NIGP 28718: Chemicals for Electronics Use: Antistatic, Cleaning, Degreasing, Etching, Metal Stripping, Solvent, etc.

NIGP 28718 Chemicals For Electronics Use: Antistatic, Cleaning, Degreasing, Etching, Metal Stripping, Solvent, Etc. is an Item code under which state and local governments procure specialized chemical products and equipment modules for water utilities, custodial operations, and facilities maintenance. Recent solicitations show substantial demand for cleaning and treatment equipment rather than bulk chemical supplies—the City of Dallas procured automatic cleaning modules for water filtration, Riverside County sought drive modules for water treatment plant operations, and multiple jurisdictions across Texas pursued custodial supplies through cooperative purchasing agreements. Issuing bodies include county governments (Riverside County, Gwinnett County), municipalities (City of Dallas), regional purchasing cooperatives (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas), and statewide service cooperatives (Sourcewell representing participating jurisdictions across multiple states and Canada). Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative appears as a repeat buyer, administering multiple custodial supplies catalog discount bids covering estimated expenditures ranging from $5.2 million to $12.6 million across consecutive procurement cycles.

Activity concentrates in Texas and California, with secondary presence in Georgia and multi-state reach through Sourcewell's cooperative procurement model. Representative recent opportunities include Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's Catalog Discount Bid for Custodial Supplies (CUS2628), an RFP posted June 22, 2026, with a response deadline of May 26, 2026, and estimated two-year expenditures of $12,638,478; the City of Dallas informal solicitation (IFSDWUB2300029) for five automatic cleaning modules, IFS closed April 3, 2026, with HD SUPPLY INC. d/b/a USABLUEBOOK awarded at $5,634 total; Riverside County's Request for Bid 3918 for an ABB ACS880-04 AC Drive Module for the Perris Water Filtration Plant, RFB posted March 3, 2026, due March 25, 2026; and Gwinnett County's custodial supplies procurement (B-2613LM), posted February 9, 2026, due February 24, 2026. Cooperative purchasing structures dominate the Texas market, allowing single awards to serve dozens of member entities and yielding substantial contract values.
