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 pumping, cleaning, inspection, maintenance, repair, and abandonment of septic systems and holding tanks at state and local facilities. State and local governments are actively procuring these services across transportation departments, state fire agencies, water resources departments, county parks and museums, and specialized facilities, with work scoped to include labor, equipment, materials, permits, transportation, and disposal fees on a per-gallon or fixed-rate basis, often bundled with 24/7 emergency response and compliance reporting requirements.

Recent activity spans California, Maryland, and Florida, with the heaviest concentration in California under Caltrans, CAL FIRE, the Department of Water Resources, and the Department of Highway Patrol. Caltrans has posted multiple IFBs for septic pumping and disposal services in multiple county groupings (Fresno, Kern, Tulare; San Bernardino, Riverside; Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Solano; Santa Barbara, Monterey, San Luis Obispo) with routine and non-routine service requirements, small-business preferences capping at $50,000, and DVBE incentives capped at $100,000 combined with preference, all spanning three-year terms effective October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2029. CAL FIRE has issued two IFBs for septic maintenance and repairs across multiple fire stations—one for eleven stations in the Madera-Mariposa-Merced region (IFB 4CA07638, due July 30, 2026) and one for Fresno County and Fresno City facilities (IFB 4CA07891, due September 10, 2026)—both requiring California licensing (General Engineering Contractor, Plumbing, or Sanitation System Contractor) and routine and emergency response capability. The California Department of Water Resources issued IFB 10218182 for septic and holding tank services at the Sutter Maintenance Yard (due June 10, 2026) and IFB 10214188 for water treatment system services across four field divisions (due June 9, 2026). The California Department of Highway Patrol issued IFB 26C860000 for semi-annual septic tank pumping and maintenance at two Cajon facilities (due June 5, 2026). Outside California, Caltrans issued IFB 01A6610 for wastewater monitoring and reporting at Del Norte County (due June 4, 2026), Jefferson Patterson Park and Museum in Calvert County, Maryland requested septic tank pump-out services at nine facility locations (RFQ BPM057860, due August 19, 2026), and Sarasota County, Florida solicited septic system abandonment services at a single address (RFQ 2026QQ760, due July 10, 2026).
