NIGP 14518: Chimney Brushes

NIGP 14518 Chimney Brushes is an Item code for cleaning brushes and related hand tools that state and local governments procure as part of broader janitorial and facilities maintenance supply catalogs. The scope of work under this code centers on brush products used in routine building maintenance — notably chimney brushes but also similar cleaning tools — that are typically bundled into standing supply agreements rather than purchased as standalone items. School districts and county facilities departments are the primary buying bodies under this code, acquiring these supplies on an as-needed basis throughout the fiscal or school year through multi-vendor catalog bid structures that establish discounted pricing off published price lists.

A single recent opportunity supports current activity: Donna Independent School District in Cameron County, Texas issued RFP 011326888 on March 21, 2026, requesting a catalog bid for janitorial supplies for the 2026–2027 school year with a response deadline of April 8, 2026. The solicitation sought discount proposals from vendors covering a comprehensive range of supplies including brushes, brooms, dusters, mops, dustpans, and miscellaneous cleaning items, with the district intending to award multiple vendors to create flexibility in purchasing. The contract term runs September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2027, with options to extend for up to two additional one-year periods. No minimum purchase guarantees were offered, and pricing was quoted as a percentage discount from catalog or shelf price with all shipping and handling included. Beyond this example, the available record shows limited recent activity under this code; a notice from Williamson County Purchasing Department in Texas (posted July 14, 2026) was a facility relocation announcement with no procurement scope.
