NIGP 44541: Hazardous Material Equipment, Tools and Supplies

NIGP 44541 Hazardous Material Equipment, Tools And Supplies, Item code, covers consumable and durable equipment that state and local agencies deploy for identification, transport, containment, and disposal of hazardous and non-hazardous waste streams — including roll-off containers, respiratory protection systems, detection and testing kits, and specialized field instrumentation. The work actually being solicited spans waste collection and transport services (including pickup, manifesting, and disposal of household hazardous waste and illegal dumping), respiratory protection equipment and masks for emergency responders, hazard-detection test kits for fire and hazmat units, and janitorial supplies for facilities operating continuous emergency services. Issuing bodies include city and county environmental and waste services departments, fire rescue operations, and facility management offices — all addressing routine and emergency compliance with EPA, state environmental, OSHA, and hazmat transportation regulations. Recent solicitations show city purchasing offices and county waste departments as the primary buyers, with fire departments emerging as repeat buyers of detection and respiratory equipment.

Recent activity appears concentrated in Florida jurisdictions. The City of Leesburg issued an IFB (due January 22, 2026) for 32 roll-off metal containers in four sizes for solid waste collection; the City of Tampa released an RFQ for hazardous material testing and detection kits (due April 24, 2026) and a separate RFQ for pickup, transport, identification, manifesting, and disposal of hazardous and non-hazardous waste across 76 line items (due September 11, 2026), the latter requiring EPA Identification Number and Florida Department of Environmental Protection Hazardous Waste Transporter Registration as mandatory qualifications; Escambia County Department of Waste Services posted an ITB for household hazardous waste collection and disposal services (due August 6, 2026) covering 2–6 annual pickups with unit pricing by container type and waste category; and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issued an ITB for janitorial and operational supplies ($765,679.84 estimated value, due July 24, 2026) supporting 47 fire stations operating 24/7. Additional activity includes the Town of Berlin, Connecticut's RFP for on-call environmental engineering and industrial hygiene services (due June 25, 2026), the City of Austin's IFQ for CleanSpace respirator systems and filters for fire arson investigators (due June 12, 2026), the Texas Facilities Commission's RFP for remediation and restoration services across 81 state facilities (due May 28, 2026), and the Texas General Land Office's RFQ for high hydrogen sulfide well plugging services (due May 5, 2026).
