NIGP 83052: Stainless Steel Tanks: Mixing, Pickling, and Processing Types (for Chemicals, Foods, Paints, Soaps, etc.)

NIGP 83052 Stainless Steel Tanks: Mixing, Pickling, And Processing Types (For Chemicals, Foods, Paints, Soaps, Etc.), Item tier, does not align with recent state and local solicitation activity posted under this code. The four most recent opportunities in the source involve CO2 gas tank rental, refill, and delivery services (Collier County, Florida); paint and painting supplies catalog discount bids (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, Texas); and exterior painting and siding work (City of Madison, Wisconsin). None of these solicitations reflect the purchase or rental of stainless steel mixing, pickling, or processing tanks for chemical, food, paint, or soap applications. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the source data or a significant divergence between the NIGP taxonomy definition and the goods and services currently being procured under this code number in state and local markets.

Collier County, Florida has posted two substantially identical Quick Quote solicitations for CO2 tank rental, refill, and delivery services across six county aquatic facilities (QQ2026144, due August 7, 2026, and QQ2026136, due July 8, 2026), with contract terms running October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Kilgore, Texas issued an invitation for catalog discount bids on paint and painting supplies (PAINT2628, due September 29, 2026) with estimated expenditures of $10.3 million over a two-year term. The City of Madison, Wisconsin Community Development Authority released an RFB for the Karabis Apartments Painting and Siding Project (RFB #15051-0-2026-AH, due July 17, 2026), a Davis-Bacon-Act-compliant exterior painting and siding scope. Without additional recent opportunities that reflect the stainless steel tank commodity definition, current activity under this code appears limited or misaligned with the NIGP descriptor.
