NIGP 92654: Investigation Services, Pollution

NIGP 92654 Investigation Services, Pollution (Item) covers field and laboratory environmental contamination assessment, including chain-of-title and potentially responsible party (PRP) searches, hazardous substance analysis, and site investigation support services that state and local governments procure to identify contamination sources, document property histories, and characterize pollutants at brownfield and Superfund sites. State environmental agencies—particularly the California Department of Toxic Substances Control and the California Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment—dominate recent activity under this code, with single-issue jurisdictions like counties and special-purpose environmental districts also soliciting investigation and analytical work tied to remediation mandates and health monitoring programs.

Recent opportunities span PRP and chain-of-title search services supporting contamination liability assessment, laboratory analysis of hazardous compounds in human and environmental samples, water and soil sampling under contamination-control protocols, and SCADA system support at active remediation sites. The California Department of Toxic Substances Control posted RFP# 2627-07 in July 2026 seeking PRP search and title search services with proposals due August 13, 2026 under a two-year, not-to-exceed $950,000 contract with renewal option; the California Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment issued an IFB in May 2026 for laboratory analysis of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and cotinine in urine samples collected from residents near oil refineries, with a contract value capped at $176,000 and deliverables due through March 31, 2028; and Boulder County Parks and Open Space in Colorado issued a non-binding Request for Information in May 2026 to assess vendor capabilities for evaluating PFAS and PFOS content in herbicides. California accounts for the bulk of posted activity, with additional work emerging in Colorado and Georgia. Small business preferences, disabled veteran business enterprise participation, and Target Area Contract Preference Act eligibility feature prominently in California opportunities.
