NIGP 00575 Recycled Abrasives Products And Supplies, Item code, encompasses scrap metal removal, recycled materials transportation, and related waste commodity services that state and local governments procure to generate revenue from accumulated materials or reduce disposal costs.

Issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners (Fulton County, Georgia; Pasco County, Florida; Cobb County, Georgia; Escambia County, Florida), school districts (Jones County Schools, Georgia), and special-purpose districts (Atlanta BeltLine, Inc.). The work involves vendor-supplied equipment such as roll-off containers and transfer trailers, labor for pickup and delivery, and compliance with local business registration, E-Verify, insurance, and performance bonding requirements.
