NIGP 83079: Tanks and Cylinders (Not Otherwise Classified)

NIGP 83079 Tanks And Cylinders (Not Otherwise Classified), an Item code, covers the rental, maintenance, testing, repair, refill, and removal of industrial and utility tanks and cylinders—boilers, steam generators, CO2 storage vessels, and underground fuel storage tanks—used by county facilities, municipal infrastructure, and public housing authorities. State and local buyers contract for routine inspection, certification, and emergency repair services; monthly tank rental and refill; and tank decommissioning and disposal. Issuing bodies include county operations divisions, municipal fire and public works departments, sheriff-coroner facilities, housing authorities, and county parks-and-recreation operations. Work typically requires vendor licensing or state certification, compliance with air quality or environmental regulations, prevailing wage obligations where applicable, and around-the-clock emergency availability for critical infrastructure like boiler systems.
