NIGP 91790: Rental of Containers

NIGP 91790 Rental of Containers, an Item code, covers the purchase and lease of metal roll-off and grapple containers for solid waste, recyclables, and related material handling — a service state and local governments procure primarily through county environmental and solid waste departments and municipal public-works agencies. Recent solicitations show jurisdictions buying open-top roll-off containers in multiple cubic-yard sizes (typically 10, 20, 30, and 40 cubic yards) constructed to specification with high-carbon steel, welding, and industrial-grade finishes, as well as containerized service agreements in which vendors provide pickup, transportation, and delivery of filled containers from multiple facility locations to central receiving points. Counties and cities issue these procurements as Invitations for Bid (IFB) and Requests for Bid (RFB) to establish supply contracts or service relationships on one-year or multi-year terms with optional renewals. Bidders typically must demonstrate three to five years of prior business operation, register with E-Verify, carry Commercial General Liability insurance of $1 million or more per occurrence, and submit five-percent bid bonds. Contracts are awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida, where Clay County Board of County Commissioners issued an RFB in August 2026 (due September 3, 2026) for grapple and roll-off container services supporting four Environmental Convenience Centers and the Rosemary Hill Solid Waste Management Facility, with service requirements including 20, 30, and 40 cubic yard containers, pickup Monday through Saturday, and a three-year initial term running through September 30, 2029, plus two optional one-year renewals. The City of Leesburg, Florida posted an IFB in September 2026 (due January 22, 2026) for 32 open-top roll-off metal containers across four sizes for its Solid Waste Department, with a one-year term and four optional one-year renewal periods. Both solicitations are active and represent the two primary procurement models under this code — containerized equipment purchase and containerized service delivery.
