NIGP 95887: Storage Tank Management Services

NIGP 95887 Storage Tank Management Services, an Item code, covers the testing, inspection, repair, maintenance, and construction of petroleum and water storage tanks for state and local governments. State and local agencies are soliciting for operational and capital services under this code: testing and inspection of underground and aboveground storage tanks (USTs and ASTs) for regulatory compliance; repair and corrosion-control painting of petroleum storage systems; condition assessment and maintenance of water storage tanks; and design-build or construction of new elevated water storage tanks and fleet fueling systems. Issuing bodies include city governments (Rome and Marietta, Georgia; Lubbock and College Park, Texas), county governments (Sarasota County, Florida; Athens-Clarke County, Georgia), and municipal utilities departments. Work scopes range from routine compliance testing of dozens of tanks distributed across county facilities to major capital replacement and new-construction projects for water infrastructure. Sarasota County is a standout repeat buyer, with four related solicitations posted within a six-week window (May through June 2026) for testing, repair, and corrosion-control services across 152 county-owned petroleum storage tanks.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Georgia, with additional opportunities in Texas. Representative solicitations include Sarasota County's Invitation for Quotes 262871MKM for petroleum storage tank testing and inspection services covering 152 USTs and ASTs across county facilities (quotes due June 19, 2026, with a $150,000 annual spending cap); Athens-Clarke County's sealed-bid procurement (BID 26028) for water storage tank condition assessment and maintenance on eight tanks ranging from 500,000 to 3.5 million gallons (due April 13, 2026, estimated $500,000–$750,000); the City of Lubbock's RFP for a 2.0 million gallon elevated composite water storage tank design and construction with $12 million estimated budget (due February 19, 2026); and the City of Marietta's sealed-bid solicitation for Pine Mountain Tank Replacement, a five-million-gallon prestressed concrete tank with demolition of the existing 4.3-million-gallon tank (due February 24, 2026). Sarasota County's solicitations require contractors to maintain comprehensive insurance including Pollution Liability coverage ($1 million per claim), demonstrating environmental compliance focus typical of petroleum storage work. Competitive intensity varies: Athens-Clarke County restricted bidding to three pre-qualified vendors only (American Tank Maintenance, Razorback Unlimited, and Utility Service Co.), while municipal water infrastructure projects in Texas and Georgia remain open to all qualified proposers meeting bonding, insurance, and experience thresholds.
