NIGP 18081: Recycled Chemical Raw Materials

NIGP 18081 Recycled Chemical Raw Materials, an Item code, encompasses chemical treatment products and waste disposal materials that state and local governments procure for utility operations, environmental compliance, and maintenance programs. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring boiler and heat-recovery steam generator treatment chemicals with associated consultation services for power plant operations, sludge hauling and liquid waste disposal from wastewater treatment facilities, and herbicides, fertilizers, and pesticides for grounds maintenance—reflecting a mix of industrial chemical management, environmental remediation, and operational support. Issuing bodies include municipal utilities, regional water authorities, and county governments; the City of Tallahassee, Brazos River Authority, and Pasco County have posted opportunities under this code in the past four months.

Activity concentrates in Florida and Texas. The City of Tallahassee issued RFP 09126RR on July 27, 2026, for power plant chemical treatment programs at the A. B. Hopkins and Sam O. Purdom Generating Stations, with proposals due August 31, 2026, covering boiler and HRSG treatment chemicals plus consultation and advisory services for safe plant operation. The Brazos River Authority posted RFB 26-1389 on May 28, 2026, for sludge hauling and liquid waste disposal services across four Sugar Land wastewater treatment facilities, with sealed bids due May 28, 2026, at 10:00 a.m., seeking per-ton pricing for belt-pressed sludge and per-gallon pricing for liquid waste across an estimated 13,000+ annual tons over a potential five-year contract term. Pasco County, Florida, issued IFB-SP-26-074 on May 12, 2026, for as-needed herbicides, fertilizers, and pesticides deliverable to two county maintenance facilities, with bids due June 16, 2026, at 1:30 p.m. ET on a contract running through September 30, 2029, with two optional one-year extensions.
