NIGP 92658: Lead and Asbestos Inspection Services

NIGP 92658 Lead and Asbestos Inspection Services, an Item code, encompasses lead-based paint inspections and risk assessments, asbestos surveys and abatement planning, air quality testing, water sampling and testing, mold assessment, radon testing, and related environmental hazard identification and remediation oversight that state and local governments are actively procuring to comply with federal housing programs, building safety codes, and environmental remediation requirements. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include city community development departments, county governments, transit authorities, special-purpose districts, state agencies, and higher education institutions. Recent activity shows a substantial volume of lead and asbestos inspection work, particularly from small cities and counties conducting single-property assessments under Community Development Block Grant funding, alongside larger environmental consulting contracts established by state universities, regional authorities, and major cities seeking to qualify multiple providers for ongoing task-order work.

Geographic spread of recent opportunities spans Florida, Georgia, Texas, Ohio, Washington, Nevada, and Oregon, with notable concentration in Texas (the City of Lubbock Community Development has posted dozens of lead-inspection and minor-rehabilitation ITBs since mid-June 2026) and Florida. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Houston's RFQ PES20260016 for professional environmental consulting services complying with the National Environmental Policy Act and Clean Water Act (responses due November 5, 2026); the City of Orlando's RFQ 26-0340 for Construction Engineering and Inspection services on water reclamation facility projects requiring Florida professional engineering licensure (responses due April 16, 2026); the Unified Government of Athens-Clarke County's RFP for asbestos and lead testing, nuisance abatement, and controlled demolition (responses due October 20, 2026, with Addendum I revising evaluation criteria and pricing); the City of Waco's RFP 2026-020 for lead risk assessment and clearance reporting under CDBG and Lead Safe Housing Rule requirements (proposals due July 23, 2026); and Midwestern State University's RFP 735-2026-4428 for asbestos abatement oversight with a $100,000 not-to-exceed annual value and best-value evaluation weighting labor rates at 40 percent and past performance at 25 percent (responses due August 13, 2026). Activity includes both single-project ITBs and multi-year task-order frameworks; many procurements carry CDBG, HUD, or prevailing-wage compliance requirements, and several require professional licensure in the issuing jurisdiction.
