NIGP 97182: Toilets, Portable, Rental or Lease

NIGP 97182 Toilets, Portable, Rental Or Lease, an Item code, encompasses rental and servicing of portable restrooms and hand-washing stations for deployment at parks, events, municipal facilities, and emergency operations. State and local governments are actively procuring standard and ADA-accessible units with routine cleaning, sanitization, full tank pumping, supply restocking, and emergency response capabilities, often on an as-needed or seasonal basis. Eastern Municipal Water District (RFP3958, due August 15, 2026), the Consolidated Government of Columbus, Georgia (RFB 26-0036, due June 24, 2026), and the City of New Haven (ITB 2026-ITB-367, due June 10, 2026) represent recent representative opportunities across Parks and Recreation Departments, municipal Public Works operations, Civic Centers, and city-wide event portfolios. Service deliverables consistently include delivery, placement, weekly or twice-weekly cleaning cycles, hand sanitizer restocking, deodorizing, emergency 24-hour response with specified mobilization times (often 4–6 hours), and removal on completion. Contract terms typically run one to three years with optional renewal periods; pricing is structured on unit-price or monthly-rental bases with all-inclusive delivery and labor. Issuing bodies across recent opportunities include counties (Marion County Oregon, Clackamas County Oregon, Hillsborough County Florida, Brazoria County Texas, Denton County Texas), cities (Columbus Georgia, New Haven Connecticut, Salem Oregon, Daytona Beach Florida, Lewisville Texas, Green Bay Wisconsin), water districts (Eastern Municipal Water District California), universities (Tarleton State University Texas, University of Texas at Austin, Texas A&M University System), state agencies (Illinois Department of Corrections, Texas General Land Office Division of Emergency Management), and special authorities (Georgia World Congress Center Authority).

Geographic activity spans multiple regions with recent solicitation concentration in the Southeast (Georgia, Florida, Connecticut), Southwest and South Central (Texas, California), and Pacific Northwest (Oregon, Washington). Tarleton State University, University of Texas at Austin, the City of New Haven, and Salem Parks and Recreation Department issued representative opportunities spanning educational, municipal events, and parks operations. Standard qualification requirements across solicitations include active portable-toilet-industry experience (typically five years minimum), current state health department permits where required, $500,000 to $2,000,000 general liability insurance, workers' compensation coverage, and vehicle liability limits. Several jurisdictions—including New Haven (25% MBE/WBE participation goal with mandatory utilization forms), City of Lewisville (Texas reciprocal contracting preference), and Salem (Oregon non-resident bidder reciprocal preference adjustment)—incorporate set-aside or preference language. The Illinois Department of Corrections procurement (Centralia Correctional Center, RFP due April 2, 2026, $1 million liability requirement, small-business set-aside) and Clackamas County (three-year on-call, maximum $150,000 not-to-exceed value) exemplify procurement diversity by funding constraint and organizational mission. Pricing transparency varies; the Hillsborough County contract disclosed $246,994.50 estimated value; Clackamas County set a $150,000 cap; most solicitations withhold budget ranges. Code activity is sustained and geographically dispersed, with municipal parks and recreation departments, county emergency management operations, and educational institutions representing the dominant issuing-body mix. Seasonal demand is pronounced (late spring through early fall), but year-round procurement occurs for permanent installations and emergency preparedness.
