NIGP 16514: Cleaner/Sanitizer

NIGP 16514 Cleaner/Sanitizer, an Item code, covers the supply of cleaning compounds, sanitizing agents, and related consumable supplies that state and local governments procure for facility operations, food service sanitation, and emergency-services maintenance. Recent solicitations show school districts, county governments, and regional purchasing cooperatives buying concentrated detergents, germicidal cleaners, quaternary sanitizers, hand soaps, protective creams, and accessory items such as gloves, scouring pads, and test kits — typically under as-needed or annual supply agreements. The work encompasses both bare-product supply and bundled service arrangements that integrate vendor-delivered products with training, inventory management, and rotating on-site support. Issuing bodies include independent school districts, county boards of commissioners, county fire-rescue departments, and regional purchasing cooperatives administering multi-entity cooperative agreements.

Activity spans Texas, Mississippi, and Florida, with recent opportunities reflecting the geographic spread of school-district and county-government procurement. In July 2026, Lamar County School District (Mississippi) issued an RFQ for a comprehensive food safety and sanitation system covering 11 school sites with a response date of July 21, 2026; the contract required ServSafe-certified vendor personnel to deliver training, HACCP documentation, environmentally preferred detergents, and monthly rotating site visits. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) posted an ITB on July 7, 2026 for consumable janitorial and operational supplies for 47 fire stations, estimated at $765,679.84 for one year with a response date of July 24, 2026, requiring 10-day standard delivery to Tampa. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative (Texas) issued a catalog-discount RFP in June 2026 for custodial supplies under a two-year cooperative purchasing agreement with an estimated total value of $12,638,478.00 and a response date of May 26, 2026, allowing member organizations across the region to order from established vendor catalogs at negotiated discounts.
