NIGP 19283: Steam Cleaning Compounds

NIGP 19283 Steam Cleaning Compounds, an Item code, encompasses cleaning chemicals for food service and facility maintenance operations in state and local jurisdictions. Government bodies procure general-purpose cleaning compounds and specialized formulations for cafeteria equipment, food preparation surfaces, and pressure-washing applications across municipal and district infrastructure. The issuing bodies span school districts and municipal public works departments, each managing recurring demand for chemical supplies to support nutrition programs, grounds maintenance, and facility sanitation. Recent solicitations show both spot-buy and term-contract structures, with school districts typically procuring on an annual or multi-year basis and cities bundling chemical costs within larger pressure-washing or facility-maintenance contracts.

Activity appears concentrated in the Southeast, with recent opportunities from Fulton County Schools in Georgia and the City of Pembroke Pines in Florida. Fulton County Schools issued an IFB (Solicitation PE55101NONST2026000000181) on April 28, 2026, requesting cleaning chemicals for the School Nutrition Program with a May 28, 2026 response deadline through the Euna Procurement platform; award is to be determined on lowest responsive and responsible bid with no set-aside designations named. The City of Pembroke Pines posted IFB PSPW-26-04 on April 7, 2026, for citywide pressure washing services with an estimated $700,000 project cost and May 5, 2026 response deadline; the contract includes chemical supply as an embedded component requiring contractors to furnish all materials, with Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements, HUD Section 3 workforce compliance (25 percent Section 3 workers, 5 percent Targeted Section 3), and local vendor preferences (5 percent for Pembroke Pines local vendors, 2.5 percent for Broward County and veteran-owned small businesses). The Pembroke Pines opportunity runs two years with two optional two-year renewals and mandates EPA Lead-Safe Certification and equipment specifications (minimum 1,000-gallon water tank, 10 GPM at 3,000 PSI).
