NIGP 89022: Desalination Equipment, Water Treatment

NIGP 89022 Desalination Equipment, Water Treatment is an Item code covering the replacement parts, chemical treatment services, treatment chemicals, and infrastructure improvements that state and local water utilities procure to operate and maintain potable and recirculated water systems. Recent solicitations show municipalities buying replacement drive shaft assemblies for softener equipment, comprehensive chemical treatment programs for chilled water and cooling tower systems, bulk quantities of treatment chemicals such as activated carbon and aluminum sulfate, and clearwell construction to expand storage and treatment capacity. The issuing bodies are municipal water utilities and convention centers — the City of Holly Hill, Florida; Tampa Convention Center; City of LaGrange, Georgia; and City of Cumming, Georgia — acquiring these services and products through sole-source procurements, sealed competitive bids, and design-build RFPs based on the complexity and specificity of the need.

Activity concentrates in Florida and Georgia, with the most recent opportunities posted between April and October 2026. The City of Holly Hill procured a $113,067 replacement drive shaft unit and installation services for softener #2 through sole-source procurement in September 2026. Tampa Convention Center solicited bids in August 2026 for comprehensive water treatment services including chemical feed equipment and monitoring for its central chilled water and cooling tower systems, with an SBE participation component. The City of LaGrange, Georgia issued a sealed bid on May 2026 for bulk water treatment chemicals — powdered activated carbon, aluminum sulfate, sodium chlorite, chlorine, and caustic soda — with delivery required within two days of request and firm pricing for twelve months. The City of Cumming, Georgia released an RFP in April 2026 for the PWPF Phase 2 Clearwell Improvements construction project, requiring a mandatory pre-proposal conference on May 12, 2026, and proposals due June 26, 2026; the scope includes a six-million-gallon clearwell, electrical building, yard piping, and access road with full performance and payment bonds required.
