NIGP 92623: Auditing Services, Environmental

NIGP 92623 Auditing Services, Environmental is an Item code. State and local governments procure environmental compliance auditing, water-quality monitoring and testing, NEPA documentation review, and specialized environmental assessment support under this code. The work spans water laboratory testing for regulatory compliance, waste-to-energy facility quality audits and emissions sampling, microplastics research support, environmental remediation site investigation and monitoring, air pollution control permitting and compliance assistance, and PREA facility audits. Issuing bodies include county environmental and water resource departments, city solid waste programs, state environmental agencies, and specialized districts managing water treatment and waste facilities. Recent solicitations show activity concentrated among California counties (Tuolumne County dominates the recent block with multiple environmental and fuels-reduction-related procurements), Florida municipalities managing water and waste infrastructure, Georgia state agencies and counties, and specialized state environmental boards.

Representative recent opportunities include the City of Ocala, Florida issuing an ITB for environmental water testing services covering wastewater and drinking water analyses for treatment facilities and labs with NELAP certification required and a three-year initial term (due May 7, 2026); the City of Tampa issuing an ITB for McKay Bay Waste to Energy Facility quality audits and CO2 sampling with a five-year sheltered-market contract for certified small local business enterprises at an estimated $90,000 and a mandatory pre-bid meeting on April 9, 2026; the California State Water Resources Control Board soliciting SOQs for CEQA compliance and environmental document preparation with a 60-month term, mandatory 3 percent DVBE participation, and interviews scheduled for the week of August 10, 2026; and the California Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment issuing an IFB for water sampling services to support microplastics research in drinking water under Senate Bill 1147, with a budget ceiling of $49,999 and a proposal deadline of May 29, 2026. Environmental testing and compliance work typically requires specialized certifications (NELAP, PREA, CEQA), three to five years of direct experience, and comprehensive liability insurance; contracts commonly run two to five years with optional renewals contingent on performance and funding.
