NIGP 92658: Lead and Asbestos Inspection Services

NIGP 92658 Lead and Asbestos Inspection Services is an Item code that encompasses lead-based paint inspections and risk assessments, asbestos testing and abatement, and related environmental consulting across residential, commercial, and industrial properties. State and local governments procure these services primarily to support Community Development Block Grant–funded housing rehabilitation programs, school and daycare facility compliance with drinking water testing mandates, and facility remediation at state agencies and higher education institutions. The City of Lubbock Community Development Department dominates recent activity, issuing dozens of sealed-bid ITBs for lead-based paint inspection and risk assessment on single-family homes under CDBG funding; these appear monthly and typically carry response windows of 10–20 days. Beyond Lubbock, county and municipal governments are issuing RFPs for broader environmental consulting services—asbestos abatement, lead remediation, mold assessment, and indoor air quality testing—either as master services agreements with multiple awardees or as on-call frameworks. Texas State Technical College sought asbestos abatement proposals for a specific building at its Waco campus (mandatory pre-proposal conference, July 3, 2026 deadline). DeKalb County, Georgia, solicited 24/7 emergency disaster recovery and sewage cleaning services (ITB, August 13, 2026 deadline). The Texas A&M University System requested environmental services qualifications across member institutions, including asbestos and lead assessment and abatement, with a 2% Service-Disabled Veteran subcontracting goal and a master services agreement structure.

Lead and asbestos inspection activity is strongest in Texas, particularly in the Lubbock area and Austin, and in Georgia, with scattered activity in New York (Rockland County), Florida (Pembroke Pines, Waco), Nevada, and Oregon. The Texas Facilities Commission issued an RFP for comprehensive remediation and restoration services (including lead and asbestos remediation) across 81 state-owned facilities statewide, with proposals due May 28, 2026 and a mandatory 26% HUB Subcontracting Plan. The City of Waco Housing and Community Development Department released a multiple-award RFP for lead risk assessment and clearance reporting (July 23, 2026 deadline) with fixed fee schedules ($500 per lead inspection, $650 per mold inspection) and preference points for Veteran-Owned, Minority-Owned, and Woman-Owned Small Businesses. The Nevada Division of Conservation and Natural Resources solicited proposals for statewide WIIN water testing in preschools, daycare facilities, and elementary schools (estimated value $528,535 over two years, July 8, 2026 deadline). Opportunity concentration is highest in CDBG-funded single-property assessments and broader state-level facility management contracts; smaller jurisdictions and schools occasionally post narrow, property-specific scopes.
