NIGP 20142: Gloves: Latex, Plastic, PVC, Poly, Synthetic, Vinyl, etc. (All Types)

NIGP 20142 Gloves: Latex, Plastic, PVC, Poly, Synthetic, Vinyl, Etc. (All Types), Item code, addresses state and local procurement of disposable protective gloves across multiple application domains — exam and medical-grade nitrile, latex, and vinyl; work gloves in leather and synthetic materials; and foodservice gloves — with recent activity spanning counties, school districts, utilities, and corrections facilities across Texas, Florida, Georgia, Ohio, Utah, and California through July 2026. State and local buyers under this code procure gloves primarily for operational and employee personal protective equipment needs across fire rescue, water utilities, corrections, custodial, foodservice, and healthcare delivery functions. The issuing-body mix reflects broad-based purchasing: counties (Williamson in Texas, Hillsborough in Florida, Marion in Florida) dominate by volume and contract value; independent school districts (Granite in Utah, Atlanta Public Schools in Georgia, Northside ISD in Texas, Fayette County Schools in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri) and special-purpose districts (Long Beach Public Utilities in California) are repeat bidders; and corrections and emergency services agencies (Ohio Sheriff's Corrections Center, Hillsborough County Fire Rescue) procure in high volumes with multi-year terms. Granite School District has placed two recent opportunities on the market for foodservice nitrile gloves, and Hillsborough County has solicited gloves through its Water Resources Department and Fire Rescue function within the past six months.

Recent representative solicitations illustrate the code's scope and buying patterns. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issued ITB 26-00171 on March 2, 2026 (due March 23, 2026) for six categories of gloves — leather Mechanix work gloves, HyFlex oily grip and cut-protection gloves, AlphaTec chemical-resistance gloves, and MicroFlex disposable medical-grade neoprene and nitrile — under a two-year blanket purchase agreement with an estimated value of $213,855.20. Granite School District posted IFB JB27-300 on July 8, 2026 (due July 17, 2026) for foodservice nitrile gloves funded with federal child-nutrition dollars, with firm pricing for one year and four one-year renewal options, delivery to West Valley City, and compliance with Buy American Act and Davis-Bacon Act requirements. Long Beach Public Utilities Department issued RFQ UD26343 on June 30, 2026 (due July 22, 2026) for six glove categories spanning 38 line items — latex exam, nitrile exam in multiple brands and specifications, cow grain leather, dotted knit, PIP coated, and foam nitrile palm-coated work gloves — under a two-year firm-pricing contract with a local ten-percent preference for Long Beach-based vendors. Ohio Sheriff's Corrections Center solicited nitrile gloves under informal RFB 7034 and 7107 in June and late June 2026 (due June 26 and July 1, 2026 respectively) for a three-year term beginning January 1, 2027, requiring 5,040 cases annually of Sunline or equivalent nitrile gloves in three sizes with quarterly shipments. Williamson County, Texas issued IFB 26IFB63 on July 15, 2026 (due August 4, 2026) for EMS medical and pharmaceutical items including gloves, with sealed-bid response at the Purchasing Office in Georgetown and bid-bond and performance-bond requirements for contracts exceeding $50,000 to $100,000.
