NIGP 926: Environmental and Ecological Services

NIGP 926 Environmental And Ecological Services is a Class code encompassing remediation, cleaning, testing, and facility management work that state and local governments buy to address environmental contamination, waste management, stormwater control, and ecological restoration. Recent solicitations show state and local bodies procuring asbestos abatement, mold remediation, janitorial and custodial services, hazardous waste cleanup, laboratory analysis for environmental compliance, stormwater and wastewater system improvements, and forest fuels reduction—work ranging from emergency response to planned infrastructure upgrades across diverse facility types including detention centers, airports, schools, water reclamation facilities, and landfills.

The issuing-body mix spans county health and sheriff departments, municipal departments of public works and facilities management, school districts, specialized authorities (wastewater utilities, waste and recycling divisions), state environmental agencies, and regional water districts. County procurement offices appear frequently as repeat buyers, particularly Orange County, California and Tuolumne County, California. Geographic spread is national, with recent activity in California (Orange, Tuolumne), Colorado, Florida (Orange County), Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Texas, Utah, and Arizona. Representative recent opportunities include the County of Orange, California soliciting countywide janitorial services across multiple county departments and facilities (RFP-017-2988904-JC, proposals due October 27, 2026) covering routine, periodic, and emergency cleaning of offices, public spaces, restrooms, detention facilities, and clinical environments with prevailing wage requirements and five-year terms; the City of Dallas establishing a 60-month indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity price agreement for cleaning and disposal of sand traps, grease traps, septic tanks, storm vaults, and interceptors (IFB, proposals due August 14, 2026); and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment requesting bids for EPA Five-Year Reviews at five Superfund sites statewide (IFB 1-2027000002, approximately $370,000 fixed-price award, proposals due July 27, 2026). Set-asides and preferences vary by jurisdiction—Orange County applies 5 to 8 percent price deductions for local small-business and disabled-veteran certifications; prevailing wage requirements apply to public works and detention-facility projects in California, Colorado, and Pennsylvania; and bond and insurance requirements are standard.
