NIGP 92856: Oil Collection Services, Waste

NIGP 92856 Oil Collection Services, Waste (Item) encompasses the collection, testing, transportation, and disposal of used oils and oil-derived waste streams from municipal, utility, educational, and county fleet and facility operations. State and local buyers soliciting under this code are acquiring services to manage waste oils from electrical transformers and equipment, grease trap and septic tank residues, used motor oils, and specialty hazardous oil-based streams such as PFAS-containing aqueous film-forming foams. Issuing bodies include electric utilities, city departments of public works and parks, county general services and fleet operations, school districts, and regional transit authorities. Recent solicitations show that utilities are the most active repeat buyers, with Lubbock Power & Light issuing back-to-back RFPs for insulating oil testing laboratory services and used oil-filled equipment decommissioning, both with annual pricing and renewal options. The scope spans technical testing and diagnostics (dissolved gas analysis, furan analysis, moisture testing, condition assessment per IEEE and IEC standards), waste characterization and manifesting (chain-of-custody documentation, spill response), and end-of-life management across multiple facility types and tank sizes.

Activity concentrates in Texas, California, and Georgia.
