NIGP 91046: Lead Poisoning Control and Reduction

NIGP 91046 Lead Poisoning Control and Reduction, Item code, encompasses lead-based paint inspection, risk assessment, and hazard remediation services that state and local governments procure for residential properties, public facilities, and multi-family housing stock. The City of Lubbock, Texas Community Development Department dominates recent activity, issuing more than thirty sealed-bid ITBs since January 2026 for lead-based paint inspections and risk assessments on single-family residential homes funded through Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) resources. Additional recent activity includes lead reclamation work at Santa Clara County parks (ITB due June 25, 2026), lead hazard removal at the Housing Authority of San Antonio's Alazan Apache Courts multi-family complex (IFB due March 27, 2026), and abatement and deconstruction of an asbestos-and-lead-contaminated apartment building for Boulder County Public Works (RFP due May 28, 2026). Work typically involves XRF testing of painted surfaces, dust wipe sampling from interior surfaces and floors using NLLAP-accredited laboratories, bare soil sampling, detailed documentation and reporting, and state-certified inspector and risk assessor personnel. Larger projects add component removal and replacement, hazardous waste disposal, interim containment, and final clearance testing.

Issuing bodies span cities (Lubbock, Dallas, Union City, Boulder), counties (Santa Clara, DeKalb, Boulder), housing authorities, and special-purpose districts. The City of Lubbock's repeated procurement activity—issuing multiple ITBs monthly for individual residential properties at standardized scope—reflects systematic CDBG-funded housing rehabilitation tied to lead remediation. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Texas (Lubbock dominates; San Antonio and Dallas both active), with secondary activity in California (Santa Clara), Georgia (DeKalb, Union City), and Colorado (Boulder). Representative recent solicitations include the City of Lubbock's CDBG Lead Based Paint Inspection and Risk Assessment projects (multiple ITBs with 10-to-12-day bidding windows, sealed bids due to the Community Development drop box, lump-sum pricing, state-certified personnel required, compliance with 24 CFR 570, 24 CFR 35, and 40 CFR 745); the Santa Clara County Lead Reclamation at Field Sports Park ITB (electronic bids due June 25, 2026, mandatory C-12 Earthwork and Paving Contractor licensing, prevailing wage, 10 percent bid security); and the Housing Authority of San Antonio's Lead Hazard Removal IFB at Alazan Apache Courts (bids due March 27, 2026, State of Texas general contractor licensing and EPA Lead Renovation Firm certification required, unit pricing for change orders, HUD small-business set-asides anticipated). Lubbock projects typically close within 10 to 14 days of posting; larger projects in other jurisdictions allow 4 to 8 weeks.
