NIGP 98182: Weather Instrument, Equipment, and Accessory, Rental or Lease

NIGP 98182 Weather Instrument, Equipment, and Accessory, Rental or Lease (Item) covers the rental or lease of meteorological monitoring equipment and related instruments used by state and local agencies for weather observation, atmospheric data collection, and environmental monitoring. State and local governments use this code to acquire temporary or ongoing access to weather stations, anemometers, barometers, rain gauges, thermometers, humidity sensors, and associated data-logging equipment without capital outlay. Issuing bodies include state environmental and natural-resources departments, county emergency-management and public-works offices, municipalities, airport authorities, and transit agencies that require weather data for operational safety, compliance monitoring, or emergency response. Rental and lease arrangements allow agencies to deploy equipment seasonally, supplement permanent monitoring networks during peak-demand periods, or evaluate instruments before purchase commitments.
