NIGP 92629: Contaminated Groundwater Services (Including Discharge Pipe Installation)

NIGP 92629 Contaminated Groundwater Services (Including Discharge Pipe Installation), an Item code, covers hydrogeologic consulting, groundwater monitoring, laboratory testing, remediation engineering, and related environmental compliance work that state and local governments procure to manage aquifers, landfill impact zones, Superfund sites, and water quality. Recent solicitations show utilities departments and environmental protection agencies buying feasibility studies, design and permitting support, construction oversight, groundwater treatment operations, laboratory analysis of volatile organics and inorganics, remedial action plans, and operational testing for water supply and disposal wells. Issuing bodies include county utilities departments (Pinellas County Utilities in Florida; Sacramento County Department of Waste Management and Recycling in California; Escambia County Waste Services in Florida), state environmental agencies (Texas Commission on Environmental Quality; Nevada Division of Environmental Protection), and municipal utilities (City of Phoenix Water Service Department). The code draws activity from water and wastewater utilities facing regulatory compliance obligations, counties managing landfill groundwater impacts under FDEP or EPA oversight, and state agencies addressing mine reclamation and Superfund remediation.

Activity concentrates in Florida, California, Texas, and Nevada, where groundwater contamination, landfill monitoring, and remediation obligations drive recurring procurement. Representative current opportunities include Pinellas County Utilities' RFQ 26-0616-CCNAC for five-year hydrogeologic consulting services supporting aquifer storage and recovery, deep disposal wells, and monitoring wells (due August 11, 2026, with $5 million estimated value and 10 percent small business enterprise subconsultant commitment for assignments exceeding $50,000); Sacramento County Department of Waste Management and Recycling's RFP 2026GEN0045 for laboratory testing services across three landfill facilities with EPA volatile and semi-volatile organics, PFAS, and metals analysis on a three-year minimum term; Texas Commission on Environmental Quality's RFQ 582-27-00400 for Superfund engineering across state sites with five-year term through August 2031 (feasibility, remedial design, remedial action oversight, and groundwater treatment plant operations); and Nevada Division of Environmental Protection's RFP 70CNRS3893 for Certified Environmental Manager services managing interim mine site fluid operations statewide on a four-year term with two one-year renewal options beginning January 2027. Set-asides and local preferences vary: Pinellas County requires SBE participation; Nevada applies 5 percent preference to Nevada-based vendors; Texas imposes HUB Subcontracting Plan requirements; and Escambia County weights local presence and years in the county in evaluation. Contract structures blend lump-sum, hourly rates, and unit pricing; professional registration (PE, PG) and insurance minimums of $1 million to $2 million professional liability are standard.
