NIGP 96846: Incinerator Services (to Include Ash Vacuuming)

NIGP 96846 Incinerator Services (To Include Ash Vacuuming) is an Item code that encompasses equipment procurement, installation, commissioning, and operational support for animal-cremation and animal-carcass incineration facilities serving municipal animal care and control agencies. State and local governments buy furnishing and delivery of new incinerator units; demolition and removal of existing equipment; installation, testing, and commissioning labor; operator training; and maintenance plans and warranty coverage compliant with EPA, state environmental protection, and occupational safety regulations governing animal cremation and carcass disposal.

Activity under this code concentrates in county and municipal animal care departments. Henry County, Georgia appears as a repeat buyer, posting two versions of the same Incinerator for Animal Care and Control bid (Bid 27-12) in August and October 2026, both with responses due in September or October 2026 and mandatory pre-bid conferences and site visits. The City of San Antonio posted an Animal Care Services Crematorium Replacement solicitation on October 2, 2026, with proposals due November 3, 2026. Both the Henry County and San Antonio solicitations emphasize regulatory compliance with EPA and state environmental and occupational standards, plus operator training and warranty requirements (Henry County specified one-year parts and labor warranty and two-year paint warranty; San Antonio required commissioning and training as part of award scope). Henry County's solicitation imposed zero percent DBE participation goals with good-faith efforts required toward small, local, veteran-owned, and minority or woman-owned businesses. Georgia and the Southeast support recent activity; no other geographic concentrations appear in the source material.
