NIGP 92685: Soil, Soil Vapor, and Groundwater Sampling and Analysis (Including Disposal)

NIGP 92685 Soil, Soil Vapor, and Groundwater Sampling and Analysis (Including Disposal), an Item code, encompasses laboratory testing of environmental samples—soil, groundwater, water, sludge, and related matrices—drawn from contaminated sites, remediation projects, and regulatory monitoring programs. State and local governments procure these services to support landfill operations, underground storage tank remediation, Superfund site investigations, environmental permitting, and drinking water safety compliance. The issuing-body mix spans state environmental agencies (Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, California Environmental Protection Agency, State of Georgia), county waste and public works departments (Escambia County, Pasco County, Santa Clara County), city public utilities and environmental divisions (Long Beach, Orlando, Eugene, Union City), and special-purpose authorities (Tampa Bay Water). Florida municipalities and California state agencies dominate recent activity, reflecting concentrated environmental remediation and water-quality oversight programs in those jurisdictions.

Recent opportunities illustrate the code's scope and geographic distribution. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality is soliciting Superfund Engineering Services (RFQ 582-27-00400, due June 15, 2026) for comprehensive remediation and oversight including field sampling and feasibility studies at Superfund sites statewide. The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) issued an IFB for wash rack sump services across nine Bay Area and North Coast counties (IFB 04A7567, due June 30, 2026), encompassing sampling services and liquid analysis for oil water separators and confined spaces. The Long Beach Public Utilities Department procured professional laboratory services for chemical, physical, radiological, and microbiological testing of water, wastewater, soil, and sludge samples (RFP UD-26-311, due March 5, 2026), with awards to Eurofins Eaton Analytical and Weck Laboratories. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality also issued a separate RFQ for Laboratory Analysis Services statewide (582-27-00030, due March 23, 2026), requiring fixed pricing across 200-plus analytes with a five-year contract value estimated at $1.12 million and multiple awards anticipated. Escambia County Waste Services sought groundwater monitoring reports for four landfills (RFP PD2526045, due February 27, 2026). Pasco County and Caltrans have each posted multiple environmental sampling and testing opportunities, signaling repeat procurement activity. Set-asides and preferences appear selectively—Caltrans incorporated DVBE mandatory participation and SB preferences in wash rack services procurement, while the TCEQ laboratory procurement included VetHUB and federal DBE requirements.
