NIGP 89017 Contaminated Groundwater Treatment Equipment, an Item code, encompasses water treatment chemicals, specialized membrane and filtration equipment, and associated services that state and local governments procure to address contaminant removal, system optimization, and regulatory compliance at water treatment plants, recycling facilities, and related infrastructure. Recent solicitations reveal purchasing activity centered on chilled water loop treatment services, reverse osmosis and microfiltration membranes, particle counter replacement, groundwater laboratory testing, water treatment chemicals, and equipment replacement for potable water and wastewater systems. Issuing bodies include municipal water utilities, county water resources departments, transit authorities managing cooling systems, and special-purpose water districts across multiple states. The mix spans water treatment plant operators managing compliance obligations, municipal water departments procuring treatment services on multi-year contracts, and utility facilities managing aging infrastructure replacement.
