse recent activity and incomplete solicitation records indicate low current volume under this Item code; firms evaluating entry should monitor state water authority and municipal utility RFQs and IFBs in Texas and other major water-system states for deaerating equipment and ancillary pump and motor specifications.
