NIGP 82080 Pulverizers, Boiler And Power Plant (Item) encompasses boiler replacement, installation, inspection, and preventative maintenance at school facilities, county judicial buildings, municipal housing, and special-purpose districts across the United States. State and local governments soliciting under this code are procuring complete boiler system replacements including equipment removal and disposal, installation of new condensing or non-condensing boilers with circulation pumps and associated piping modifications, hydronic controls, natural gas connections, and commissioning work. Recent solicitations also include multi-year preventative maintenance contracts covering monthly chemical testing, alarm documentation, emergency repair services, and manufacturer-recommended startup and shutdown procedures on existing chiller and boiler systems.

Activity under the code reflects a mix of issuing bodies: school districts (Liberty County School System in Georgia), municipal housing authorities (City of Madison Community Development Authority in Wisconsin), county government departments (Dougherty County Board of Commissioners via the City of Albany Procurement Division in Georgia; County of Santa Clara in California), and city procurement offices (City of Phoenix Housing Department in Arizona).
