NIGP 48503: Adhesive Removers

NIGP 48503 Adhesive Removers, an Item code, encompasses consumable custodial and janitorial supplies—cleaning chemicals, detergents, disinfectants, paper products, floor care supplies, tools, and equipment—that state and local governments procure for facility maintenance across schools, administrative offices, and support locations. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with recent solicitations from Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas), Madison County Board of Education (Danielsville, Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Columbus, Georgia), and Pinellas County School District (Florida), alongside cooperative purchasing vehicles such as Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative (Texas). These jurisdictions solicit supplies through competitive RFPs and ITBs structured variously as single-award, multi-line, or catalog-discount procurements, with contract values ranging from estimated annual spending of $900,000 (Pinellas County) to regional cooperative expenditures of $5.2 million (Region 7 across all member entities). Evaluation criteria commonly weight contractor qualifications, relevant experience, financial responsibility, references, and cost equally or nearly so, with some districts applying green-product preferences and pricing benchmarks against state master contracts.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Texas, with Georgia and Florida school districts posting solicitations in April through June 2026 and Texas cooperative and independent school district solicitations in the same window. Northside Independent School District posted RFP 2026-071 on May 13, 2026, with a response deadline of June 4, 2026, requiring sealed bids for custodial supplies with shipping included to San Antonio. Madison County Schools issued RFP CSUP 05-26 on May 4, 2026, due June 2, 2026, seeking supplies for eight facilities serving approximately 5,415 students across 787,296 square feet, with pricing firm for 12 months and annual renewal options available. Muscogee County School District released solicitation 26-022 on April 21, 2026, with bids due May 22, 2026, encompassing 104 line items across five categories (cleaning chemicals, paper products, floor care, tools, can liners) with award scheduled for June 29, 2026, and contract commencement July 1, 2026. Pinellas County School District sought sealed electronic bids via ITB 25-JG-072 for warehouse stock supplies with an estimated annual contract value of $900,000 and green-product certification preferences. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative operates a multi-year catalog discount RFP vehicle (CUS2223) serving Texas member school districts.
