NIGP 18008: Alcohols

NIGP 18008 Alcohols, an Item code, covers ethanol, isopropyl alcohol, methanol, and other industrial and laboratory alcohols that state and local governments procure for cleaning, disinfection, laboratory analysis, and maintenance operations. State and local purchasing offices, county facilities departments, cities, school districts, and special-purpose districts source these commodities through both spot purchases and standing supply agreements. The code captures routine procurement of shelf-stable chemical commodities rather than specialized or reagent-grade alcohols; recent activity reflects demand driven by facility maintenance, custodial operations, and basic lab support across general-purpose government agencies.

The source provided contains no recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code and does not support characterization of issuing-body concentration, geographic distribution, or representative solicitations. Without posted RFPs, RFQs, IBFs, or ITBs in the activity record, activity level and current market engagement under this code cannot be determined from the available data.
