NIGP 085: Bags, Bagging, Ties, and Erosion Sheeting, etc.

NIGP 085 Bags, Bagging, Ties, and Erosion Sheeting, Etc., is a Class code covering polyethylene bags, waste containment supplies, erosion control materials, and related products that state and local governments source for facilities maintenance, environmental compliance, and operational support. Recent solicitations show purchasing bodies acquiring trash and recycling bags in bulk volumes, lead-safety containment kits and equipment, biohazard disposal bags and decontamination supplies, custodial liners and refuse receptacles, and landscaping erosion control products including geosynthetics and sediment controls. Issuing bodies under this code span county sheriff's offices, city public works and facilities departments, school districts, parks and open space authorities, and utility agencies. The City of Richardson, San Mateo County Sheriff's Office, the City of Tucson, and the City of West Sacramento appear as repeat or recent buyers; school districts including Fontana Unified in California and Meriden Public Schools in Connecticut source custodial supplies under similar classifications. Geographic activity clusters in California (Fontana, Milpitas, West Sacramento), Florida (St. Petersburg, Palm Bay), Texas (Richardson), and Colorado (Boulder County), with additional recent postings from Kentucky and Connecticut.
