NIGP 89024: Filtration Equipment and Accessories, Water

NIGP 89024 Filtration Equipment and Accessories, Water (Item) covers the supply, installation, maintenance, and repair of filtration systems and components for municipal water treatment, reclaimed water facilities, and pool operations. State and local governments currently procure sand filters, membrane systems, blend tanks, drive shafts, airlift materials, and replacement media under this code, along with turnkey installation and ongoing service contracts. Issuing bodies span water departments (municipal and county), school districts, regional water authorities, and state water agencies. Recent solicitations show water utilities dominating procurement activity, with routine sole-source awards to OEM-authorized representatives for equipment-specific parts and services where standardization across facilities drives operational continuity and regulatory compliance. Counties and cities also procure filtration upgrades at treatment plants through competitive construction-oriented IFBs when major capital projects are underway.

Recent activity concentrates heavily in Florida, California, and Texas. Collier County, Florida has issued multiple sealed bids for lime softening improvements and blend tank construction at the South County Regional Water Treatment Plant (Bid 26-8683R, due September 21, 2026, $4.27 million), while the City of Holly Hill, Florida procured a WesTech drive shaft replacement for its water treatment plant's softener unit ($113,067 sole source). Yale Public School District in Michigan solicited bids for a water purification system replacement at Avoca Elementary (due October 15, 2026). Dallas Independent School District issued an RFP for district-wide water treatment services with three-year terms, two one-year renewal options, and mandatory Small Business Enterprise participation weighting up to 20 percent (due October 15, 2026). West Basin Municipal Water District in Los Angeles County conducted a prequalification RFQ for submerged microfiltration membranes at the Edward C. Little Water Recycling Facility (SOQs due May 26, 2026). Bell County, Texas solicited bids for conventional water treatment plant filter gallery modifications, sandblasting, recoating, and piping reconfiguration ($2.25 million, due August 25, 2026). The California Department of Water Resources issued IFBs for comprehensive water treatment system services across State Water Project facilities (due August 18, 2026 for IFB #10220465 and June 9, 2026 for IFB 10214188, with prevailing wage and DVBE participation requirements). Sole-source procurements for OEM-authorized parts and maintenance dominate the landscape—Hillsborough County's five-year award to TSC Jacobs for water and wastewater parts and services ($4.93 million) and Purification Technologies for deionized water system maintenance ($76,530 over two years) exemplify this pattern.
