NIGP 43556: Detergent-Disinfectant, Quaternary Ammonium Type

NIGP 43556 Detergent-Disinfectant, Quaternary Ammonium Type, an Item code, covers quaternary ammonium-based cleaning and disinfecting compounds that state and local governments procure for facility maintenance, infection control, and routine sanitization across offices, schools, transit facilities, and public buildings. These products serve dual-purpose applications—removing soil and organic matter while simultaneously disinfecting surfaces—and are used in both routine cleaning cycles and heightened sanitation protocols. The code captures ready-to-use formulations as well as concentrate products that purchasers dilute on-site, typically supplied in bulk quantities (drums, cases, or gallons) to high-volume users such as school districts, municipal facilities departments, and transit authorities.

No recent state and local contract opportunities under NIGP 43556 appear in available records. The code remains a component of broader facility maintenance and janitorial-supply procurement frameworks, but does not currently surface as a standalone RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB in the activity stream. Buyers under this Item typically source quaternary disinfectants through cooperative purchasing agreements, state-level janitorial-supply contracts, or as line items within larger environmental services RFPs rather than as single-commodity solicitations. Monitor the code for activity if your firm targets school districts or municipal public-works departments executing annual or multi-year facility-cleaning contracts where quaternary disinfectants represent a material input.
