NIGP 84519: Flash Point Tester (Closed and Open Cup)

NIGP 84519 Flash Point Tester (Closed And Open Cup), an Item code, covers the procurement of specialized laboratory equipment used to measure the flash point of flammable liquids and combustible materials. State and local governments purchasing under this code acquire automated flash point testers—particularly Cleveland Open Cup models—primarily for materials testing divisions within transportation departments, where such equipment is essential for quality assurance and compliance testing of fuels, asphalt, and other petroleum products used in highway construction and maintenance. The purchasing mix skews heavily toward state transportation agencies, which operate centralized materials testing laboratories.

The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) represents the most visible recent buyer, soliciting two Automated Cleveland Open Cup Flash Point Testers in May 2026 through an IFB posted on the Euna Procurement platform (formerly Bonfire). TxDOT Materials and Tests Division bid deadline was May 14, 2026, with responses submitted through the TxDOT Procurement Portal; TxDOT uses the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Centralized Master Bidders List (CMBL) for vendor selection and requires vendors to register and maintain current NIGP code registrations. No incumbent vendors were identified in the notice, and no budget range was disclosed. The available source reflects activity limited to Texas, with no documentation of concurrent solicitations in other states or jurisdictions.
