NIGP 84545: Moisture Testers (Not for Soils)

NIGP 84545 Moisture Testers (Not For Soils), an Item code, represents diagnostic and measurement equipment used in remediation, restoration, and facility-management contexts where state and local governments assess water damage, mold contamination, and structural moisture conditions in buildings. The code encompasses handheld and portable moisture-sensing instruments deployed during post-incident assessments, ongoing facility inspections, and environmental testing protocols. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include state facility-management agencies and special-purpose districts managing state-owned property portfolios. The Texas Facilities Commission represents the primary recent buyer visible in state-level procurement activity, where moisture-testing capability appears as a component of broader remediation and restoration service contracts rather than as a standalone equipment purchase.

The Texas Facilities Commission issued RFP 0007615 on April 13, 2026, for Remediation and Restoration Services covering 81 state-owned facilities across multiple Texas locations including Austin, El Paso, Fort Worth, Houston, San Antonio, Tyler, and Waco, with a response deadline of May 28, 2026. The procurement encompasses water remediation, mold remediation, fire and smoke remediation, and damage restoration, with remediation testing and clearance explicitly included in the scope—indicating that moisture-testing instrumentation and capability are embedded within the expected service delivery. Proposals were evaluated on relevant experience and qualifications (25%), proposed methodology (20%), quality and safety program (5%), and compensation and fees (50%), with mandatory IICRC, EPA, and TDLR certifications required. The contract term runs through August 31, 2028, with two optional two-year renewal periods, and a 26.0% HUB subcontracting utilization goal applies to all respondents. The procurement anticipated multiple awards to qualified vendors for best value.
