NIGP 92653: Industrial Hygiene Testing Services

NIGP 92653 Industrial Hygiene Testing Services is an Item code covering occupational exposure sampling, analytical laboratory testing, hazard assessment, and compliance consultation that state and local governments procure to support workplace safety compliance, facility certification, and environmental health investigations. State and local issuing bodies—municipal utilities, cities, counties, and state departments—solicit these services to manage industrial hygiene program operations, regulatory compliance (including lead-based paint, mold, asbestos, and PFAS evaluations), and occupational safety training delivery. The work spans direct exposure sampling and field-site analysis, contracted laboratory services for asbestos fibers, crystalline silica, heavy metals, organic vapors, and other hazardous-substance identification, BSL-3 biological safety cabinet and fume-hood certification, lead and mold risk assessment in residential properties, environmental site characterization and remediation planning, and regulatory licensing support for radiation safety and hazardous-waste programs. Issuing bodies include municipal utilities (Orlando Utilities Commission), cities (Houston, Bradenton, Waco, Pembroke Pines), and state-level departments (Nevada Division of Industrial Relations). Representative recent opportunities include Orlando Utilities Commission RFP 9174 for comprehensive occupational safety training, industrial hygiene services, and radiation compliance support (response due May 27, 2026); the State of Nevada Department of Business and Industry's informal competitive procurement for Industrial Hygiene Analytical Laboratory Services across 32 analytical disciplines (due May 20, 2026); and the City of Pembroke Pines RFQ PL-26-01 for environmental specialists to conduct lead and mold assessments in residential properties, with contracts to two to three firms at fixed fee schedules (lead inspections $500, mold inspections $650) and Davis-Bacon Act and Section 3 compliance requirements tied to HUD funding (due July 21, 2026).

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Nevada, with secondary activity in Texas, Colorado, and Georgia. The Orlando Utilities Commission RFP requires bidders to hold at least one Certified Industrial Hygienist (CIH) or Certified Safety Professional (CSP) credential, maintain specialized instructor certifications (CPR/First Aid, confined-space rescue, HAZMAT, radiation safety), and provide three references; the three-year contract with two one-year renewal options involves lump-sum pricing per class session plus hourly rates for supplemental industrial hygiene services. The State of Nevada procurement evaluates on demonstrated competence (15 percent), experience in comparable engagements (15 percent), conformance to terms (10 percent), key personnel expertise and availability (10 percent), and cost and methodology (50 percent), with AIHA Laboratory Accreditations required and contract commencement anticipated July 1, 2026 for a four-year term. The City of Waco RFP 2026-020 for lead risk assessment and clearance reporting is structured as a multiple-award contract for shared services under CDBG funding (not to exceed $50,000 annually), with a one-year term plus automatic two one-year renewals and pricing increases capped at 3 percent, while the City of Pembroke Pines RFQ extends VBE, MBE, and WBE preference points and requires Section 3 compliance documentation and E-Verify verification due to HUD program funding.
