NIGP 20583: Recycled Microcomputer Hardware and Peripherals, Environmentally Certified Products

NIGP 20583 Recycled Microcomputer Hardware And Peripherals, Environmentally Certified Products (Item) encompasses electronic waste disposal and recycling services for computers, monitors, televisions, cell phones, printers, and similar equipment generated at municipal facilities. State and local governments procure under this code to manage end-of-life electronics through vendors offering pickup, transportation, recycling or disposal, tracking documentation, and certificates of destruction — all compliant with federal and state environmental regulations. The issuing bodies include city procurement offices (as in the City of Augusta) and county purchasing departments managing e-waste streams at solid waste facilities and other municipal operations.

The City of Augusta, Georgia solicited e-waste disposal and recycling services in September 2026 under ITB 27-075, with sealed bids due September 22, 2026, requiring vendors to provide unit pricing by equipment category and bulk pricing by weight, plus enclosed recycling trailers and destruction certificates. A separate activity in June 2026 — a Request for Information from an unnamed Florida county on Fortinet-branded network security hardware and support — demonstrates that procurement activity in this code space also addresses cybersecurity infrastructure and related services, though this RFI was posted to test sole-source justification rather than to solicit recycled hardware directly. Geographic activity appears concentrated in the Southeast (Georgia, Florida) in the recent record, with municipal solid waste facilities and IT operations as primary demand drivers. The one-year contract term with optional renewals in the Augusta ITB reflects typical municipal e-waste service arrangements, with local bidder preferences and as-needed pickup requirements commonplace in the market.
