NIGP 10037: Labels, Hazardous Material Container

NIGP 10037 Labels, Hazardous Material Container, an Item code, encompasses removal, recycling, and disposal services for universal waste and household hazardous waste streams, including batteries, fluorescent and LED lamps, mercury-containing equipment, ballasts, electronic waste, aerosols, pesticides, paints, motor oil, antifreeze, and propane tanks. State and local governments procure these services to manage hazardous materials collected at transportation facilities, recycling centers, and transfer stations in compliance with federal and state environmental regulations. Issuing bodies include transit authorities, cities, and special-purpose districts operating solid waste and recycling infrastructure. Work is performed on an as-needed or scheduled basis and includes pickup, transportation, treatment, storage, disposal facility operations, documentation and compliance tracking, on-call staff support and training, and coordination of community collection events.

Recent activity spans California and New Mexico. The Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) solicited universal waste removal and recycling services via RFQ (Solicitation 250390, due July 21, 2026) covering five facilities in Southern California with a three-year contract budget of $65,100 and award based on lowest cost. The City of Santa Fe, on behalf of the Santa Fe Solid Waste Management Agency, issued an RFP (FY26RFP048, due February 4, 2026) for household hazardous waste collection services at the Buckman Road Recycling and Transfer Station, with evaluation weighted 40 percent pricing, 45 percent scope and expertise, 5 percent value added, and 10 percent interview performance, and offering preference points for New Mexico–resident businesses and local vendors. Both procurements emphasize compliance with federal and state hazardous waste regulations, insurance requirements (including pollution liability), and responsive, responsible contractor selection.
