NIGP 91813: Asbestos Consulting

NIGP 91813 Asbestos Consulting, an Item code, encompasses on-site project management, bulk sampling and laboratory analysis, air monitoring, abatement oversight, and compliance documentation for asbestos-containing materials in buildings and facilities. State and local buyers under this code solicit testing, consulting, and project supervision services to support compliance with EPA and state asbestos regulations, often bundled with lead and mold assessment work. Recent activity shows university facilities management, county housing authorities, municipal courts, and county development agencies issuing RFPs and IFBs for asbestos project oversight, air monitoring during abatement activities, and environmental site assessment consulting. Issuing bodies include higher-education institutions (Midwestern State University, Texas A&M University System), county departments (Clackamas County Housing Authority in Oregon, Bergen County in New Jersey, Rockland County in New York), city procurement offices (Los Angeles Superior Court, College Park, Georgia), and county development authorities (Rome Floyd County Development Authority in Georgia). Work scopes commonly require Texas or state-specific asbestos consultant and worker licenses, professional liability insurance with pollution coverage, and demonstrated compliance with state air-monitoring standards. A small share of opportunities pair asbestos services with broader environmental consulting (lead, mold, Phase I/II assessments) or demolition work.
