NIGP 16535: Disposal Units

NIGP 16535 Disposal Units, an Item code, covers waste and hazardous materials collection, transportation, and disposal services that state and local governments contract to manage residential, commercial, and household hazardous waste streams. The recent solicitations show concrete work: the City of New Smyrna Beach, Florida is procuring a ten-year residential and commercial solid waste management contract covering approximately 17,601 single-family and 5,988 multifamily units plus a substantial commercial base, with monthly tonnage averaging roughly 3,100 tons across residential, commercial, yard waste, and recycling streams; Temple Independent School District in Texas is sourcing kitchen equipment for a new cafeteria, which falls under facility disposal and waste management infrastructure; and the City of College Park, Georgia is seeking household hazardous waste collection and removal services including transport of paints, solvents, pesticides, automotive fluids, batteries, and cleaning chemicals to approved facilities. Issuing bodies span municipal governments (New Smyrna Beach, College Park), independent school districts (Temple ISD), and city procurement offices. None of the recent solicitations reference specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though the City of New Smyrna Beach notes MBE and MWBE disclosure requirements for subcontractors and Temple ISD encourages submission from MBEs, WBEs, and HUBs.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida, Texas, and Georgia. The City of New Smyrna Beach posted RFP 0226PW on April 16, 2026 with an April 2 response deadline, seeking exclusive waste management covering collection, transportation, and disposal with a ten-year contract term and potential ten-year renewal; the incumbent contractor Waste Pro currently manages approximately 1,414.51 tons monthly of residential solid waste. Temple ISD issued RFP00826 on March 2, 2026 with a March 25 response deadline for kitchen equipment and fixtures with October 2026 delivery; this is structured as a line-item bid allowing multiple vendor awards. The City of College Park, Georgia posted Request for Quote No. 26-38 on February 3, 2026 with a February 17 response deadline for household hazardous waste collection and removal, requiring lump-sum pricing with unit cost breakdowns for twelve hazardous material categories. All three solicitations specify insurance requirements ranging from $500,000 to $5,000,000 in various coverages and require vendor references and compliance documentation.
