NIGP 98154 Plumbing Equipment Rental or Lease, an Item code, covers on-call and emergency plumbing services, portable pump rentals for disaster response, and equipment rental on as-needed bases for municipalities, counties, transit authorities, and state-supported facilities. State and local governments are soliciting installation, alteration, and repair of plumbing and drainage systems; line cleaning and rootering; emergency response and call-out services; and contingency rental of trailer-mounted portable pumps for hurricane season operations. Issuing bodies include city planning and risk management divisions (Tucson), county commissioners (Pinal County, Hillsborough County), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), transit authorities (Orange County Transportation Authority), and community colleges (San Jacinto Community College District). Towns and municipalities also solicit on-call plumbing services for facilities maintenance (Town of Berlin, Connecticut).
