NIGP 85078: Textiles, Scrap or Waste

NIGP 85078 Textiles, Scrap Or Waste, an Item code, encompasses waste container rental and disposal services across multiple waste streams — from routine municipal refuse to specialized biohazard and debris removal — that state and local governments procure for facility operations, transportation corridors, and special-use properties. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county governments (Milwaukee County, Harris County), state transportation departments (California Department of Transportation), and special districts managing public facilities. The scope ranges from standard front-end loader and roll-off container services with scheduled collection to specialized biohazard waste removal requiring hazmat certifications, trauma-scene-waste management credentials, and 24/7 emergency response capability. Prevailing wage requirements, insurance minimums (typically $1 million per coverage line), M/WBE utilization goals and set-asides, and strict performance penalties apply across recent solicitations.
