NIGP 34041: Fire Suppression Foam and Other Suppression Compounds

NIGP 34041 Fire Suppression Foam and Other Suppression Compounds is an Item code under which state and local governments procure fire suppression foams, Class A and B foam concentrates, aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) removal and disposal services, and related suppression agents for fire apparatus, storage facilities, and fire department operations. The recent opportunities show a mix of direct foam procurement (Class A/B firefighting foam concentrate in bulk containers), AFFF remediation services addressing PFAS chemical removal from fire apparatus under California environmental compliance, and comprehensive fire suppression system maintenance contracts that bundle foam and suppression system inspection, testing, and repair. Issuing bodies include city fire departments (Bradenton, Santa Monica, Pittsburgh, Columbus, New Haven), county public works (Orange County, Douglas County), state environmental and correctional agencies (California CPUC, California EDD, Illinois Department of Corrections, California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation), school districts (Stephens County, Hillsborough County, New Haven Public Schools), transit and utility authorities (Tampa Bay Water), and higher education (Hudson Valley Community College, University of Wisconsin Oshkosh). Most recent activity clusters in Florida, California, and Georgia, with significant procurement also in Colorado (Denver), Ohio (Columbus), and Connecticut (New Haven).

Representative opportunities include the City of Pittsburgh's IFB for Solberg Spartan 1% Class A/B firefighting foam concentrate (fluorine-free, dual-purpose, available in 5-gallon, 55-gallon, and 265-gallon packaging; four-year contract term; responses due July 24, 2026); the City of Santa Monica Fire Department's five-year RFB for Class B AFFF removal, cleaning, and disposal from fire apparatus and storage containers under California Assembly Bill 339 PFAS compliance, with responses due August 19, 2026; and Orange County OC Public Works' IFB for CO2 fire suppression and gas detection inspection services at the Central Utilities Facility, with bids due October 7, 2026. Hillsborough County Public Schools is pursuing an RFP for pre-engineered CO2 automatic fire extinguisher and sprinkler system inspection and repair across 235 schools (responses due October 5, 2026), and the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation issued a Master Agreement rebid for fire suppression system services including chemical and clean agent systems at Deuel Vocational Institution (bids due October 7, 2026). Most contracts require valid state fire protection contractor licenses (C-16 in California; Level I–V in Florida), NFPA compliance, general liability insurance of $1 million per occurrence, and prevailing wage adherence where applicable. Pricing typically follows firm-fixed or hourly-rate structures with material markups capped at 10–15 percent.
