NIGP 96874: Street Sweeping Services

NIGP 96874 Street Sweeping Services is an Item code under which state and local governments procure routine mechanical and manual sweeping of streets, parking lots, parks, and public spaces, with work encompassing debris removal, litter collection, and surface maintenance using truck-mounted or mechanical equipment. Recent solicitations show active demand across cities and counties for both scheduled cyclical sweeping (weekly, bi-weekly, or multi-cycle-per-year routes) and on-call litter removal, with issuing bodies spanning municipal public works departments, county transportation authorities, state agencies, and special taxing districts. The work ranges from modest neighborhood-scale contracts to county-wide programs covering hundreds of linear miles and millions of square feet of paved surface. Typical scope includes sweeping between curb and pavement, debris collection and disposal, GPS tracking of routes and crew compliance, pressure washing and steam cleaning when bundled with parking-lot maintenance, and coordination with city-owned transfer stations or approved disposal facilities. Insurance requirements are consistent across opportunities—commercial general liability of $1 million per occurrence, workers' compensation, and often automobile liability. Contractors frequently must supply their own equipment (sweepers, vacuum trucks, GPS systems) and bear disposal costs, though some municipalities provide free disposal at municipal facilities.

Issuing bodies posting under this code include primarily cities (Tampa, Houston, Dallas, Louisville, Tucson, Ocala, Dunwoody, Norwalk, Adairsville, New Haven), counties (Hillsborough, Pinellas, DeKalb), state departments (California Department of Motor Vehicles, California Highway Patrol, Maryland Department of Transportation, California Employment Development Department), special districts (Central Florida Tourism Oversight District), school districts (Jordan School District), and tribal governments. California DMV has posted multiple property-sweeping set-asides for certified small businesses at field offices (Oxnard, Santa Teresa, Merced). Geographic spread is broad but concentrated in Florida (Ocala, Dunwoody, Tampa, St. Petersburg, Hillsborough County, Pinellas County), California (multiple DMV and state venues), Arizona (Tucson, Phoenix metro), Georgia (Atlanta, Dunwoody, DeKalb), and scattered Midwest and Northeast jurisdictions. Recent representative opportunities include the City of Richardson, Texas litter removal for parks under ITB 03-27 (bids due November 5, 2026) covering 64 locations and 31.6 million square feet at approximately $285,000 annually; the California Department of Motor Vehicles Oxnard DMV property sweeping and pressure washing under a Certified Small Business set-aside (bids due October 23, 2026) for 119,834 square feet of paved surfaces at approximately $86,643 over 36 months; Hillsborough County street sweeping (ITB-26-00408, bids due October 2, 2026, extended by addendum) covering 1,800 linear miles across seventeen municipalities at $1.564 million over two years; and the City of Ocala street sweeping for 200 curbed center lane miles and eight parking lots under ITB PWD/260828 (bids due July 6, 2026) with seasonal frequency variation and mandatory GPS tracking compliance.
