NIGP 88547: Dechlorinating Agents (Sulfur Dioxide, etc.)

NIGP 88547 Dechlorinating Agents (Sulfur Dioxide, Etc.), an Item code, covers specific equipment and chemical products used to remove residual chlorine from water systems in municipal and institutional settings. State and local governments procure dechlorinating diffusers, hoses, hitch assemblies, and related hardware for water treatment operations and specialized applications such as swimming pool maintenance. The soliciting bodies include water departments, school districts, and municipal utilities across multiple states seeking these components on a project or recurring basis through RFQ and ITB notice types.

Recent opportunities show dechlorinating equipment demand concentrated in Florida and Georgia. The City of Tampa Water Production issued RFQ 26P00599 on October 9, 2026, for Pollard Water dechlorinating diffusers, hoses, and hitches with quotes due October 15, 2026—a direct procurement of branded equipment components on a unit-cost basis with FOB Destination pricing. The School Board of Pinellas County, Florida, posted RFQ 25AM018 on September 28, 2026, seeking swimming pool chemicals including dechlorinating-adjacent compounds (calcium hypochlorite, muriatic acid, sodium hypochlorite) for five school locations with delivery through April 2027 and an estimated annual contract value of approximately $35,000. The City of Tucson posted RFP 240203 in August 2026 for swimming pool supplies and chemicals with a June 13, 2024, response deadline, requiring contractors with local storefronts capable of installation and maintenance services.

Activity is sparse and episodic; the code does not show sustained volume or frequent repeat procurement in the recent-opportunities record.
