NIGP 00570: Pumice Stone

NIGP 00570 Pumice Stone is an Item code under the abrasive materials and cleaning supplies taxonomy. State and local governments procure pumice stone as an abrasive agent for facility cleaning, equipment maintenance, and industrial applications. The code encompasses natural pumice products used in janitorial operations, maintenance shops, and custodial programs across county, municipal, and special-purpose facilities. Purchasing patterns reflect routine consumable buying rather than capital or specialized procurement — issuing bodies typically consolidate pumice stone purchases with broader janitorial or facilities-maintenance contracts, or acquire it through cooperative purchasing agreements with state or regional vendors.

Recent state and local solicitation activity under this code is sparse. A single recent opportunity appears in the source: Cobb County, Georgia posted RFP PE77050NONST2026000000091 on June 12, 2026 for pest control services across county government facilities, with a response deadline of July 9, 2026, but no scope detail or contract value is disclosed. This opportunity does not explicitly reference pumice stone procurement; the connection to the code tier is indirect and does not establish current demand signals. Geographic and issuing-body characterization cannot be reliably drawn from a single tangential record. Firms evaluating this code should monitor state and county facilities maintenance and janitorial supply RFQs and ITBs for explicit pumice stone line-item or consumable-supply solicitations, which are more likely to surface active procurement than pest-control or general maintenance contracts.
