NIGP 99075: Rescue and Search Team Services

NIGP 99075 Rescue and Search Team Services, an Item code, encompasses law enforcement support for temporary traffic control in hazardous work environments and specialized equipment procurement and maintenance for rescue operations. State and local governments soliciting under this code include county sheriff offices and county departments of water management, reflecting the operational breadth spanning traffic control, harbor patrol, and hazardous device response. The work involves both personnel services — law enforcement officers positioned to protect construction and utility crews on active roadways — and equipment supply and maintenance, including diving gear, regulators, buoyancy compensators, communication systems, protective equipment, and related accessories that support rescue and recovery operations in water and hazardous environments.

Two representative recent opportunities illustrate the activity. DeKalb County, Georgia, posted ITB 2026-044 on June 2, 2026, soliciting law enforcement personnel for temporary traffic control to establish safe work environments for Department of Water and Management crews performing operations, construction, maintenance, and meter installations on public roadways, with bids due June 29, 2026.
