NIGP 96282: Silver Recovery Services

NIGP 96282 Silver Recovery Services is an Item code that encompasses state and local government procurement of specialized equipment and materials recovery—though recent solicitations reveal a divergence between the legacy code name and actual buying patterns. The two most recent opportunities posted under this code involve irrigation system installation (City of DeBary, Florida) and commercial-grade recliners with county branding (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners). State and local governments are not actively soliciting silver recovery services under this code at present; instead, municipalities and county governments use it for capital projects and equipment procurement that may involve ancillary material reclamation or replacement of existing infrastructure systems. The issuing-body mix includes municipal governments and county governments, with no school districts, transit authorities, or special-purpose districts visible in recent postings.

Activity under the code clusters in Florida, with the City of DeBary and Hillsborough County as recent buyers. The City of DeBary issued a competitive bid (Bid 03-15) for Rob Sullivan Park Irrigation Improvements, a $90,000 project involving conversion of existing irrigation from a Baseline system to a Hunter system, with a mandatory pre-bid conference held on March 25, 2015, and bids due April 10, 2015, at 10:00 AM. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issued an ITB (ITB-26-00331) for 100 commercial-grade recliners customized with county branding, estimated at $130,999.00, with bids due July 31, 2026; the resulting contract was available to members of the Hillsborough County Governmental Purchasing Council, a cooperative purchasing vehicle spanning 20 local governmental agencies.
