NIGP 04548: Ironing Tables (Ironing Boards)

NIGP 04548 Ironing Tables (Ironing Boards) is an Item code that frames work state and local governments actually buy through custodial-supply cooperative purchasing vehicles. The code encompasses ironing equipment and boards procured as line items within broader custodial-supply catalogs rather than as standalone capital equipment; recent solicitations show ironing tables bundled into master catalogs of janitorial and cleaning products offered through cooperative purchasing agreements to member organizations. Issuing bodies under this code include regional purchasing cooperatives serving multiple jurisdictions, state and local government units administering cooperative purchasing vehicles, and the member entities that draw from established custodial-supply contracts. The Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas administers cooperative purchasing on behalf of its member organizations, a model that dominates the code's recent activity; similar cooperative structures at the state level (such as Sourcewell in Minnesota) also solicit custodial and equipment categories that may include ironing tables, though the most direct and concrete recent example is catalog-bid activity.

Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Kilgore, Texas, posted an Invitation for Catalog Discount Bid (CUS2628) on June 22, 2026, seeking qualified vendors to supply a comprehensive custodial-supplies catalog with established discount pricing for member organizations; the response deadline was May 26, 2026 at 1:30 p.m., with a two-year contract term running June 18, 2026, through June 18, 2028, and estimated total expenditures of $12,638,478. The RFP evaluates vendors on discount depth, compliance with terms, net payment terms, free-shipping availability, purchase-order acceptance policies, and scope exclusions. Submission requires electronic access through the Region 7 online bidding platform; vendors without digital access may request paper packets. This cooperative structure allows a single vendor award to serve multiple member jurisdictions across the region, concentrating recent state and local activity in Texas and adjacent cooperative-purchasing regions. No other recent standalone or category-specific ironing-table solicitations appear in the available records; procurement under the code flows primarily through these broad custodial-supply cooperative RFPs rather than through dedicated equipment requests.
