NIGP 96266: Petroleum Refining Services

NIGP 96266 Petroleum Refining Services is an Item code that captures state and local procurement of petroleum product refining, processing, and related technical services. However, the recent solicitations under this code do not align with its nominal definition — the two posted opportunities involve irrigation system installation and water/wastewater main engineering design, neither of which are petroleum refining activities. This disconnect suggests the code may be miscategorized in the source data, or the opportunities have been incorrectly tagged. Based on the actual work posted, this code is not currently being used for petroleum refining procurement by state and local governments in the available record.

The two opportunities present in the dataset originate from municipal jurisdictions in Florida and Texas. The City of DeBary, Florida posted an IFB (Solicitation 0315) for Rob Sullivan Park Irrigation Improvements with an April 10, 2015 bid deadline and a $90,000 engineer's estimate, requiring conversion of existing irrigation to a Hunter system with a 45-calendar-day completion window. The City of Dallas issued a qualification-based selection (CIZDWU26309310E) on July 30, 2026 for small and medium sized water and wastewater main designs at various locations, with qualification documents due September 18, 2026. Neither opportunity reflects procurement activity under the stated NIGP commodity definition, indicating either a tagging error in the source data or a significant gap between the code's historical purpose and current state and local buying patterns.
