NIGP 92656: Lead Abatement Supervisor

NIGP 92656 Lead Abatement Supervisor, an Item code, encompasses lead-based paint inspections, risk assessments, abatement, and remediation services that state and local governments procure for residential properties, schools, and public facilities. Recent opportunities show cities and counties purchasing comprehensive lead assessment and removal work across Community Development Block Grant-funded housing rehabilitation projects, with specialized supervisory and certification requirements tied to federal lead-safety regulations.

State and local buyers under this code span city community development departments, county health agencies, and school districts. The City of Lubbock Community Development Department is a standout repeat buyer, posting dozens of sealed-bid procurements since May 2026 for lead-based paint inspections and risk assessments on individual CDBG-funded residential properties. Other recurring issuers include county health and development offices seeking lead abatement and remediation services on a qualified-supplier-list basis. Recent activity concentrates in Texas (Lubbock, Houston, Jackson County, Missouri), Florida (Pasco County), Connecticut (Bridgeport), New York (Rockland County), and Georgia (Union City), with Texas dominating the volume. Representative opportunities include Rockland County Department of Community Development's RFP for Lead Abatement and Remediation Services and Consulting under a QSL agreement (due July 9, 2026), requiring licensed professionals to perform full lead abatement, inspections, risk assessments, and hazard remediation on eligible rental units; the City of Detroit Office of Contracting and Procurement's RFP 550632 for Environmental Investigation Firms (due October 1, 2026, pre-proposal conference September 10), seeking lead inspections, clearance inspections, elevated blood lead investigations, and other hazmat surveys across multiple Detroit sites with Michigan Department of Health and Human Services accreditation and certified-staff requirements; and the Texas Facilities Commission's RFP 0007615 for Remediation and Restoration Services (due May 28, 2026, contract start September 1, 2026), encompassing lead remediation across 81 state-owned Texas facilities with EPA Lead-Safe Certification and IICRC certifications required. CDBG-funded housing rehabilitation procurements under this code typically require state-certified inspectors, XRF testing, dust wipe sampling, soil sampling, and detailed reporting; contract terms range from single-property inspections to multi-unit qualified-supplier lists with unit-by-unit work authorization. Detroit's procurement offers up to 5 Detroit Equalization Credits for Detroit-based firms and a Priority Hire option, while Rockland County's reissued QSL serves an active Lead Prevention Pilot Program on a rolling intake basis.
