NIGP 20139: Gloves, Cloth Type (All Types)

NIGP 20139 Gloves, Cloth Type (All Types) is an Item code under which state and local governments procure protective and work gloves across multiple material compositions and end uses — including latex and nitrile exam gloves, leather work gloves, jersey cotton gloves, coated and cut-resistant styles, and medical-grade disposables. Water departments, transit authorities, school districts, and universities are the primary soliciting bodies, seeking multi-year supply agreements with firm fixed pricing, fast delivery windows, and compliance with equipment specifications or quality standards. The Long Beach Public Utilities Department's RFQ UD26343 (due July 22, 2026) exemplifies the commodity scope: 38 line items spanning latex exam gloves, nitrile exam gloves in multiple brands, cow grain leather gloves, dotted knit gloves, PIP coated gloves, and work gloves with foam nitrile palm coating across sizes Small through XX-Large, with a two-year contract term and five-business-day delivery requirement to warehouse locations. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issued a competitive sealed bid (ITB-26-00171, due March 23, 2026) for six categories of brand-specific gloves under a two-year blanket purchase agreement with an estimated budget of $213,855.20, delivery within 30 days to four specified county locations, and annual CPI-U escalation provisions.
