NIGP 82052: Draft Fans and Draft Gauges

NIGP 82052 Draft Fans and Draft Gauges, an Item code, covers mechanical and measurement equipment that state and local governments procure for HVAC systems, industrial ventilation, and combustion-air management in building operations. State and local buyers source draft fans—motorized units that create or regulate air movement through ducts, chimneys, and equipment—and draft gauges, which measure pressure differentials to verify proper ventilation performance. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include facilities management departments within state agencies, county maintenance operations, city public works and building services divisions, and school district capital and facilities teams. Recent activity shows the code attracts vendors supplying replacement components and new installations for both retrofit and new-construction projects across municipal and educational infrastructure.

The source provided contains no recent state or local contract opportunities posted under NIGP 82052. Without posted RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, or ITBs in the available records, geographic concentration and representative solicitation detail cannot be characterized. Practitioners tracking this code should monitor state facilities management cooperative purchasing vehicles and county mechanical-equipment schedules, where draft-fan and gauge procurement often flows through standing schedules rather than individual open solicitations.
