NIGP 92654: Investigation Services, Pollution

NIGP 92654 Investigation Services, Pollution is an Item code under which state and local governments procure environmental testing, sampling, assessment, and research services addressing contamination surveys, hazardous materials analysis, disaster debris evaluation, and public health monitoring. Recent solicitations show a concrete scope: asbestos and lead testing at public facilities; water and air quality sampling; polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon and cotinine laboratory analysis; potentially responsible party searches and chain-of-title investigations for contaminated sites; per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS) evaluation of herbicides; and assessment and monitoring services for disaster debris and hazard tree removal. Issuing bodies include California state departments (Department of Toxic Substances Control, Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment, Department of General Services, California Governor's Office of Emergency Services), county governments (Orange County Public Works in California, Boulder County Parks and Open Space in Colorado), and municipal planning departments (City of Union City, Georgia). California dominates recent activity, appearing in five of six posted opportunities; single-posting activity in Colorado and Georgia suggests broader geographic distribution.
