NIGP 04577: Vacuum Cleaners, Manual (Including Parts and Accessories)

NIGP 04577 Vacuum Cleaners, Manual (Including Parts And Accessories), an Item code, covers manual vacuum equipment and related components that state and local governments procure primarily through cooperative purchasing catalogs serving multiple member organizations. Recent solicitations show this code embedded within broader custodial supplies contracts where vacuum cleaners, parts, and accessories are sourced alongside mops, brooms, and other facility maintenance items rather than as standalone equipment buys. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include purchasing cooperatives serving regional school districts, county governments, and municipal departments that manage custodial operations across multiple facilities. The Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas issued a Catalog Discount Bid for Custodial Supplies (CUS2628) with an estimated total expenditure of $12,638,478.00 over two years, seeking vendors to supply comprehensive product catalogs with established discount pricing; this structure allows member organizations throughout the region to order custodial items including vacuum equipment on an as-needed basis rather than through individual equipment procurements.

The code shows limited recent standalone solicitation activity; most demand emerges through cooperative purchasing agreements rather than direct RFP or IFB notices from individual municipalities. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas represents the primary documented recent activity, with the RFP due May 26, 2026, and board approval of awards scheduled for June 18, 2026, establishing a two-year contract term through June 18, 2028. The cooperative structure allows the award to serve multiple member organizations across the Region 7 jurisdiction, creating substantial volume opportunity for vendors capable of maintaining online ordering integration through the cooperative's purchasing platform at https://purchasing.esc7.net. No set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise restrictions are documented in the available materials for this code's recent opportunities.
