NIGP 82065: Flue Gas Desulfurization System Equipment

NIGP 82065 Flue Gas Desulfurization System Equipment, an Item code, encompasses air-pollution-control hardware and components that state and local governments procure for industrial and utility operations to remove sulfur dioxide from combustion exhaust streams. The code covers the physical equipment—absorbers, scrubbers, reagent injection systems, mist eliminators, and associated ducting and structural supports—that municipalities, counties, and state environmental or utility agencies install and maintain at power plants, waste-to-energy facilities, and other large stationary sources subject to Clean Air Act compliance. Issuing bodies include state energy and environmental departments, municipal utility authorities, and county waste management districts operating or regulating these facilities.

No recent state and local contract opportunities appear in the available records for this code. The absence of posted solicitations reflects the specialized and capital-intensive nature of flue gas desulfurization procurement; these systems are typically installed during facility construction or major retrofit projects with long planning and engineering cycles, rather than through routine competitive bidding. Firms pursuing this code should monitor state environmental agency procurement schedules, utility authority capital-improvement plans, and municipal waste-to-energy facility modernization notices for the irregular but substantial opportunities that emerge when facilities undergo compliance upgrades or equipment replacement.
