NIGP 04530: Disposal Units

NIGP 04530 Disposal Units, an Item code, covers the procurement of waste and hazardous material collection, transport, and disposal services by state and local jurisdictions—including household hazardous waste collection events, school district garbage and waste removal across multiple facilities, and law enforcement equipment recovery operations. State and local governments soliciting under this code span school districts, cities, counties, and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple jurisdictions and public entities across the United States and Canada. The work involves not only container selection and regular pickup scheduling but also compliance documentation, safety protocols, public education, and specialized handling of materials such as paints, solvents, pesticides, batteries, and cleaning chemicals requiring transport to licensed disposal or recycling facilities.

Recent activity includes Box Elder School District issuing RFP NS26-77 for garbage disposal and waste removal services across 24 school locations with a response date of February 17, 2026; the City of College Park, Georgia posting RFQ 26-38 for household hazardous waste collection and removal with a response deadline of February 17, 2026; and Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle, issuing RFP #061626 on behalf of multiple Washington counties and nationwide participating entities to establish a law enforcement equipment contracting solution with a June 16, 2026 response date. Geographic activity centers on the mountain west (Utah, Washington state) and Southeast (Georgia), with the Sourcewell cooperative extending reach across the United States and Canada. Vendors pursuing this code must typically carry commercial general liability insurance of $1,000,000 to $2,000,000 per occurrence, demonstrate three or more years of relevant experience with verifiable client references, and meet state licensing and registration requirements including E-Verify compliance where applicable.
