About NIGP 96818
NIGP 96818 Back Flow Preventer Testing Services, an Item code, encompasses annual inspections, diagnostic testing, and certification of backflow prevention devices across municipal water systems, transit facilities, and utility infrastructure—work state and local governments solicit to ensure regulatory compliance and protect public water supply integrity. Recent solicitations show municipalities and utility commissions procuring testing services for double-check valves, reduced-pressure-zone devices, and pressure-vacuum breakers ranging from residential sizes (5/8 inch) to large commercial and industrial assemblies (up to 12 inches), with scope often bundled with annual repair, maintenance, and parts replacement. Testing must comply with AWWA Manual M-14, California Code of Regulations Title 17, or Florida Administrative Code Rule 62-555.360 depending on jurisdiction.
The issuing-body mix spans cities (Fort Myers, Bradenton, DeBary), county utility commissions and transportation authorities (Orlando Utilities Commission, Orange County Transportation Authority, Volusia County, Gwinnett County, Forsyth County), and special-purpose districts. Orlando Utilities Commission and Orange County Transportation Authority each appear multiple times in recent solicitations. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Fort Myers ITB 26-047 for testing of approximately 7,000 to 8,000 backflow devices citywide by December 31, 2026 (bids due June 22, 2026); the Orlando Utilities Commission RFP PR 9186 for testing and repair of approximately 46,000 residential and 18,000 commercial backflow devices (proposals due July 8, 2026, with Addendum No. 1 issued June 24, 2026); and Volusia County IFB 26-B-75JJ for testing and certification of approximately 157 backflow devices across county-owned facilities (bids due July 15, 2026, with a local preference of up to 5% for specified Florida counties). Contracts typically run three to five years with annual renewal options.
