Used Gas Meter Refurbishment Program RFI, Control #4191

The Used Gas Meter Refurbishment Program RFI (Control #4191) has been issued by an organization based in Tennessee, likely a municipal or investor-owned gas utility. This Request for Information seeks to gather market intelligence from qualified vendors regarding the refurbishment of used gas meters. The purpose is to understand industry capabilities, processes, and costs associated with restoring used meters to like-new condition, including testing, calibration, repair, and recertification. The RFI will inform a potential future solicitation for a comprehensive refurbishment program.

Vendors are expected to provide detailed information on their experience with similar programs, refurbishment methodologies, quality control measures, turnaround times, and pricing models. The scope may cover various meter types, sizes, and manufacturers. The issuing organization is interested in understanding whether vendors can handle the volume of meters expected, logistics for collection and return, and compliance with applicable standards and regulations. Additionally, the RFI may request information on data management, warranty offerings, and environmental practices.

Key dates for this RFI include a publication date of August 6, 2026, and a submission deadline of August 20, 2026, at 2:00 PM EDT. No other milestones such as pre-bid conferences or question deadlines are specified in the visible public summary. The full solicitation details, including technical specifications and submission instructions, are locked behind a registration wall on the e-procurement platform. Interested vendors must register on the BidNet Direct Tennessee Purchasing Group portal to access the complete documents.

This is an information-gathering exercise only and does not constitute a formal bid or commitment to procure. Responses will be used to evaluate the market and potentially develop a future competitive solicitation. Vendors with capabilities in gas meter refurbishment, testing, and logistics are encouraged to respond.
