NIGP 67060: Septic Tanks and Cesspools (Other Than Concrete)

NIGP 67060 Septic Tanks and Cesspools (Other Than Concrete), an Item code, covers routine and emergency maintenance, repair, pumping, and abandonment of septic systems, holding tanks, lift stations, and associated wastewater infrastructure at state and local facilities. State and local governments procure this work across maintenance departments, transportation agencies, parks and recreation systems, water authorities, school districts, and county services; California Caltrans and the California Department of Water Resources appear frequently in recent solicitations, along with county and municipal parks, fire stations, and utility operations.

Recent activity spans California (dominant), Florida, Arizona, and scattered other states, with the heaviest concentration in California's state agencies and counties. Representative recent opportunities include the California Department of Transportation IFB 04A7567 for wash rack sump and septic tank cleaning services across nine Bay Area and Northern California counties, posted February 3, 2026, with responses due February 17; CAL FIRE IFB 4CA07638 for septic maintenance and repairs at eleven fire stations in the Madera-Mariposa-Merced region, posted July 15, 2026, with a three-year term running September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2029, bid due July 30, 2026, and 5 percent small-business preference plus DVBE incentive capped at $100,000; Caltrans IFB 08A3999 for septic tank pumping and disposal at 14 facilities across San Bernardino and Riverside Counties, posted June 25, 2026, bids due July 14, 2026, with a 5 percent small-business preference and separate 5 percent DVBE incentive, each capped at $50,000, and a three-year term from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2029; and Sarasota County RFQ 2026QQ760 for septic abandonment services, posted July 2, 2026, quotes due July 10, 2026. Prevailing wage applies to most California procurements exceeding specified thresholds; state-specific licensing (C-36, C-42, and General Engineering Contractor licenses in California; Florida DEP compliance and local permits elsewhere) is standard. Multi-year terms and on-call arrangements dominate the market.
