NIGP 94849: Hygiene Services, Industrial

NIGP 94849 Hygiene Services, Industrial (Item) encompasses employment physicals, drug and alcohol testing, occupational health screenings, and on-site industrial hygiene testing and monitoring — services state and local governments procure to comply with workplace safety regulations and protect employee health. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include school districts, state facility management agencies, and other public entities with workplace safety obligations. Austin Independent School District (AISD) and the State of Oregon Department of Administrative Services represent the recent buyer mix, with AISD seeking multi-vendor coverage for TCOLE physicals, DOT and non-DOT drug and alcohol testing, and occupational health services, while Oregon DAS is sourcing industrial hygiene testing and air quality monitoring across seven state-owned facilities.

Activity under the code concentrates in Texas and Oregon, with recent solicitations showing both episodic demand (AISD's RFP 27RFP002 issued April 18, 2026 for employment physicals and drug testing with a May 5, 2026 response deadline) and ongoing facility-management hygiene work (Oregon DAS's RFP S1070000016147 issued April 6, 2026 for industrial hygiene services across Salem, Portland, Clackamas, Hillsboro, Wilsonville, Eugene, and Pendleton with a May 7, 2026 deadline and a not-to-exceed contract value of $350,000). AISD's procurement weights financial proposals at 40 points and requires General Liability coverage of $1,000,000 per occurrence and Professional Liability of $1,000,000 minimum; Oregon DAS awards on a Time and Materials basis with hourly billing rates as one evaluation factor and mandates Professional Liability of $500,000 per occurrence and Pollution Liability of $500,000 per occurrence. Both procurements offer set-aside or preference consideration for disadvantaged and minority-owned firms and require specialized certifications — TCOLE and DOT compliance for AISD, and at least one Certified Industrial Hygienist for Oregon DAS.
