NIGP 89086: Water Systems, Ultra Pure

NIGP 89086 Water Systems, Ultra Pure is an Item code covering replacement parts, maintenance services, and system components for specialized water treatment equipment that produces ultra-pure water for laboratory, industrial, and municipal applications. State and local governments procure under this code for reverse osmosis systems, deionized water equipment, UV sterilization components, water softening drives, and related consumable parts and labor—typically for water treatment plants, universities, and county environmental testing facilities that require certified Type I water for analytical compliance or process applications where contamination poses regulatory or operational risk.

Recent solicitations span diverse issuing bodies including state agencies (State of Utah Division of Wildlife Resources), counties (Hillsborough County, Madison County), cities (Holly Hill, LaGrange, Oregon Department of Forestry), and higher education (Texas State University). Hillsborough County posted a sole-source maintenance contract for deionized water systems serving water and wastewater testing, estimated at $76,530 over two years with response due July 14, 2026, while Texas State University is seeking RFP responses for reverse osmosis and deionized water systems maintenance and services due August 10, 2026. The State of Utah issued an IFB on February 25, 2026 (response deadline March 11, 2026) for a five-year contract covering UV sterilization replacement parts across multiple fish hatcheries, with anticipated multiple contract awards based on lowest-cost responsive bids. Activity in the most recent six months appears in Texas, Georgia, Florida, Oregon, and Utah, with procurement types ranging from competitive IFBs to sole-source notices and RFPs, reflecting both routine maintenance renewal and equipment replacement driven by age (systems installed as early as 2008) or specialized facility requirements.
