NIGP 45069: Rubber, Scrap or Waste

NIGP 45069 Rubber, Scrap Or Waste is an Item code under which state and local governments procure removal, transportation, and disposal of waste tires, scrap rubber, and related materials from public infrastructure, maintenance facilities, and collection sites. Recent solicitations show this code capturing biohazard waste removal (including tire disposal as a secondary component), dedicated tire and scrap rubber pickup services, and e-waste recycling arrangements that often include mixed-material waste streams. The issuing bodies span state departments of transportation (California Caltrans, Illinois IDOT), county boards and commissions (Pasco County Florida, Ventura County California), school districts (William S. Hart Union High School District California), and municipal and regional environmental agencies (Maryland Environmental Service). These buyers typically structure contracts as multi-year agreements with routine and emergency service response windows, require specialized licensing (California Hazardous Substance Removal certification, Illinois EPA used-tire transporter permits, Florida FDEP or EPA facility approval), and enforce prevailing wage compliance when total bids exceed thresholds or are classified as public works projects.

Recent activity concentrates in California (Caltrans IFB 07A6365 for biohazard and tire removal in Los Angeles and Ventura Counties, due June 18, 2026; Ventura County RFB 6528 for e-waste recycling, due June 24, 2026; William S. Hart Union High School District IFB HAZ2604A for hazardous waste removal, due April 29, 2026), Illinois (IDOT IFB 27494DOTFINADB52458 for tire and scrap rubber pickup across District 1, due June 18, 2026), Florida (Pasco County IFB-KM-26-097 for waste tire management services, due June 23, 2026), and Maryland (Maryland Environmental Service sealed-bid procurement 1265265 for hazardous and non-hazardous waste transportation and disposal, due May 7, 2026). Caltrans and county governments show repeated procurement activity; the Illinois IDOT tire contract requires no subcontracting and mandates a registered commercial used-tire transporter permit as a core eligibility gate, while Pasco County's tire management IFB includes a local preference provision allowing qualified vendors in Pasco or neighboring counties to match the lowest bid within defined thresholds. Contract terms typically run three years with optional renewal periods, and pricing is commonly structured on per-unit, per-ton, or hourly-rate bases with insurance, bonding, and detailed waste-stream documentation requirements.
