NIGP 96239: Hauling Services

NIGP 96239 Hauling Services is an Item code capturing the transportation and disposal of materials ranging from construction debris and vegetation to hazardous waste, biosolids, and mine reclamation byproducts. State and local governments procure hauling under this code to move generated waste streams, demolition materials, excavated earth, and specialty substances to authorized disposal or processing facilities, typically on either one-time or term-contract bases with pricing structured per ton, per load, per cubic yard, or hourly rates. Recent solicitations show cities, counties, water authorities, and state environmental agencies soliciting hauling services across debris removal, waste transportation, recycling material movement, and infrastructure project support.

The issuing-body mix spans county boards of supervisors, municipal departments (public works, water utilities, parks and recreation), water districts, state natural resource and transportation departments, and special authorities. County governments and cities dominate recent activity; repeat buyers include Pasco County, Collier County, and Palm Beach County in Florida, Henry County in Georgia, and the City of San Antonio in Texas. Geographic concentration is strongest in Florida, Texas, Georgia, and the upper Midwest, with recent solicitations also posted in Illinois, Michigan, California, Mississippi, and Oregon. Representative opportunities include Polk County, Florida's mulching and disposal services for vegetative waste (ITB 2026-078, due August 13, 2026), City of St. Petersburg's transportation and yard waste recycling (RFP26275, due August 20, 2026), Harris County's emergency debris removal and management (RFP 260066, grant-funded, due June 8, 2026), and the City of Brownsville's excavation, loading, and hauling services term contract (RFQ 28826EPWIFB, due August 4, 2026). Term contracts typically run three to five years with optional renewals; emergency debris contracts often include mobilization fees, hourly equipment rates, and per-load or per-ton pricing. Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements apply to federally funded work, and many solicitations require performance bonds, insurance coverage (general liability $1–2 million per occurrence), and compliance with state environmental and transportation regulations. Local vendor preferences appear in multiple jurisdictions, and small business participation goals (SBE, MBE, WBE) are common in larger metropolitan procurements.
