NIGP 18081: Recycled Chemical Raw Materials

NIGP 18081 Recycled Chemical Raw Materials, an Item code, encompasses the hauling, disposal, and delivery of waste byproducts and chemical materials from municipal and regional water-treatment facilities and county maintenance operations. State and local governments buy sludge hauling and liquid waste disposal services from wastewater treatment plants, as well as bulk herbicides, fertilizers, and pesticides for county grounds maintenance—materials that may incorporate recycled or reclaimed chemical inputs. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include regional water authorities (such as the Brazos River Authority in Texas) and county public-works departments (such as Pasco County, Florida), each managing substantial ongoing procurement of disposal and chemical-delivery services to support treatment infrastructure and landscape maintenance across multiple facilities.

The Brazos River Authority issued a Request for Bids in May 2026 for sludge hauling and liquid waste disposal supporting four Sugar Land wastewater treatment plants, with belt-pressed sludge volumes reaching approximately 13,000 tons annually and monthly invoicing on a per-ton basis, closing May 28, 2026. Pasco County, Florida, posted an Invitation for Bid in May 2026 for herbicides, fertilizers, and pesticides delivered to two county maintenance facilities on an as-needed basis, with F.O.B. Destination pricing and a contract term running through September 30, 2029, closing June 16, 2026. Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Florida, with both solicitations open to all qualified vendors meeting state registration and insurance requirements, including small and minority-owned businesses where applicable.
