NIGP 18020: Bacteriostats and Germicides (Except Quaternary Ammonium Type)

NIGP 18020 Bacteriostats And Germicides (Except Quaternary Ammonium Type), an Item code, covers disinfectants and antimicrobial agents that state and local governments procure for facility sanitation, equipment sterilization, and public health operations. Recent solicitation activity shows that this code sits within broader law enforcement and facility-management purchasing frameworks, where germicides and bacteriostats are bundled as components of equipment procurement rather than as standalone commodity buys. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county governments, municipal agencies, and special-purpose cooperative purchasing entities that aggregate demand across multiple jurisdictions.
