NIGP 95859: Industrial Management Services

NIGP 95859 Industrial Management Services, an Item code, encompasses chemical supply and delivery, facility maintenance and inspection, professional services procurement, and specialized operational support that state and local governments currently buy. Recent solicitations show state environmental agencies, wastewater treatment systems, counties, municipalities, and special-purpose districts purchasing bulk chemical supply and delivery (ferric chloride, sodium hypochlorite, sulfuric acid, methanol, quicklime, and polymer conditioning agents for wastewater treatment); facility maintenance and inspection services (bay door maintenance across multiple county locations); professional evaluation and project management services; and executive search services. The Maryland Environmental Service appears as the most frequent issuing body across the recent opportunities block, conducting multiple competitive sealed bid procurements designated as Small Business Reserve (SBR) solicitations restricting awards to certified small businesses. Other repeat buyers include state departments of technology, special-purpose taxing districts, county governments, and municipalities. The work solicited splits between chemical supply contracts (the dominant category) with fixed or indexed pricing, delivery compliance measured in hours to days, and technical specifications tied to ANSI/AWWA or equivalent standards; and discrete professional services procurement (evaluation support, project management, executive search, training) evaluated on capability, experience, and cost.

Recent activity concentrates in Maryland, California, and Florida. Maryland Environmental Service procurements dominate the block, with solicitations for methanol, sodium bisulfite solution, ferric chloride, sulfuric acid, sodium hypochlorite, granular quicklime, liquid polymer, and polyaluminum chloride across multiple wastewater and correctional facility treatment plants. California issued RFPs for Salesforce maintenance and operations (California Employment Development Department, RFP 3475, proposals due July 21, 2026) and comprehensive evaluation services for early-childhood programs (First 5 California, RFP CFF 7783, proposals due May 19, 2026, maximum award $1,500,000). Florida posted multiple ITBs for chemical supply (ferric sulfate and sulfuric acid to Central Florida Tourism Oversight District, bids due June 18 and June 17, 2026 respectively) and issued an Invitation to Negotiate for project management services to Florida Atlantic University (FOOE project management, proposals due April 17, 2026). Additional activity includes Milwaukee County's IFB for pool treatment chemicals (bids due May 25, 2026), Marion County Florida's RFQ for bay door maintenance (bids due May 7, 2026), and Georgia's municipal City Manager executive search RFP (proposals due February 18, 2026).
