NIGP 20141: Gloves, Neoprene and Rubber (All Types)

NIGP 20141, Gloves, Neoprene and Rubber (All Types), is an Item code under which state and local governments procure disposable and durable protective gloves—nitrile, neoprene, and leather varieties—for operational and janitorial use across county departments, school districts, transit authorities, and public safety agencies. Recent solicitations show demand for bulk-packaged nitrile gloves (typically 8 mil thickness, boxes of 100), branded leather work gloves (Mechanix), and medical-grade disposable gloves (MicroFlex) in multiple sizes. Issuing bodies include county commissioners' offices (notably Hillsborough County, Florida), independent school districts (Atlanta Public Schools, Northside ISD in San Antonio, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Marion County Schools in Florida), transit authorities (Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority), and higher-education procurement arms (Texas A&M University). The code sees sustained activity across protective-equipment contracts for fire rescue operations, custodial and janitorial supply agreements, school nutrition and food service operations, and healthcare/first-aid supply pools.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida (Hillsborough County multiple solicitations, Marion County Schools), Texas (Dallas DART multiple rapid procurements, Northside ISD, Texas A&M), Georgia (Georgia Public Safety Training Center), and Missouri (Rockwood School District), with school districts and county public-safety departments representing the most active buyer segments. Representative recent opportunities include Hillsborough County Board of Commissioners issuing ITB2600319 for janitorial and operational supplies (including gloves) for Fire Rescue Department operations across 47 fire stations, estimated $765,679.84 for one year, bids due July 24, 2026; Atlanta Public Schools soliciting bids for trash liners and gloves (due July 10, 2026); Northside ISD posting RFP2026071 for custodial supplies (due June 4, 2026); and Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority issuing multiple rapid ITBs for specific nitrile-glove sizes and quantities in April 2026 with two- to three-day response windows. Hillsborough County Water Resources also posted ITB2600171 for six categories of branded protective gloves (leather work, chemical-resistant, cut-protection, and disposable medical/nitrile variants), estimated $213,855.20 over two years, due March 23, 2026, with delivery within 30 days and potential sharing under county governmental purchasing council arrangements.
