NIGP 18008: Alcohols

NIGP 18008 Alcohols, an Item code, covers ethanol, methanol, isopropanol, and other industrial and laboratory alcohols that state and local governments procure for maintenance, sanitation, laboratory use, and equipment operation. State and local issuing bodies — primarily state departments, county facilities management offices, and municipal public works departments — source alcohols as inputs to cleaning programs, disinfection protocols, and specialized operational processes rather than as finished goods for end-user consumption. The code captures bulk purchases of denatured and undenatured alcohol in various concentrations and container sizes, with procurement typically driven by recurring operational need rather than project-specific demand.

The source provides no recent state and local solicitations under NIGP 18008 Alcohols. Without posted RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB opportunities in the most-recent-opportunities block, current market activity and issuing-body concentration cannot be assessed from the available record.
