NIGP 91179: Gas Contracts

NIGP 91179 Gas Contracts, an Item code, encompasses natural gas supply delivery, gas infrastructure installation and relocation, propane tank service, and digester gas utilization projects solicited by state and local water authorities, utility districts, municipalities, and county fire rescue services. State and local governments under this code are buying ongoing natural gas supply to treatment and reclamation facilities under multi-year contracts priced against commodity indices; installation and relocation of gas main lines and wellhead assemblies to regulatory specification; propane tank provisioning, maintenance, and emergency response across distributed facility networks; and design-build-finance-own-operate-maintain agreements to convert biogas into renewable natural gas. Recent opportunities span utility districts and municipal water departments (Eastern Municipal Water District in California, City of Palm Bay in Florida, Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners), fire rescue services (Marion County Fire Rescue), and municipal gas systems (City of Cartersville Gas System), reflecting the diversity of end-user departments within state and local jurisdictions that consume or manage gas resources. Issuing bodies include special-purpose water and sewer authorities, county boards, city utilities, and independent fire service departments.

Activity concentrates in Florida and Georgia, with one significant California procurement. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Cartersville Gas System's sealed-bid natural gas main relocation project (Solicitation PE60899NONST2027000000078, due August 10, 2026) requiring Georgia utility contractor licensure and federal pipeline compliance; Hillsborough County's five-year natural gas supply agreement for its Northwest Regional Water Reclamation Facility (ITB-26-00189, due April 3, 2026, estimated contract value $8,946,163.63); Marion County Fire Rescue's propane tank installation and maintenance procurement across 32 facilities (26P-064, due April 30, 2026, evaluated on service reliability, emergency response, and cost); and Eastern Municipal Water District's long-term Digester Gas Utilization Project RFP (Solicitation 3900, due April 14, 2026, with mandatory pre-proposal meeting March 9, 2026, and site tours March 18–19, 2026) to convert biogas at three regional water reclamation facilities with contract execution anticipated October 2026 and substantial completion by June 2029.
