NIGP 47514: Brush-Sponges, Scrub Brushes, and Dispensers

NIGP 47514 Brush-Sponges, Scrub Brushes, and Dispensers (Item) covers consumable cleaning supplies and equipment that state and local governments procure on an as-needed basis for facilities maintenance and operations. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring janitorial brushes, sponges, scrubbing tools, and related dispensers as part of broader consumable-supplies contracts for fire rescue operations, school district custodial programs, and general building maintenance. Counties and independent school districts are the primary issuing bodies under this code, with procurement structured as multi-line consumables agreements where brush-sponges and scrub supplies represent one category among many janitorial line items. Contracts typically impose requirements for new, unused products in original packaging; authorized-distributor status; and firm-fixed pricing with no guaranteed minimum purchase volumes.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Florida. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners posted an ITB for consumable janitorial and operational supplies (ITB2600319, due July 24, 2026) valued at $765,679.84 for one year, serving 47 fire stations across the county with delivery to Tampa, Florida. Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, Texas issued an RFP for custodial equipment (RFP2026049, due March 26, 2026) covering supplies for 83 elementary schools, 21 middle schools, 13 high schools, and 11 magnet schools, with one-year initial term plus two optional renewal years. Both contracts specify delivery within defined timeframes, compliance with safety documentation requirements, and award discretion across single or multiple vendors by line item or overall bid value.
