NIGP 48501: Ammonia and Other Chemicals, Household (Plain or Sudsing)

NIGP 48501 Ammonia And Other Chemicals, Household (Plain Or Sudsing), Item code, covers consumable cleaning chemicals and related supplies that state and local governments procure for custodial and janitorial operations across facilities. Recent solicitations show school districts and county governments purchasing specific branded cleaning products—floor cleaners, disinfectants, all-purpose cleaners, laundry detergents, hand soaps, and dispensers—along with consumable supplies such as trash bags, mops, brooms, brushes, rags, and paper products for distribution to multiple buildings. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with recent opportunities from Cobb County School District (Georgia), Northside Independent School District (Texas), Madison County Board of Education (Georgia), and Clayton County Public Schools (Georgia); Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) represents county-level purchasing. Contracts are typically structured as as-needed or annual supply agreements with firm pricing and delivery obligations to multiple district locations or county facilities.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Florida, with secondary activity in Texas.
