NIGP 09592 Strops and Hones, Razor is an Item code under which state and local governments procure grooming and cosmetology tools and supplies for vocational instruction and personal-care training programs. The code encompasses individual grooming instruments—including strops, hones, razors, and related sharpening and finishing equipment—that are core to barbering and cosmetology curriculum in school districts and other public institutions. Issuing bodies under this code include independent school districts operating vocational or cosmetology programs, with procurement structured as catalog-discount agreements to enable flexible vendor selection and volume-based pricing negotiation across multiple suppliers.

Donna Independent School District in Cameron County, Texas, issued RFP 011326-894 in March 2026 seeking cosmetology equipment and supplies under a catalog-discount procurement method with a response date of April 8, 2026. The solicitation covers strops, hones, razors, and a broad range of complementary grooming and cosmetology tools (brushes, combs, shear kits, clippers, hair scissors, curling irons, and practice implements) for classroom instruction during the 2026-2027 school year, with contract terms extendable for two additional one-year periods. The district intends to award to multiple vendors to maximize pricing flexibility and service options, with evaluation based on selection, service, and price, and all pricing required to include shipping and handling on an F.O.B. Destination basis with no minimum purchase guarantee.
