NIGP 82091: Turbines, Gas Driven

NIGP 82091 Turbines, Gas Driven is an Item code under which state and local governments procure components, parts, and consumables for gas-turbine power generation and mechanical systems, including thermocouples, guard filters, and generator lube oil for specific turbine models in active operation. The City of Austin Purchasing Office has been the primary recent issuer under this code, soliciting replacement and maintenance parts for LM6000 gas turbines through invitation-for-quotation (IFQ) notices with response windows typically spanning one to two weeks. The solicitations employ a tiered approach that initially targets certified Small Business Enterprises and Minority/Women-Owned Business Enterprises registered with Texas and the City of Austin before opening to all registered qualified vendors if adequate quotes are not received from preferred categories. Delivery is consistently FOB Destination with all freight, handling, and shipping charges included in quoted unit prices; the City is exempt from federal excise and state sales taxes and does not permit separate charges for administrative overhead, per diem, transportation, or local-delivery surcharges.

Geographic activity is concentrated in Texas, specifically in the Austin area, where the City of Austin has issued multiple IFQs since June 2026 for turbine components destined to the Sand Hill Energy Center in Del Valle. Representative recent solicitations include IFQ1100AGM1020, issued September 2, 2026 (response due September 14) for three T48 Thermocouples (GE part 1696M81P13); IFQ1100AGM1026, issued September 16, 2026 (response due September 23) for guard filters for LM6000 units; and IFQ1100CPG1084, issued September 8, 2026 (response due September 15) for generator mechanical lube oil specified to IMO Industri part number ACG045N7NVBP. All solicitations require signed certifications covering wage theft compliance, non-discrimination, debarment status, and critical electrical grid equipment restrictions under the Lone Star Infrastructure Protection Act. Awards are made to the lowest responsive offer meeting minimum qualifications, with payment due within thirty days of receipt of conforming invoices.
