NIGP 17515: Cleaning Equipment and Supplies, Laboratory

NIGP 17515 Cleaning Equipment and Supplies, Laboratory, an Item code, encompasses specialized cleaning products, chemical dispensing systems, and hazardous material removal services that state and local governments procure for laboratory facilities, school nutrition programs, and water treatment operations. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring laboratory-grade cleaning chemicals, sanitizers, detergents, hand soaps, dispensing equipment, and comprehensive hazardous waste removal and disposal services—particularly for educational food safety programs, municipal water districts, and transportation agency lab facilities. The issuing bodies include state departments of transportation, county boards of education, municipal water districts, city governments, and county probation departments. Caltrans and the North Texas Municipal Water District appear as repeat buyers; school nutrition programs across multiple states (Georgia, Connecticut, Texas, Montgomery County) consistently solicit food safety and sanitation products and HACCP training as part of this code's scope.

Geographic activity spans California (Caltrans operations across nine counties plus San Bernardino and San Diego), Texas (North Texas Municipal Water District, Montgomery County, Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative), Georgia (Dougherty County Board of Education), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport), and Wisconsin (Milwaukee County). Representative recent opportunities include Caltrans' IFB 59A1396 for hazardous laboratory cleaning, removal, and disposal at the Southern Regional Lab in Fontana and the District 11 Division of Engineering Services Lab in San Diego (bids due September 17, 2026), requiring Class A contractor licenses, Asbestos Contractor Registration, HAZWOPER certification, and hazardous waste transporter credentials; the City of Arlington's RFP 270029 for janitorial services across 11 Parks, Recreation, and Culture facilities with weekly cleaning and emergency response (proposals due October 22, 2026); Dougherty County Board of Education's sealed bid for a Food Safety and Sanitation Program serving 24 school nutrition sites, including cleaning products, HACCP training, and on-site monitoring (bids due June 17, 2026); and Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's RFP CUS2628 for custodial supplies through a two-year catalog discount agreement with an estimated total value of $12,638,478 (proposals due May 26, 2026). Small Business and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise preferences and set-asides appear in California and cooperative purchasing solicitations; prevailing wage requirements apply to qualified Caltrans and school-district contracts.
