NIGP 92679: Recovery, Recycling, and Reclamation of Refrigerants

NIGP 92679 Recovery, Recycling, and Reclamation of Refrigerants, an Item code, covers the collection, transportation, processing, and recycling of used refrigerants and related hazardous materials from state and local government facilities. Recent solicitations show state and local governments procuring on-site collection services for used motor oil, oil filters, and antifreeze; lead acid battery recycling including collection, transportation, and disposal; household hazardous waste collection event management with waste identification, handling, and lawful disposal; and electronics recycling and de-manufacturing services for end-of-life equipment. Counties, cities, and special-purpose districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with county boards of county commissioners and city solid-waste or facilities departments appearing as repeat buyers. Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle, is aggregating demand across its participating local government entities for material processing and recycling equipment and related services, positioning itself as a centralized contracting platform for the code's scope.
