NIGP 48619: Cleaner/Remover, Lead-Based Debris, Environmentally Certified Products

NIGP 48619 Cleaner/Remover, Lead-Based Debris, Environmentally Certified Products is an Item code under which state and local governments procure lead-based paint inspection, risk assessment, and environmental remediation services—primarily for residential properties and public facilities—rather than discrete cleaning products or debris-removal materials. The City of Detroit Office of Contracting and Procurement is soliciting environmental investigation firms to provide lead-based paint inspections, lead clearance inspections, elevated blood lead environmental investigations, water sampling, soil testing, and asbestos and mold surveys across Detroit locations under RFP 550632, with proposals due October 1, 2026; the scope also includes turnaround times ranging from two business days for verbal results to 28 business days for combination reports, and respondents must maintain Michigan Department of Health and Human Services accreditation and employ certified staff. Issuers under this code include city community development departments (Lubbock, Detroit), county facilities and environmental divisions (Monroe County, Broward County), and municipal public-health-aligned departments; the City of Lubbock Community Development Department alone has issued multiple sealed-bid ITBs for single-property lead-based paint inspections and risk assessments funded through CDBG resources, representing a pattern of frequent, recurring, individual-property assessments at modest contract values.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas (Lubbock, with at least nine posted inspections from April through July 2026), Florida (Detroit-based RFP and multiple Monroe County gutter-replacement and waterway-debris RFQs), and scattered jurisdiction-specific environmental remediation efforts. The City of Lubbock Community Development Department is the most visible repeat buyer, issuing ITBs for lead-based paint inspection and risk assessment on individual residential properties with ten-day bidding windows and lump-sum pricing on a CDBG-funded basis; other representative opportunities include the City of Detroit's three-year environmental investigation RFP covering lead clearance, water sampling, soil testing, asbestos surveys, and mold testing (pre-proposal conference September 10, 2026; questions due September 28, 2026), and Broward County's FEMA Debris Clearing and Removal Services ITB (proposals due June 30, 2026) covering post-disaster debris removal with unit pricing and multi-year indefinite-quantity structure. Geographic spread reflects CDBG-funded community development activity in Texas and environmental-remediation procurement in Michigan and Florida, with no national concentration evident in the recent-opportunities block.
