NIGP 98924: Chemical Sampling and Preparation Services

NIGP 98924 Chemical Sampling and Preparation Services, an Item code, encompasses acute and chronic toxicity testing, Phase I and Phase II/III environmental site assessments, asbestos and lead-based paint analysis, PFAS detection and characterization, materials field testing, and related analytical services that state and local governments procure to support environmental compliance, wastewater treatment operations, and infrastructure management. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include city utilities and environmental departments (Orlando, Bradenton), county environmental and purchasing divisions (Hillsborough County, Gwinnett County, Boulder County), and state university health science centers (Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center). Most recent activity shows public entities establishing continuing-services contracts and standing annual agreements to support ongoing environmental testing needs through task orders and purchase orders issued as-needed throughout the year.

Recent representative solicitations illustrate the code's scope: the City of Bradenton issued an RFQ in July 2026 to establish a Professional Services Library for environmental testing engineering services including Phase I and II/III environmental site assessments, remediation planning, brownfield investigations, tank management, asbestos testing and abatement design, and indoor air quality assessments (response date April 2, 2026); Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners posted a competitive sealed ITB in July 2026 for acute and chronic toxicity testing services for treated wastewater discharge compliance with an estimated three-year contract value of $460,350.00 (bids due July 31, 2026); Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners solicited sealed bids in July 2026 for comprehensive materials and field testing services including concrete, asphalt, soil testing, non-destructive structural evaluation, asbestos and lead-based paint testing, and soil boring on an annual contract basis with four renewal options (bids due August 3, 2026); and Boulder County Parks and Open Space issued a Request for Information in May 2026 to evaluate PFAS and PFOS content in noxious weed herbicides, seeking analytical methodologies and cost estimates for potential future testing (response date May 15, 2026). Activity concentrates in Florida and Georgia, with scattered Colorado procurement supporting emerging regulatory compliance work.
