NIGP 56046: Drum and Other Container Handling Equipment (Not Otherwise Classified)

NIGP 56046 Drum And Other Container Handling Equipment (Not Otherwise Classified), an Item code, encompasses hazardous waste removal, transport, recycling, and disposal services that state and local transportation and municipal authorities solicit to manage used oils, fluids, filters, aerosols, and medical waste generated across their operational facilities. The work involves DOT/UN-approved container supply, pickup and transport logistics, regulatory compliance documentation, and destination-facility coordination rather than equipment procurement in the traditional sense. Issuing bodies under this code include regional transit authorities and county transportation agencies managing multi-site waste streams across dispersed operational locations.

The Orange County Transportation Authority solicited hazardous waste removal and recycling services via RFQ (Solicitation 250459) with a response deadline of August 18, 2026, for an estimated contract value of $55,000 over one year covering pickup at five OCTA bases in the Los Angeles metropolitan area. The scope requires 90-day minimum pickup intervals with 5-business-day response for urgent requests, current DTSC hazardous waste hauling certification, EPA registration, California Highway Patrol Hazardous Material License, and comprehensive regulatory compliance under Title 22, Division 4.5 of the California Code of Regulations. Award is made to the lowest responsive and responsible firm; respondents must quote all line items and certify non-exposure to Ukraine/Russia-related economic sanctions.
