NIGP 25727: Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Explosive Weapons and Cyber Attacks

NIGP 25727 Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Explosive Weapons and Cyber Attacks, an Item code, encompasses cybersecurity and environmental risk mitigation services that state and local governments procure to protect digital infrastructure and manage environmental compliance. The recent solicitation activity under this code reflects two distinct service lines: application security testing platforms that identify and remediate software vulnerabilities throughout the development lifecycle, and environmental consulting services supporting regulatory compliance, permitting, and resource management. Issuing bodies include county governments and their specialized departments — Sacramento County's Department of Technology and Pasco County's Public Works Department are active buyers. The scope of work under this code ranges from enterprise-grade security platforms integrating static and dynamic application testing, software composition analysis, and AI-assisted remediation, to multi-disciplinary environmental services including biological assessments, wetlands delineation, stream restoration, water quality studies, and community outreach.
