NIGP 15570: Portable Toilets

NIGP 15570 Portable Toilets, an Item code, encompasses rental, delivery, maintenance, and servicing of portable sanitation and hygiene facilities — standard and ADA-compliant units, handwashing stations, portable showers, and specialized facilities such as restroom trailers and sleeper trailers — deployed for routine municipal operations, special events, emergency response, and disaster recovery. State and local governments solicit under this code to support park facilities, sporting events, construction sites, emergency shelters, and continuity-of-operations programs, with service frequencies ranging from daily to monthly and response-time requirements as tight as four hours for emergency deployments. Cities, counties, water districts, and state departments all procure here; recent activity shows repeat buying from municipalities in Florida (Volusia County, City of Daytona Beach, City of Tampa), Texas (City of Austin, twice in recent months), Ohio (Cuyahoga County), California (Eastern Municipal Water District), and Connecticut (City of New Haven), alongside solicitations from Hall County Georgia, the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, and the City of Indianapolis. Winning vendors typically maintain minimum inventory levels (Indianapolis requires 75 units on hand, with 75 percent ADA-compliant), demonstrate 24/7 emergency availability with specified response times, carry $1,000,000 or higher general liability and auto liability coverage, and price all-inclusive with no separate charges for fuel, mileage, overhead, or administrative fees.
