NIGP 91038: Insulation and Asbestos Installation, Maintenance, Repair and Removal Services (Includes Spray-On Insulation)

NIGP 91038 Insulation and Asbestos Installation, Maintenance, Repair and Removal Services (Includes Spray-On Insulation), Item code, covers removal, abatement, and disposal of asbestos-containing materials and installation of replacement insulation across public facilities — what state and local governments are actually procuring under this code ranges from targeted ACM abatement in school buildings to comprehensive hazmat remediation tied to facility renovations, demolitions, and waste-to-energy infrastructure maintenance. Recent opportunities show state departments, county public works and housing agencies, city building departments, school districts, and specialized authorities (transit, utilities, higher education) all actively soliciting asbestos abatement and insulation services, with Texas agencies (Health and Human Services Commission, State Technical College System) and Colorado jurisdictions (Boulder County, Auraria Higher Education Center) appearing as repeat buyers. Issuing bodies span the full spectrum: city codes-enforcement demolition programs, county health departments coordinating CDBG-DR disaster recovery, state facility management, independent school districts managing pre-renovation abatement, transit and utility authorities maintaining operational infrastructure, and special-purpose districts handling facility conversions.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Colorado, Michigan, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, and Washington, with additional recent solicitations posted by Arizona, Oregon, and California jurisdictions. Representative recent work includes the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017101 for asbestos and lead-based paint abatement at the Texas Center for Infectious Disease in San Antonio (bids due June 3, 2026, scope covering 22,000 square feet of walkway surface and 4,400 linear feet of pipe insulation); Boulder County Housing Department's SOQ299262 establishing a pre-qualified contractor pool for mobile home replacement under CDBG-DR with approximately $900,000 in federal funding anticipated to support three projects (responses due October 13, 2026); Lincoln Elementary School's bid solicitation for comprehensive asbestos removal (RFP due October 15, 2026); Spalding County, Georgia's sealed-bid demolition of the former Dundee Mill Headquarters under court order with asbestos abatement (bids due September 23, 2026, hard Georgia licensing requirement); and the City of Tampa's sheltered-market procurement for waste-to-energy facility lagging and insulation services with a 5 percent SLBE bid discount (estimated $250,000 over three years). Prevailing wage compliance, federal CDBG-DR and HUD requirements, mandatory site visits, pre-bid conferences, rigorous licensing and certification mandates (Texas asbestos contractor certification, Georgia Environmental Protection Division licensing, EPA lead accreditation), comprehensive insurance and bonding, and proof of prior similar-project experience are standard across all issuing bodies.
