NIGP 43075: Recycled Gases and Containers

NIGP 43075 Recycled Gases and Containers, an Item code, encompasses procurement of refrigerant recovery and gas extraction services, as well as waste and recyclable materials transport via grapple and roll-off containers. State and local governments buy EPA-certified refrigerant reclamation work to recover and document destruction or recycling of gases extracted from appliances and equipment, and they procure container pickup and haul services to move collected materials from environmental facilities and convenience centers to consolidation and processing sites. Issuing bodies include municipalities (City of Tucson), state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Clay County, Harris County), and community colleges (Collin College), reflecting activity across environmental services divisions, transit authorities, forensic institutes, and educational institutions.

Recent opportunities span Arizona, Florida, Texas, and Washington. The City of Tucson Environmental and General Services Division issued RFP 240011 for gas extraction and removal services at the Los Reales Sustainability Campus, requiring an EPA-certified refrigerant reclaimer to extract gases from approximately 50 units weekly with minimum two-week intervals and one-year initial contract term with up to four renewals (response due September 19, 2024). Clay County Board of County Commissioners posted ITB 2526110 for grapple and roll-off container services supporting four environmental convenience centers and the Rosemary Hill Solid Waste Management Facility, with bids due September 3, 2026 and a mandatory pre-bid meeting on August 21, 2026; the three-year contract (October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2029) requires self-performance of a minimum 40 percent of work and five years prior experience performing similar services. Harris County Institute of Forensic Science issued ITB 260132 for specialty chemicals and industrial gases with bids due July 20, 2026 for a one-year term beginning October 1, 2026.
