NIGP 89074: Transmitters (Pressure, Flow, Level, etc.)

NIGP 89074 Transmitters (Pressure, Flow, Level, Etc.), an Item code, encompasses instrumentation hardware that state and local water utilities procure to measure and monitor flow, pressure, and level across treatment, distribution, and wastewater collection systems. Recent solicitations show municipal water departments and county water resources agencies buying pressure transmitters, flow controllers, level transmitters, and water meters—often as individual units or small batches to replace aging infrastructure or support system automation and monitoring.

Water utilities dominate the issuing-body mix: the City of Dallas Water Utilities, City of Lubbock Water Utilities, City of Tampa Water Department, Collier County Public Utilities Department, Hillsborough County Water Resources Department, and the Texas Water Development Board have posted activity within the last six months. Single-source and sole-source procurements are frequent, reflecting reliance on OEM-authorized resellers (Endress+Hauser, Additel, DXP Enterprises, Empire Pipe & Supply) and integrated system requirements. Texas—particularly Dallas and Lubbock—shows the highest concentration of recent activity, followed by Florida jurisdictions. The City of Dallas posted at least four separate transmitter and meter solicitations (informal bids for pressure transmitters, level transmitters, and process alarm panels) between January and May 2026. Representative opportunities include the Texas Water Development Board's competitive IFB 580-26-IFB-5138 (April 27, 2026 deadline) for eight configurations of SDI-12 stainless steel pressure transducers totaling 20 units to meet water-level measurement specifications; the City of Lubbock's RFP 26-19615-YB (May 28, 2026) for in-line water flow meter repair and rebuild services across 176 public supply wells and 26 irrigation wells; and Collier County's single-source notice (June 12, 2026) for Master Meter Octave Series water meters to measure reclaimed water usage on non-potable service connections. Pricing is typically firm for 30 to 60 days, delivery is FOB destination or site, and many municipal procurement offices emphasize product conformance to AWWA standards and existing equipment compatibility.
