NIGP 14544: Miscellaneous Brushes (Not Otherwise Classified)

NIGP 14544 Miscellaneous Brushes (Not Otherwise Classified) is an Item code capturing cleaning and maintenance brushes procured by state and local jurisdictions as consumable supplies for facility and fleet operations. State and local governments buy brushes under this code as part of larger janitorial and operational supply contracts rather than as standalone line items; recent solicitations show brushes embedded within broad custodial-supply procurement efforts serving fire departments, school districts, and county facilities. Issuing bodies soliciting under the code include county governments, school districts, and county facilities management departments, with activity appearing across facilities maintenance, fire rescue operations, and educational environments where daily cleaning and upkeep demand steady brush replacement.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in Florida and California based on recent opportunities. Pinellas County School District posted an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for Custodial Supplies with a contract value near $900,000 and a response date of December 2, 2025 (now closed), which included vacuum bags, brooms, mops, and related maintenance items as line items within a broader custodial procurement. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issued ITB-26-00319 on July 7, 2026 for janitorial and operational supplies supporting 47 fire stations with an estimated contract value of $765,679.84 and a response deadline of July 24, 2026, serving the Public Safety Operations Complex in Tampa, Florida. San Bernardino County Project & Facilities Management posted Formal ITB 6391 on May 18, 2026 for parts and supplies across 500-plus line items including maintenance brushes, with a June 19, 2026 response deadline and a tentative July 1, 2026 contract start. Brushes appear as minor components within larger supply agreements rather than primary procurement vehicles, reflecting the fragmented, consumable nature of the commodity across multiple end-use departments.
