NIGP 91108: C.i.p., Asbestos

NIGP 91108 C.i.p., Asbestos is an Item code covering asbestos abatement and removal services that state and local governments procure for building demolition, renovation, and remediation work. Recent solicitations show governments buying comprehensive asbestos survey, removal, and disposal services—including popcorn and spray-on ceiling texture removal, floor tile and mastic extraction, pipe insulation abatement, and fire-door remediation—typically paired with broader demolition or construction projects. School districts, counties, cities, and university systems issue these bids, often as standalone abatement contracts or integrated components of larger capital improvement projects. Dougherty County Board of Education in Georgia, Boulder County in Colorado, the City of Atlanta, and the Beaufort-Jasper Water and Sewer Authority in South Carolina have all solicited asbestos abatement services in the past six months. Contractors must typically hold state asbestos certification (Georgia-certified asbestos abatement contractor status is a common threshold), carry pollution liability and comprehensive general liability insurance, and meet bonding requirements scaled to project cost.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (Dougherty County, DeKalb County, City of Atlanta), with additional recent solicitations in Colorado (Boulder County) and South Carolina (Beaufort-Jasper Water and Sewer Authority). Representative opportunities include Dougherty County Board of Education's IFB 27-FAC-001 Asbestos Abatement at Sylvandale Complex (due August 11, 2026, mandatory pre-bid and site walk July 21, 2026, Georgia-licensed prime contractor required), Boulder County Public Works' RFP 283-26 for abatement and deconstruction at the Copper Door facility in Boulder, Colorado (due May 28, 2026, mandatory pre-proposal meeting May 6, 2026, 100-point scoring across experience, permitting knowledge, past performance, and cost), and the City of Atlanta's multi-step competitive sealed bid process for citywide demolition and asbestos abatement services across over 500 structures over five years (prequalification phase began March 31, 2026, requiring Georgia asbestos certification and Level 1A soil-and-water conservation credentials). Performance and payment bonds, site safety plans, and compliance with local permitting and EPA NESHAP regulations are standard contract requirements.
