NIGP 98149: Irrigation Systems Rental or Lease (see 975-08 for Farm Type)

NIGP 98149 Irrigation Systems Rental Or Lease is an Item code under which state and local governments procure smart commercial irrigation control systems, component upgrades, control panels, and traveling sprinkler equipment—both the hardware and the ancillary installation, programming, training, and support services required to deploy and maintain these systems at landscape and turf facilities. Recent solicitations reflect a mix of controller upgrades to existing infrastructure, replacement of control equipment, purchase of new sprinkler systems, and general irrigation service contracts. Issuing bodies include state authorities managing large public facilities (Georgia World Congress Center Authority), cities managing municipal grounds and housing stock (City of Pembroke Pines, City of Richardson, Fort Worth Housing Solutions), and special-purpose housing authorities. The work spans system design and installation, equipment procurement through authorized manufacturers, programming and integration with existing infrastructure, testing and commissioning, training, and ongoing support contracts that include communications and data plans.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and South-Central United States, with significant procurement in Georgia and Texas, and isolated activity in Florida.
