NIGP 84545: Moisture Testers (Not for Soils)

NIGP 84545 Moisture Testers (Not For Soils), an Item code, represents diagnostic equipment and services state and local governments procure to assess moisture content in building materials, finishes, and structures during remediation and restoration work. The Texas Facilities Commission issued RFP 0007615 in April 2026 soliciting remediation and restoration services across 81 state-owned facilities in Texas, including moisture and water damage assessment as part of comprehensive facility restoration. State and local buyers under this code include facilities management agencies, public works departments, and building authorities managing large real-estate portfolios. The work encompasses moisture detection and testing during water remediation, mold assessment, fire and smoke damage evaluation, and post-remediation clearance testing — services that rely on accurate moisture measurement to verify successful restoration and safety compliance. Vendors must hold specialized certifications such as IICRC Water Damage and Fire & Smoke Restoration certifications, EPA credentials, and OSHA qualifications to compete in this space.

Texas has shown recent activity under this code through the TFC's multi-facility remediation program. The TFC procurement, RFP 0007615 with a May 28, 2026 response deadline, requires vendors to manage moisture testing and clearance across facilities in Austin, El Paso, Fort Worth, Houston, San Antonio, Tyler, and Waco under a 24/7 emergency-response model with two-hour response times for critical situations. The contract structure offers a two-year initial term running through August 31, 2028, with two optional two-year renewals, and mandates a 26% HUB subcontracting utilization goal. The evaluation framework weights relevant experience and qualifications at 25%, proposed methodology at 20%, and compensation at 50%, with mandatory pre-proposal conferences held in late April 2026 and interviews scheduled for early June 2026. No specific contract budget was disclosed in the solicitation.
