NIGP 97537: Garbage/Refuse Equipment (Dumpsters, etc.) Rental or Lease

NIGP 97537 Garbage/Refuse Equipment (Dumpsters, Etc.) Rental or Lease, an Item code, encompasses the rental and leasing of waste collection containers and compactors ranging from small dumpsters to specialized roll-off bins and stationary compactors. State and local governments procure these assets to support solid waste collection operations at facilities, municipal properties, correctional institutions, and commercial service areas. Issuing bodies span state departments (Texas General Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Military Department, Texas Workforce Commission, State of Georgia Department of Administrative Services, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts), county governments (Forsyth County Georgia, Marion County Florida, Pinal County Arizona), cities (Benson Arizona, Leesburg Florida, Oviedo Florida, Fort Worth Texas, Tucson Arizona, Atlanta Georgia, Charlotte North Carolina, Richardson Texas), and educational institutions (University of West Georgia). Multiple jurisdictions appear repeatedly in recent solicitations, particularly Forsyth County Georgia (three separate ITB notices for solid waste collection services in 2026) and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (at least six trash service solicitations across correctional facilities from May through August 2026). Texas dominates recent procurement activity, with additional concentration in Georgia and scattered activity across Florida, Arizona, and North Carolina.

Representative recent opportunities illustrate the breadth of this code. The Texas General Services Commission solicited dumpster rental services across Region I (RFP, due November 3, 2026) requiring vendors to demonstrate equipment maintenance capability, timely pickup and delivery, and adequate insurance with site visits available to assess service needs. Forsyth County Georgia issued ITB 27-26-1620 for solid waste collection services at county facilities (due November 19, 2026) via the EUNA Procurement portal with bids publicly opened in Cumming, Georgia. The Texas Military Department requested statewide garbage and trash removal services across 22 facilities (IFB, due November 9, 2026) covering bin sizes from 4 to 8 cubic yards with collection frequencies from weekly to three times weekly, requiring firm fixed-price all-inclusive monthly pricing per location and bin size, workers' compensation insurance of $1 million, commercial general liability of $1 million per occurrence/$2 million aggregate, and background checks for all personnel. The City of Benson Arizona issued RFP 2026RFP007 for residential and commercial solid waste services (due October 9, 2026) awarding exclusive weekly residential collection to a single contractor serving approximately 2,200 customers with a five-year term commencing January 1, 2027, performance bonds equal to six months of anticipated revenue, and liquidated damages assessed at 5 percent of monthly billing for the fourth KPI failure and 12 percent for the tenth. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice conducted multiple solicitations for trash compactor and roll-off container rentals at individual correctional units (responses due May through August 2026) requiring five years' minimum industry experience, TCEQ certification, commercial insurance, and pricing valid for 30 days with potential annual adjustments tied to the Consumer Producer Price Index.
