About NIGP 96858
NIGP 96858 Meter Reading Services is an Item code encompassing the procurement of meter reading labor, equipment, software, and billing audit services that state and local water and sewer utilities purchase to monitor customer consumption and revenue. Recent solicitations show governments buying diverse work under this code: meter installation and infrastructure upgrades (advanced metering infrastructure systems and irrigation meter conversions), meter equipment supply and rebuilding, meter reading service contracts, performance-based billing audits tied to revenue recovery, and system maintenance and parts for established meter platforms. The issuing bodies are predominantly municipal water utilities and county utility systems—the City of DeBary and City of Holly Hill in Florida, Okaloosa County (Florida), the City of Gautier (Mississippi), Gwinnett County (Georgia), Marion County Utilities (Florida), and Collier County (Florida)—reflecting the code's primary use for operational and capital work in municipal water service delivery.
Geographic activity clusters in Florida and the Southeast, with recent solicitations from Florida (three utilities), Mississippi, Georgia, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County, Georgia's multi-year IFB for meter reading services on water, wastewater, and stormwater meters (due July 31, 2026); the City of Gautier, Mississippi's sealed-bid ITB for advanced metering infrastructure replacement of approximately 8,000 water meters with installation and startup (bids due August 6, 2026); Okaloosa County, Florida's performance-based RFP for a billing audit of 34,000+ water and sewer accounts with compensation tied to documented revenue recovery (proposals due July 15, 2026); and the City of Holly Hill, Florida's sole-source notice for Badger Meter water metering equipment and software including BEACON SaaS and ORION Endpoints (seven-day public notice period ending March 20, 2026). The code shows active procurement across repair and supply, staffing and services, and capital system replacement, with mixed award vehicles ranging from open competitive bidding to sole-source designations for proprietary equipment integration.
