NIGP 31241: Environmental Control Systems for Cargo Containers, etc.

NIGP 31241 Environmental Control Systems For Cargo Containers, Etc. is an Item code under which state and local governments procure specialized metal containers for waste management and materials handling operations. The City of Leesburg, Florida's April 2026 Invitation for Bid for open-top roll-off metal containers illustrates the core work solicited under this code: procurement of durable steel containers engineered to exacting specifications for collection, transport, and temporary storage of solid waste and bulk materials. State and local solid waste departments and facilities management operations are the primary buyers. The containers themselves require precision manufacturing, with requirements such as high-carbon steel construction, continuous welding, reinforced structural components (10-gauge sides, 7-gauge flooring), corrosion protection via sand blasting and multi-coat industrial enamel finishes, and compatibility with standard mechanical handling systems such as cable hoist rollers.

The Leesburg procurement demonstrates the geographic spread and issuing-body mix for the code: Florida municipalities with dedicated solid waste operations drive visible demand. The Leesburg IFB 26007HG, due January 22, 2026, called for 32 containers across four size classes (10, 20, 30, and 40 cubic yards, 8 units per size) under a one-year base term with four optional renewal periods. Bidders must demonstrate three years of operating history, current Commercial General Liability and Business Automobile Liability insurance with a $1,000,000 combined single limit, and three professional references from similar projects within the prior three years. No set-aside designations are noted. The contract structure allows the City to purchase any, all, or none of the estimated quantities on an as-needed basis, with payment on Net 30 terms post-delivery and acceptance. The record shows limited recent activity data beyond the Leesburg solicitation; broader geographic or multi-jurisdiction patterns cannot be established from the source.
