NIGP 89064: Sewer Inspection Equipment

NIGP 89064 Sewer Inspection Equipment, an Item code, covers non-entry visual inspection systems and allied equipment that state and local governments deploy to assess sewer and stormwater infrastructure condition without confined-space entry. Recent solicitations show municipalities procuring manhole inspection camera systems with cloud-based software integration, color video pipeline inspection platforms paired with sewer cleaning units and parts supply, CCTV recording and reporting services, flow monitoring equipment with hosted data management, and maintenance or repair services for existing inspection assets. State and local buyers include city water and wastewater utilities (Atlanta, Phoenix, Dallas, St. Petersburg), county water and sewer departments (Forsyth County Georgia, Jackson County Missouri), special-purpose utility districts (Santa Clara County Sanitation District, Jackson County Utility Authority), and regional authorities across Florida, Georgia, Texas, Colorado, and Oregon. Equipment specifications frequently mandate cloud or web-based data platforms with GIS and asset-management system integration, IP68-rated high-resolution cameras with 18+ hour battery life, GPS and LTE connectivity, parts availability within 24–72 hours, and AI-assisted defect recognition compliant with NASSCO MACP coding standards.

Representative recent opportunities include the City of Atlanta Department of Watershed Management soliciting color video pipeline inspection systems, lateral launch systems, push camera inspection systems, and PipeLogix software licensing and support under an IFB with a question deadline of October 30, 2026; the City of Phoenix requesting vactor services with submersible pumps, jet rodding, and CCTV recording documentation under a five-year requirements contract with offers due October 19, 2026; Forsyth County, Georgia's RFP 27-19-3320 for comprehensive sanitary sewer flow monitoring services across approximately 640 miles of gravity sewer main and 19,400 manholes, with proposals due October 15, 2026 and a five-year contract term beginning January 1, 2027; and the City of St. Petersburg requesting quotes for a single manhole inspection camera system supporting 19,406 collection system manholes, with two-year warranty required and encouragement of small business enterprise, women business enterprise, and minority business enterprise participation. Contracts typically run three to five years with performance and parts-delivery metrics, bond requirements on awards exceeding $50,000–$100,000, insurance requirements of $1–2 million commercial general liability, and DBE or SBE participation encouraged where federal or state funding applies.
