NIGP 94130: Cathodic Protection Services

NIGP 94130 Cathodic Protection Services, an Item code, encompasses corrosion-control system design, installation, inspection, and repair work for municipal water and flood-control infrastructure. State and local governments use this code to procure cathodic protection system surveys, inspections, repairs, and full system installation as component services within larger water-main and flood-mitigation projects. The issuing bodies soliciting under the code include municipal water utilities (City of Dallas Water Utilities Department), county flood-control districts (Harris County Flood Control District), and cities undertaking comprehensive infrastructure rehabilitation (City of Henderson, City of Fort Worth). The work is typically bundled as one line item or unit within larger construction projects rather than solicited as a standalone service, though some jurisdictions are establishing multi-year ID/IQ agreements for recurring inspection and survey work.

Texas municipalities dominate recent activity in this code space. The City of Dallas posted an ID/IQ service price agreement on May 14, 2026 (due June 19, 2026) for thirty-six-month annual cathodic protection system surveys and inspections to be ordered on an as-needed basis by Dallas Water Utilities; the procurement includes SBE utilization requirements, local participation commitments, and workforce impact plans. Harris County Flood Control District solicited cathodic protection repairs as part of a sheet-pile repair project under ITB 260164 (due June 29, 2026), with deliverables and performance standards not detailed in available materials. The City of Henderson and City of Fort Worth each released IFBs for integrated infrastructure projects (Project Number 102185) in which cathodic protection systems represent a single lump-sum line item within water-main improvement units budgeted at $350,000 each; Henderson's IFB closed April 2, 2026, while Fort Worth's pre-bid conference occurred February 9, 2026 with final bid submission February 26, 2026. None of the recent solicitations disclosed contract award values, though the Fort Worth and Henderson projects identified $750,000 total project budgets across all three units.
