NIGP 92666: Oil/Water Separator Inspection and Testing Services

NIGP 92666 Oil/Water Separator Inspection and Testing Services is an Item code capturing laboratory analysis and condition assessment services for insulating oils and fluids used in electrical equipment. State and local governments procuring under this code are primarily electric utilities and municipal water and wastewater authorities conducting periodic testing of power transformers, load tap changers, voltage regulators, and related oil-filled infrastructure. The work involves dissolved gas analysis, furan analysis, moisture testing, PCB analysis, and transformer fault interpretation performed by accredited laboratories operating specialized equipment and information management systems. Issuing bodies include municipal electric utilities (Lubbock Power & Light, Keys Energy Services in Key West), municipal water and wastewater departments (City of Atlanta's Department of Watershed Management), and city and county public works and utility boards. Testing is typically procured as multi-year contracts with annual sampling schedules or on-call service vehicles, often structured with firm fixed pricing subject to Consumer Price Index adjustments.

Recent solicitations cluster in Texas, Florida, and Georgia. Lubbock Power & Light issued RFP 713126ELD on June 18, 2026 (due July 22, 2026) for annual insulating oil testing laboratory services covering approximately 150 pieces of oil-filled equipment across 20 substations, requiring ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation, five years of documented utility experience, and integration with the utility's Delta-X TOA4 database system. Keys Energy Services (City of Key West) posted two parallel RFPs in April 2026—one due February 20 and another due April 17, 2026—for electrical insulating oil testing of 28 power transformer main tank units, 13 load tap changer compartments, and 10 voltage regulators, with three-year base terms and two optional one-year renewals. The City of Atlanta's Department of Watershed Management announced a pre-advertisement notice on April 1, 2026 (due May 1, 2026) for on-call diving services including underwater inspection and repair, which encompasses structural and mechanical assessment work in deep utility infrastructure. Geographic activity is limited to Texas, Florida, and Georgia in the recent record; no opportunities appear in other regions.
