NIGP 50047: Lint Disposal and Removal Systems

NIGP 50047 Lint Disposal and Removal Systems, an Item code, encompasses the removal, replacement, and maintenance of lint collection systems in institutional and commercial laundry operations, along with broader debris and hazardous waste removal services. State and local governments procure under this code when upgrading laundry facilities—such as replacing exhaust systems and lint filters at correctional or community reintegration centers—and when managing disaster debris removal and household hazardous waste collection following natural events or emergency situations. The issuing bodies soliciting under the code span county facilities departments, city environmental services divisions, and county departments of public works, reflecting the code's application across multiple infrastructure and public safety functions.

Recent activity shows geographic spread across the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic. Milwaukee County, Wisconsin issued an IFB on May 13, 2026 (due June 3, 2026) for design, furnishing, and installation of a new laundry exhaust lint collection system at the Community Reintegration Center in Franklin, Wisconsin, including complete removal of the existing lint filter system and ductwork, structural engineering, integration with the building automation system, and a minimum one-year labor warranty.
