NIGP 67065: Sinks, Portable, Self-Contained

NIGP 67065 Sinks, Portable, Self-Contained (Item) encompasses portable handwashing stations and sink units that state and local governments procure primarily as components of broader portable sanitation packages bundled with portable toilets and supporting facilities for both routine operations and emergency response. The recent solicitation activity reflects steady demand for integrated portable hygiene solutions rather than standalone sink procurement; governments are buying complete portable restroom and handwashing station rental-and-service contracts that include delivery, installation, maintenance, cleaning, servicing, and removal. Issuing bodies span county governments, municipal water districts, municipal public works and parks departments, and special-purpose authorities. Pinellas County, Florida; the Consolidated Government of Columbus, Georgia; Eastern Municipal Water District in California; and Clayton County Water Authority in Georgia have all posted solicitations in the past four months, with Pinellas County's October 2026 ITQ solicitation (260836ITQ) requiring 24/7 vendor availability, four-hour emergency response times, hurricane prestaging support, and ADA-compliant unit placement, while Columbus, Georgia's June 2026 RFB (26-0036) specified quantities of standard and ADA-accessible units with service frequencies ranging from daily to twice weekly.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Georgia, with secondary activity in California. Pinellas County's solicitation, due October 6, 2026, emphasizes emergency response capability and trailer augmentation (restroom, shower, laundry, and sleeper trailers with alternate power and fuel support), while Columbus, Georgia's contract, posted June 17, 2026 with bids due June 24, 2026, targets routine municipal operations across Parks and Recreation, Public Works, and Civic Center departments with a two-year initial term and three optional one-year renewals. Eastern Municipal Water District's RFP3958, posted July 16, 2026 with proposals due August 15, 2026, and Clayton County Water Authority's RFB 2026-GS-10, posted July 9, 2026 with bids due August 5, 2026, indicate continued procurement activity but provide limited scope detail. Insurance requirements, when specified, typically demand general liability coverage of $1 million per occurrence and compliance with federal grant provisions including Davis-Bacon prevailing wage, equal employment opportunity, and domestic-product preference where applicable.
