NIGP 04518: Cleaners and Sweepers, Hand-Operated

NIGP 04518 Cleaners and Sweepers, Hand-Operated is an Item code under which state and local governments procure consumable hand-operated cleaning and sweeping tools for ongoing fleet, facilities, and operational use. Recent solicitations show demand concentrated in janitorial supplies for large public facilities, street sweeper brooms for municipal fleets, and cleaning implements distributed through cooperative purchasing agreements. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners, Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative (Texas), Marion County School Board (Florida), the City of Tucson, and Hillsborough County Public Schools appear as repeat buyers. Counties, municipal governments, school districts, and special-purpose purchasing cooperatives dominate the issuing-body mix, with most procurements structured as term contracts on an as-needed basis with firm, FOB-destination pricing and no minimum purchase guarantees.
