NIGP 20140: Gloves, Cowhide/Leather (All Types)

NIGP 20140 Gloves, Cowhide/Leather (All Types) is an Item code under which state and local governments procure exam gloves (latex and nitrile), leather work gloves, coated gloves, and related hand protection on as-needed, multi-year contract bases. Recent solicitations show a mix of operational-use purchasing (municipal utilities and school districts buying exam gloves, work gloves, and general-purpose hand protection for staff and students) and a narrower stream of apparel-bundled accessory purchasing. Long Beach Public Utilities Department appears as a repeat buyer, issuing RFQs for six-category glove assortments totaling 38 line items with unit pricing held firm across two-year terms. School districts and municipal school systems dominate the recent-opportunity sample, with Atlanta Public Schools posting multiple IFB notices for trash liners bundled with gloves and Temple Independent School District embedding gloves and related hand protection within a broader apparel and accessories RFP that includes custom screen printing and embroidery services.

Activity concentrates in California and Georgia. Long Beach Public Utilities Department posted RFQ UD26343 (due July 22, 2026) and follow-on RFQ UD27365 (due November 10, 2026), both soliciting latex exam gloves, nitrile exam gloves in multiple brands and sizes, cow grain leather gloves, dotted knit gloves, PIP coated gloves, and work gloves with foam nitrile palm coating with five-business-day delivery to warehouse locations and a 10 percent local-vendor preference applied to evaluation (capped at $50,000 per bidder). Atlanta Public Schools posted three separate IFB notices for trash liners and gloves between June 25 and July 25, 2026, all due within two weeks of posting. Temple Independent School District issued RFP00627 (due October 6, 2026) for a multi-vendor apparel and accessories contract inclusive of gloves, custom screen printing, and embroidery to serve 15 campuses and approximately 8,700 students, with no minimum purchase guarantee and award discretion across single vendor, multiple vendors, or line-item basis.
