NIGP 82088: Tube Cleaners and Tube Expanders

NIGP 82088 Tube Cleaners and Tube Expanders, an Item code, covers specialized mechanical tools and equipment used to clean, maintain, and expand tubing in industrial and facility maintenance contexts. State and local governments procure these tools primarily through water utilities, wastewater treatment facilities, public works departments, and facilities management operations where tube and pipe maintenance is routine. The work centers on acquiring purpose-built equipment—mechanical cleaners designed for various tube diameters, expanding tools for tube-end work, and related hand or powered implements—rather than consumables or repair services. Issuing bodies include municipal water and sewer departments, county public utilities, state facility management agencies, and independent special districts responsible for water infrastructure.

The source provided contains no recent state and local contract opportunities under this code. Without posted solicitations, issuing-body concentration, geographic distribution, and representative recent work cannot be characterized from current market activity.
