NIGP 08545: Bags: Nylon, Polyester, Polypropylene

NIGP 08545 Bags: Nylon, Polyester, Polypropylene is an Item code describing bags made from synthetic materials that state and local governments procure for operational and maintenance uses. Recent solicitations show purchasing activity centered on nylon and polyester bags for specific applications: the City of Philadelphia procured Condura nylon bags (contract value not to exceed $45,000, 365-day term) and sought bedbug heaters in micro purchases; Hillsborough County solicited UMA 250 woven polyester bags sized for a dust collector at a lime house facility; and the City of Dallas requested bulk bags for delivery to a water treatment plant. Issuing bodies under this code include city procurement departments (Philadelphia, Dallas, Richardson) and county governments (Hillsborough County), each managing commodity purchases through standard RFP and micro-purchase processes with lowest-responsive-and-responsible-bidder awards. Insurance, nondiscrimination compliance, and Local Business Entity (LBE) or disadvantaged-enterprise certification tracking appear in Philadelphia's procurement terms; Texas cities use electronic portal submission (Bonfire, PHLContracts).

Recent procurement activity concentrates in Texas and Pennsylvania. The City of Philadelphia posted two nylon-bag solicitations in July and August 2026 (response dates July 30 and August 26, respectively); the City of Dallas solicited bulk bags for a water facility in early July 2026 with a July 13 response date; Hillsborough County (Florida) posted a polyester-bag RFP for a dust-collector application in July 2026 with a July 10 response date; and the City of Richardson (Texas) issued an annual requirements contract for embroidered items in May 2026. These opportunities reflect ad-hoc commodity procurement and recurring maintenance needs rather than large-scale contracts, with FOB delivery and firm pricing requirements standard across jurisdictions.
