NIGP 54561: Refuse/Garbage Burning Equipment

NIGP 54561 Refuse/Garbage Burning Equipment, an Item code, encompasses consumables and services for solid waste management that state and local governments procure regularly — primarily polyethylene trash and recycling bags, dumpster rental and pickup services, and roll-off bin operations at municipal facilities. Recent solicitations show city and county purchasing offices sourcing bags in bulk with specifications for material composition, durability, and closure options; counties contracting for front-load dumpster services at multiple facilities with varying container sizes and pickup frequencies; and municipal parks departments arranging roll-off bin services for temporary waste management. Issuing bodies include city purchasing departments (notably the City of Richardson), county boards of commissioners (White County, Georgia; Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima counties in Washington), and state agencies managing park operations. Cooperative purchasing vehicles also appear in the market — Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit service cooperative, has recently advertised law enforcement equipment procurement on behalf of multiple participating county and municipal entities across Washington state and beyond, demonstrating how the code's scope extends into equipment procurement frameworks that serve thousands of governmental buyers.

Activity spans Texas, Georgia, California, and Washington, with significant regional variation in procurement vehicle type and frequency. The City of Richardson issued an RFP for an annual requirements contract covering recycle and trash bags on June 16, 2026, seeking a single vendor with five years' experience supplying municipalities and requiring ASTM compliance for film thickness, dart impact strength, and drop resistance, with an initial one-year term and four one-year extension options. White County, Georgia released an RFQ for front-load dumpster rental and pickup across 18 county facilities with responses due February 26, 2026, establishing a one-year contract term from April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2027. The State of California posted an IFB on March 8, 2026, for roll-off bin services at Peck Park with a March 18, 2026, deadline and mandatory job walk attendance. Most procurements emphasize performance standards, compliance documentation, and multi-year contract structures with renewal or extension options.
