NIGP 89081: Water Main Cleaning Equipment

NIGP 89081 Water Main Cleaning Equipment is an Item code under which state and local governments procure replacement components, installation services, and design-build improvements for water treatment plant infrastructure, though recent activity reflects a broader scope than the code name suggests. The City of Holly Hill, Florida procured a WesTech DS43 Dual Shaft Drive replacement unit with turnkey installation for softener #2 at its Water Treatment Plant through sole source procurement, a $113,067 project funded from a capital water main replacement budget. The City of Sanford, Florida issued an RFQ for design-build services to improve its Main Water Treatment Plant by removing 1,4-Dioxane and PFASs through ultraviolet light advanced oxidation process, granular activated carbon vessels, and storage tanks, with an estimated total budget of $48.5 million across two phases and qualifications due December 11, 2025. Issuing bodies under this code span municipal water utilities and county water authorities in Florida, with recent solicitations including both routine equipment replacement and large-scale treatment facility modernization.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida, where Orange County issued an IFB for the Horizon West Trail Phase 1A project ($5.7 million estimated value including approximately 400 linear feet of 12-inch water main replacement) with bids due August 20, 2026, and Pasco County solicited design services for a sewer force main along Sunlake Boulevard with proposals due August 11, 2026. Outside Florida, the City of LaGrange, Georgia issued a sealed-bid solicitation on May 7, 2026 for water and wastewater treatment chemicals (powdered activated carbon, liquid aluminum sulfate, liquid sodium chlorite, liquid chlorine, sodium bisulfite, soda ash, ferric chloride, and caustic soda) for fiscal year 2026–2027, with bids due June 8, 2026. Municipal utilities and water authorities dominate the issuing-body mix, with no special set-aside designations or disadvantaged-enterprise restrictions evident in the recent opportunities; service Disabled Veteran Business enterprises are eligible for a 3 to 8 percent bid preference on Orange County's trail project.
