NIGP 36510: Brushes and Pads, Floor Machine Type

NIGP 36510 Brushes And Pads, Floor Machine Type, an Item code, covers floor-care consumables that state and local governments procure for routine facility maintenance — specifically diamond polishing pads, scrubbing pads, and related floor machine attachments used in schools, municipal buildings, and county facilities. Recent solicitations show purchasing bodies acquiring specialized polishing and stripping pads in standard sizes (14-inch and 27-inch models with specific grit ratings and color specifications), along with broader custodial equipment bundles that include floor machines and compatible pad accessories. The issuing bodies span school districts, city procurement offices, and state agencies. Hillsborough County Public Schools and Anaheim Union High School District appear as repeat buyers of custodial supplies in the recent opportunity set, reflecting the concentration of floor-care purchasing within K–12 education procurement.

Activity is concentrated in Texas, California, and Florida based on recent postings. The City of Houston posted an RFQ for green 3-in-1 diamond polishing pads (14 inch, 3000# rating, case of 4) with a response deadline of September 23, 2026 (Solicitation INF20260396).

Responses in this code typically come from equipment distributors, janitorial-supply vendors, and floor-care manufacturers who meet manufacturer specifications or propose certified equivalents.
