NIGP 36580: Vacuum Cleaners, (Commercial, Wet or Dry), Parts, and Accessories

NIGP 36580 Vacuum Cleaners (Commercial, Wet or Dry), Parts, and Accessories is an Item code encompassing the supply of commercial cleaning equipment—primarily wet/dry and upright vacuums, carpet extractors, floor machines, auto scrubbers, and related consumable repair parts and accessories—that state and local governments deploy for facility maintenance across offices, schools, transit facilities, and public buildings. Recent solicitations show state departments, city and county facilities management divisions, school districts, and special-purpose districts (veterans homes, transit authorities) all purchasing under this code, with buyers acquiring equipment ranging from single units to multi-unit orders with assembly, delivery, and preventative maintenance services bundled into the solicitation scope. The City of St. Petersburg is procuring lead safety equipment including mobile containment units under IFB-26-307 (due October 13, 2026), while the Minnesota Department of Administration issued RFP M-308(5) for janitorial maintenance equipment including vacuums, extractors, blowers, and repair parts as a cooperative purchasing vehicle open to other state agencies (due October 9, 2026). Hillsborough County Public Schools requested bids on custodial equipment including 400 upright vacuums and wet/dry vacuums under ITB 26131-MST, and a Texas state agency solicited ten SEBO Essential G4 Upright Vacuum Cleaners (due July 20, 2026).

Recent activity spans California, Florida, Minnesota, and Texas, with smaller solicitations appearing in multistate cooperative purchasing agreements. The Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle and Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative (Texas-based) catalog discount bid (estimated total expenditures $12.6 million over two years) signal that many state and local jurisdictions coordinate equipment procurement through regional or statewide frameworks. A California Department of Veterans Affairs solicitation (IFB 0000039825, July 2026) specified preventative maintenance and repair services for commercial floor care equipment at a single facility, limited to California Small Businesses with a 3% DVBE participation requirement. The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) solicitation for janitorial services included equipment supply and labor components (IFB 04A7589, due September 24, 2026), with 5% Small Business and DVBE incentive bonuses available. Contracts under this code typically run 12 to 36 months on as-needed bases, often with delivery and assembly requirements and established insurance and certification thresholds; many jurisdictions reserve the right to modify kit contents, quantities, or equipment specifications based on operational needs.
