NIGP 54588: Vacuum Cleaners and Dust Collectors for Hazardous Material

NIGP 54588 Vacuum Cleaners And Dust Collectors For Hazardous Material is an Item code encompassing equipment and services for capturing, containing, and managing dust and particulates from hazardous operations. State and local governments procure under this code dust-collector bags and replacement components for fixed installations, OEM parts and service contracts for specialty cleaning equipment, and hazmat-specific cleaning and decontamination services. Recent solicitations show demand ranging from replacement bags for industrial dust-collection systems serving lime-house operations to comprehensive lead-contamination remediation at firing ranges, as well as advanced cleaning and inspection services for protective equipment exposed to hazardous conditions. Issuing bodies include county governments, municipalities, state departments, and regional agencies managing facilities with lead, dust, or contamination-hazard exposure — particularly public-safety and environmental compliance operations.

California, Florida, and Illinois drive recent activity under the code. The California Department of General Services issued a Request for Information on September 23, 2026 (due October 7, 2026) for PPE advanced cleaning, inspection, and CO2 cleaning services across ten geographic regions, with a three-year contract structure anticipated to proceed to competitive invitation for bid in early 2027; NFPA-verified providers serving all fire-season regions are required, and California Small Business or DVBE certification is an evaluation criterion.
