NIGP 83064: Steel Tanks, Surface Storage Type (for Asphalt, Emulsions, Road Oil, Water, etc.)

NIGP 83064 Steel Tanks, Surface Storage Type (For Asphalt, Emulsions, Road Oil, Water, Etc.), an Item code, covers ground and vertical storage tanks for water systems, asphalt and bituminous materials, and fleet fueling infrastructure procured by state departments, water utilities, counties, and municipalities. State and local buyers under this code purchase fabricated steel storage tanks in capacities ranging from small horizontal polyethylene tanks to large vertical asphalt tanks and frac tank trailers, along with associated pumping and electrical systems. Recent solicitations show demand for both single-purpose tanks—such as the 30,000-gallon ground storage tank for drinking water infrastructure—and multi-use fleet fueling systems tied to public works operations. Issuing bodies include state transportation departments, water utilities, county public works offices, and city engineering departments, with procurement structured as sealed bids, formal IFBs, and indefinite-quantity or pick-up arrangements that allow multiple agencies to purchase under a single award.

Geographic activity spans the South and Southwest, with recent opportunities posted from Mississippi (Lewisburg Water Association seeking a 30,000-gallon drinking water tank under state revolving loan funding), New Mexico (City of Rio Rancho reconstructing channels that may require tank infrastructure), Georgia (Gilmer County resurfacing roads where bituminous material storage may be needed), Kentucky (City of Owensboro issuing a pick-up contract for bituminous paving materials), and Texas (the State Comptroller issuing an IFB with TxDOT as a major customer for polyethylene and vertical asphalt storage tanks with multiple electrical configurations and 500-barrel frac tank trailers). The Texas Comptroller's IFB (304T26830A11), posted June 23, 2026 with bids due April 23, 2026, encompasses eleven line items across polyethylene tanks, 8,000-gallon vertical asphalt tanks, and 21,000-gallon frac tank trailers with statewide delivery and a contract term through June 30, 2027 with renewal options through 2030. American Iron and Steel compliance applies to the Mississippi water tank project due to state revolving loan funding. All respondents must provide firm fixed pricing on a per-unit basis, minimum one-year warranties, and proof of commercial general liability coverage, with pricing open to state preferences including Texas-based suppliers and energy-efficient products where applicable.
