NIGP 91363: Lime Slurry Removal Services

NIGP 91363 Lime Slurry Removal Services, an Item code, addresses specialized treatment and disposal of lime-based residuals from water treatment operations. State and local governments procure lime slaking system maintenance, replacement parts, and OEM-authorized service through this code—work that keeps municipal water treatment plants operational and compliant with state and federal water quality standards. The issuing bodies are primarily municipal utilities and special districts in Florida managing potable water systems, particularly in Central Florida jurisdictions where lime softening remains a standard treatment method.

Recent solicitations concentrate in Florida, specifically in Volusia County and Orange County areas where municipal water utilities operate established lime treatment infrastructure. The City of Holly Hill, Florida posted sole-source procurements for both Chemco Systems L.P. lime slaking systems and Andritz Separation, Inc. replacement components (pumps, brushes, spray nozzles for a Heavy Duty Belt Press Model Pilgrim 2.2M EG-5 separator) in July 2026, both restricted to original equipment manufacturers due to proprietary system design and compatibility requirements that prevent interchangeable vendor substitution. These sole-source notices—NIGP 91363's dominant signal in the recent record—reflect the technical lock-in typical of specialized water treatment infrastructure: municipalities cannot switch vendors mid-stream without replacing entire system suites. Work is performed at municipal water treatment facilities, principally in Central Florida. No open competitive opportunities under this code appear in the recent record; all activity flows through OEM-authorized channels and sole-source procurement vehicles, indicating minimal opportunity for non-incumbent vendors absent system replacement or facility expansion projects.
