NIGP 10037: Labels, Hazardous Material Container

NIGP 10037 Labels, Hazardous Material Container, an Item code, covers the procurement and disposal services for hazardous and universal waste generated by state and local governments, spanning pickup, transport, identification, inventorying, packing, marking, labeling, manifesting, and disposal of batteries, lamps, mercury-containing equipment, ballasts, electronic waste, aerosols, corrosives, flammables, pesticides, and other regulated materials. State and local solicitations under this code target counties, cities, and special-purpose transit and waste authorities seeking vendors with EPA Identification Numbers, state hazardous waste transporter registrations, and comprehensive insurance coverage (general liability, auto liability, workers' compensation, and pollution liability). Contractors must comply with RCRA, state environmental codes, OSHA standards, and applicable hazardous materials labeling and manifesting requirements; respond to pickup requests within 36 to 48 hours or agreed timeframes; and maintain personnel availability during normal business hours. Pricing includes transportation fees, environmental surcharges, labor, equipment, and analytical instruments; typical contracts run 36 months with optional renewal periods, and awards are made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder on a time-and-expense or unit-pricing basis.
