NIGP 61652: Label Remover Equipment, Environmentally Certified Products

NIGP 61652 Label Remover Equipment, Environmentally Certified Products is an Item code under which state and local governments procure specialized equipment designed to remove labels from containers and products while meeting environmental certification standards. The code captures demand for machinery and tools that strip labels efficiently while minimizing waste and adhering to green procurement requirements—a niche but recurring need across waste management operations, recycling facilities, and materials-recovery infrastructure. Issuing bodies pursuing this code include county solid-waste departments, municipal recycling programs, and regional waste authorities that integrate label removal into their processing workflows to improve sorting, reduce contamination, and meet sustainability mandates.

No recent state and local contract opportunities under NIGP 61652 appear in the available procurement record. The code remains active in the NIGP taxonomy but has not generated posted RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB notices in the current tracking window, suggesting either infrequent procurement cycles, use of existing cooperative purchasing agreements, or direct vendor relationships that bypass formal solicitation.
