NIGP 19218: Cleaners, Miscellaneous, Not Otherwise Listed

NIGP 19218 Cleaners, Miscellaneous, Not Otherwise Listed is an Item code under which state and local governments procure specialized cleaning products, degreasing agents, and related janitorial supplies that do not fit into broader cleaning categories. Recent solicitations show purchasing of hand-cleaner degreaser wipes, consumable janitorial and operational supplies for fire rescue departments, facility maintenance chemicals and parts, school nutrition program cleaning chemicals, and branded cleaning chemical systems with dispensing equipment. Issuing bodies span city governments, county public safety departments, county facilities management, school districts, and county schools systems. School districts appear as frequent buyers, with multiple recent RFPs and IFBs seeking both generic and branded cleaning chemistry (notably Spartan-brand products). County governments procure for operational facilities, fire rescue operations, and project management departments. Response requirements vary from simple unit purchases to complex multi-line-item competitive sealed bids with detailed vendor qualification standards, insurance minimums, and good-faith subcontracting goals.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Florida, with secondary activity in California and Texas.
