NIGP 96339: Fees (Not Otherwise Classified)

NIGP 96339 Fees (Not Otherwise Classified), an Item code, encompasses environmental mitigation credits, hazardous waste disposal services, specialized professional consulting, and transaction-based services that state and local governments purchase to comply with environmental regulations, manage operations, and support infrastructure projects. Recent solicitations show state departments of transportation, water authorities, school districts, and municipal governments acquiring wetland and species habitat mitigation credits to offset project impacts; hazardous waste collection, testing, and disposal; title and escrow services for property transactions; recycling and waste removal; and professional services including fee studies, revenue audits, and engineering qualifications. The code captures a diverse mix of commodity and service purchases united by their treatment as direct fees or transaction costs rather than labor or equipment procurement.

The code sees activity across state environmental and transportation agencies, with the Florida Department of Transportation and California Department of Transportation appearing repeatedly as high-volume buyers of mitigation credits and hazardous waste disposal. Smaller jurisdictions including towns (Billerica, Franklin, Amherst in Massachusetts; Frisco, Texas), school districts (Buffalo Public Schools), and regional authorities (Tampa Bay Water, Bergen County Utilities Authority, Santa Clara Valley Healthcare) also solicit under this code. Geographically, Florida and California dominate recent opportunity volume, particularly through their respective transportation departments' mitigation credit acquisitions and hazardous waste disposal contracts, with secondary activity in Massachusetts, New York, Texas, New Jersey, and Utah. Representative solicitations include the Florida Department of Transportation's ITB16460 (purchase of freshwater herbaceous and forested wetland mitigation functional credits, due July 29, 2026); Caltrans IFB 07A6378 and 07A6377 (hazardous waste disposal services in Los Angeles and Ventura Counties, responses due late April 2026); multiple Caltrans title and escrow service IFBs across California counties (Santa Cruz, Stanislaus, Monterey areas, due June–July 2026); and Buffalo Public Schools RFP 270627E5008 (hazardous waste management and disposal, due April 23, 2026). Tarrant County College District's RFP26013 for a Student Payment Center (due August 11, 2026) and the County of San Mateo's Department User Fee Study RFP (due March 30, 2026) illustrate broader fiscal and administrative service categories also coded here.
