NIGP 84587: Test Equipment for Hazardous Material (Lead Content, etc.)

NIGP Item 84587 Test Equipment For Hazardous Material (Lead Content, Etc.) covers atmospheric and chemical detection instruments, test kits, and related sensor systems that state and local governments deploy to identify air-quality hazards, biological and chemical threats, and confined-space risks at water systems, emergency-response facilities, and industrial sites. Solicitations under this code reflect a mix of capital equipment procurement (fixed atmospheric monitoring systems with installation and commissioning), consumable test kits for field screening and emergency response, and maintenance contracts ensuring 24/7 replacement-parts availability and certified technician support. Issuing bodies include municipal water departments, county environmental and emergency-management agencies, state health departments, and special-purpose districts; the City of Phoenix, City of Tampa Fire Rescue, Illinois Department of Public Health, and Texas General Land Office all posted opportunities in the past five months. The code attracts both open competitive solicitations and sole-source small purchases depending on equipment standardization and vendor qualification.

Recent activity centers in Arizona, Florida, Illinois, and Texas. The City of Phoenix Water Services Department issued IFB 27-0435 (due September 4, 2026) for a five-year atmospheric monitoring contract covering hydrogen sulfide, methane, oxygen depletion, chlorine, and other gases at water and wastewater facilities, with DBE-N participation requirements and 48-hour replacement-parts stocking obligations from approved manufacturers including ATI, De Nora, Drager, and MSA.
