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

NIGP 84587 Test Equipment For Hazardous Material (Lead Content, Etc.), an Item code, encompasses field-deployable detection and testing kits that state and local governments procure to identify and evaluate hazardous substances in operational and emergency response contexts. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring specific product lines—biological warfare agent detection strips, hydrogen sulfide (H2S) simultest kits, and powder screening test kits—rather than generic or laboratory-grade equipment. Issuing bodies include state natural-resource agencies managing oil and gas infrastructure, municipal fire departments, and school districts integrating hazmat training into career-technical education programs. The Texas General Land Office and the City of Tampa Fire Rescue Department represent the primary active buyers, with school districts such as Klein Independent School District (Harris County, Texas) also procuring detection and testing resources as part of broader CTE curriculum support.

Geographic activity clusters in Texas and Florida. The Texas General Land Office issued RFQ 455-26-1020 on April 2, 2026 (due May 5, 2026) for high H2S well plugging and related services, establishing a pre-qualified vendor list for oil and gas asset maintenance across the state, with small-business, minority-business, and veteran-business set-asides available under Texas HUB and ESBD designations. The City of Tampa Fire Rescue Department posted RFQ 26-P-00282 on April 24, 2026 (due April 24, 2026) for hazardous-material testing and detection kits including BioCheck powder screening test kits, Drager HazMat simultest kits, and biological-warfare agent detection strips, with delivery required within 30 days of order on an FOB Destination basis. Klein ISD issued RFP 26-101 on April 17, 2026 (due June 5, 2026) for Career Technical Education and Advanced Academics resources spanning 17 CTE program areas including health sciences and criminal justice, with equipment and materials to be delivered, installed, and maintained by selected vendors; the district encourages HUB, MWBE, and SBE participation and intends to make award recommendations by August 10, 2026 for a contract beginning September 1, 2026.
