NIGP 92655: Lead Abatement Project Designer

NIGP 92655 Lead Abatement Project Designer, Item, covers lead-based paint inspection, risk assessment, and abatement consulting services that state and local governments procure to support residential rehabilitation and facility renovation projects. The City of Lubbock Community Development Department represents the dominant buyer activity under this code, issuing multiple sealed-bid invitations (ITBs) throughout 2026 for lead-based paint inspections and risk assessments on single-family homes funded through Community Development Block Grant resources, with representative recent procurements including ITB 2026-125GD (Casarez, due July 13, 2026), ITB 2026-122GD (Rodriguez, due June 8, 2026), and ITB 2026-101GD (Gutierrez, due May 11, 2026). Beyond Lubbock, Rockland County Department of Community Development in New York issued a reopen qualified supplier list RFP (RFPRC2024055A, due July 9, 2026) for full lead abatement and remediation services under its Lead Prevention Pilot Program, requiring licensed professionals to perform inspections, risk assessments, and removal of all friction surfaces identified as lead hazards, with the County selecting contractors from the list on a unit-by-unit basis as eligible rental properties are identified. Fulton County Schools in Georgia (RFQUAL 402-27, due July 23, 2026) sought hazardous-materials consultant qualifications covering asbestos and lead-based paint site surveys, air clearance testing, and bid document preparation for abatement work. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut also issued a seal-bid IFB for enabling, demolition, and abatement services as Phase 1 of a school renovation (ITB COB040265, due May 20, 2026, now closed), requiring mandatory pre-bid attendance and licensing compliance.

Activity under this code concentrates in Texas, with the City of Lubbock issuing the plurality of recent solicitations targeting minor residential rehabilitation projects where lead inspection precedes construction work, and secondary activity appearing in New York (Rockland County), Georgia (Fulton County Schools, Atlanta Public Schools' broader environmental testing RFP), Connecticut (Bridgeport), Colorado (Boulder County abatement and deconstruction), and Florida (Pasco County flood abatement). Issuing bodies span city community development departments, county governments, school districts, and special-purpose authorities. Most Lubbock procurements follow a consistent pattern: sealed ITBs for single-property inspections and risk assessments, tight response windows (seven to seventeen days), and delivery to a central community development drop box. Larger-scope opportunities—such as Rockland County's QSL for full-service abatement, Fulton County Schools' multi-project hazmat consultant framework, and Bridgeport's school-renovation enabling and abatement phase—reflect broader renovation and decontamination needs where lead work is one component. CDBG compliance and prevailing-wage requirements appear consistently in Lubbock-sourced work; insurability, state-level licensing, and federal debarment certification are standard qualifications across all jurisdictions.
