NIGP 26911: Antiseptics

NIGP 26911 Antiseptics, an Item code, covers cleaning and disinfection agents that state and local governments procure for public facilities, water treatment, and operational maintenance. Recent solicitations show demand for both specialized chemical supplies—such as chlorine gas cylinders for pool operations—and broad-spectrum janitorial and disinfection products for fire stations, parks, and multi-facility county operations. The issuing-body mix includes municipal departments (parks and recreation), county governments, and public safety agencies (fire rescue), each managing high-volume or specialized chemical procurement on open-end supply contracts rather than one-time buys.

The code sees recent activity in Florida (Hillsborough County, City of Pittsburgh area) and likely spans procurement across state and local water-treatment, facilities-maintenance, and public-health operations nationally. The City of Pittsburgh Department of Parks and Recreation posted IFB 2026-IFB-098 on July 16, 2026, requesting 150-pound chlorine gas cylinders (99.9% pure, AWWA B301 specification) for pool operations, with bids due August 14, 2026 and a contract value anticipated at approximately 75 cylinders per season scaling to 250 during May–September, under a two-year term with two optional one-year renewals; bidders must meet DBE goals (18% minority-owned, 7% women-owned, 5% veteran-owned, 3% LGBTQIA+) and provide 100% performance and payment bonds plus $1–$5 million liability coverage. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issued ITB-26-00319 on July 7, 2026 for consumable janitorial and operational supplies for 47 fire stations, bids due July 24, 2026, at an estimated one-year contract value of $765,679.84 with no guaranteed minimums and no renewal options. Both solicitations require FOB Destination pricing and authorize the issuing body to award by line item or total net bid.
