NIGP 98924: Chemical Sampling and Preparation Services

NIGP 98924 Chemical Sampling and Preparation Services, an Item code, encompasses field and laboratory analysis of construction materials, environmental samples, and specialized chemistry testing that state and local governments procure through continuing services contracts, task-order agreements, and annual supply arrangements. State and local buyers under this code solicit concrete, asphalt, and soil testing; environmental site assessments and remediation support; water quality and wastewater analysis; hazardous materials evaluation including asbestos and lead-based paint; PFAS detection in pesticides and other products; and laboratory testing samples for routine and specialized chemistry applications. Issuing bodies include county governments (Gwinnett County, Boulder County, Pasco County), cities (Bradenton, Orlando), state environmental commissions (Texas Commission on Environmental Quality), and higher-education institutions (Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, University of Wisconsin-Madison). Recent work is assigned through task orders, annual contracts with renewal options, and supply agreements that allow flexibility in scope and scale based on operational demand.

Geographic activity spans Georgia, Colorado, Florida, Texas, and Wisconsin. Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' sealed-bid RFQ for comprehensive materials and field testing services (response due August 3, 2026) across concrete, asphalt, soil, masonry, environmental, and structural evaluation; Texas Commission on Environmental Quality's statewide laboratory analysis RFP for wastewater, drinking water, and hazardous waste matrices across multiple turnaround times (responses due March 23, 2026), estimated at $1.12 million over five years with up to five vendors awarded; Pasco County's as-needed environmental services RFP for biological assessments, water quality studies, wetlands delineation, and stream restoration support (responses due April 14, 2026) structured as task-order assignments over three years; and City of Bradenton's continuing-services RFQ for Phase I and II environmental assessments, underground storage tank management, asbestos and mold testing, and lead-based paint evaluation. Vendors typically must hold state professional engineering licensure, environmental certifications, or laboratory accreditation; carry specified insurance; and meet VetHUB, HUB Subcontracting Plan, or DBE requirements where federal funding is involved.
