NIGP 82091: Turbines, Gas Driven

NIGP 82091 Turbines, Gas Driven is an Item code under which state and local governments procure replacement and repair components for gas turbine systems, including specialized thermal measurement devices and engine parts. The City of Austin Purchasing Office has posted multiple quotation solicitations for Thermocouple T48 components designed for LM6000 gas turbines, indicating that this code covers discrete, GE-manufacturer components used in power generation and energy infrastructure operated by municipal utilities. Issuing bodies under this code include municipal purchasing offices managing energy production facilities; the City of Austin appears as a repeat buyer for gas turbine spare parts and diagnostics components.

The City of Austin has driven recent activity in this code through two IFQ solicitations within six months. On January 28, 2026, the City of Austin Purchasing Office posted IFQ 1100 CPG1056 for Thermocouple T48 components with a response deadline of February 4, 2026, using a tiered vendor notification process that initially targeted State of Texas certified HUB or M/WBE vendors before opening to the general vendor pool. A second solicitation, IFQ 1100 AGM1011, posted June 10, 2026, with quotes due June 18, 2026, sought three units of the same component for delivery to Austin Energy's Sand Hill Energy Center. Both solicitations required FOB Destination pricing inclusive of freight, compliance with wage theft and non-discrimination certifications, and insurance coverage with minimum limits of $500,000. Recent activity under the code is concentrated in Texas, specifically within Austin's municipal energy infrastructure procurement.
