NIGP 20379: Recycled Computer Accessories and Supplies, Environmentally Certified Products

NIGP Item 20379 Recycled Computer Accessories And Supplies, Environmentally Certified Products covers procurement of end-of-life electronics, scrap metals, and associated recycling or disposal services. State and local governments use this code to award contracts for the removal and processing of surplus or obsolete technology equipment from facilities—including computers, monitors, televisions, printers, and miscellaneous electronics—as well as to purchase recovered recyclable materials such as scrap metals and lead-acid batteries from landfills and waste management sites. Issuing bodies soliciting under the code include county waste departments, municipal procurement offices, and independent school districts. Recent opportunities reflect two distinct transactional directions: municipalities and counties contracting vendors to remove and recycle their electronic waste on a routine basis, and waste authorities contracting vendors to purchase recovered goods from landfills on a percentage-of-market-price or per-pound pricing basis.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Florida. The City of Augusta, Georgia issued an ITB for electronic waste disposal and recycling services at its municipal solid waste facility with a due date of September 22, 2026, requiring pickup, legal transportation, and disposal of computers, monitors, televisions, cell phones, printers, and similar equipment on an as-needed basis with three working-day response times and a one-year initial term plus four optional one-year renewals. Escambia County Department of Waste Services in Florida has posted multiple ITBs to purchase recycled goods from its Perdido Landfill, including scrap metals, end-of-life electronics, and lead-acid batteries, with vendors supplying roll-off containers and pickup or drop-off services on a cost-inclusive, fixed-percentage-of-market or per-pound basis under thirty-six-month initial contracts with optional two-year renewals. The City of Pembroke Pines, Florida sought computer equipment for school programs (75 Lenovo ThinkPad laptops and 3 Earthwalk Chromebook Carts, estimated $130,000) under CAP Grant funding through an IFB with a May 26, 2026 due date. Goose Creek Consolidated Independent School District issued RFP 27-007 for disposal of surplus technology equipment with a due date of August 21, 2026.
