NIGP 10034: Holders and Containers, Compost

NIGP 10034 Holders and Containers, Compost, an Item code, encompasses the purchase and maintenance of specialized containers and equipment used in composting operations by state and local governments. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring climate-controlled storage containers and securing long-term maintenance and parts support for proprietary composting equipment—specifically windrow machines and separating screens used in landfill composting programs. The issuing bodies reflect a mix of county-level environmental and waste-management agencies, with procurement ranging from one-time equipment purchases to multi-year sole-source service contracts for mission-critical composting infrastructure.

Recent activity appears concentrated in Florida, where Hillsborough County posted a notice of intent to award a five-year maintenance and parts contract valued at $1,992,824.18 to Powerscreen of Florida, Inc. for Komptech composting equipment operated at the SE Landfill in Tampa—covering scheduled maintenance, repairs, and component replacement on one Cribus 3800 separating screen and two Topturn X63 windrow machines with labor estimated at $520,000 and parts at approximately $1,466,774.18. Gwinnett County, Georgia solicited bids for a single climate-controlled container in October 2026 under an IFB (PE77023NONST2027000000779) with a response deadline of October 13, 2026. The Florida sole-source procurement was open to challenge through June 25, 2026, allowing potential competitors to demonstrate capability to supply proprietary parts and services; absent successful challenges, the award to the incumbent authorized dealer was expected to proceed.
