NIGP 47548: Instrument Cleaners: Instrument Milk, Detergents, Lubricants, Rust Inhibitors, etc.

NIGP 47548 Instrument Cleaners: Instrument Milk, Detergents, Lubricants, Rust Inhibitors, Etc., an Item code, covers cleaning agents and protective compounds for equipment maintenance across state and local operations. State and local governments procure under this code when they need chemical products to clean, lubricate, and protect instruments and machinery — everything from medical examination equipment in occupational health programs to law enforcement and transit fleet assets. The issuing bodies include state departments of transportation, county governments, and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multi-jurisdictional coalitions of municipal agencies and special-purpose districts.

Recent solicitation activity shows limited direct visibility under this specific Item code. The two most recent state and local opportunities appearing in available records — the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP 20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services (due October 9, 2026) and Sourcewell's RFP 061626 for law enforcement equipment serving Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, Yakima County, and numerous other jurisdictions across Washington and beyond — do not explicitly identify 47548 as a primary procurement line item. Activity under this code appears concentrated in Washington State based on recent postings, though the scope of Sourcewell's multi-state cooperative vehicle suggests broader geographic interest when established contracts are activated by participating entities. No additional representative opportunities specifically named under NIGP 47548 are present in the available source material.
