NIGP 48508: Bottles, Plastic (for Cleaners, Detergents, and Janitorial Supplies)

NIGP 48508 Bottles, Plastic (For Cleaners, Detergents, And Janitorial Supplies) is an Item code that rolls up plastic bottle and container sales into school districts, counties, cities, and special-purpose districts procuring janitorial and custodial supply packages. The recent solicitations framing this code reveal that state and local buyers do not typically purchase plastic bottles as a standalone line item; instead, they acquire them as part of larger, bundled custodial supply and equipment contracts that include cleaning chemicals, paper products, tools, and related consumables. Representative recent activity includes Northside Independent School District in San Antonio issuing RFP 2026-071 for custodial supplies (due June 4, 2026), Madison County Board of Education in Georgia requesting proposals for custodial supplies serving 787,296 square feet across eight schools (due June 2, 2026), and Dougherty County School System in Georgia soliciting warehouse restocking of custodial supplies through RFQ 004-PUR-2027 (due May 27, 2026). School districts dominate recent solicitations under this code, though county boards of education, cities, and cooperative purchasing vehicles (such as the Association of Educational Purchasing Agencies' AEPA #027-B cooperative for 31 state member agencies, due August 13, 2026) also participate.

Recent activity clusters heavily in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in California and Florida. The Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Tampa, Florida issued ITB-26-00319 for janitorial and operational supplies to support 47 fire stations (contract value $765,679.84, due July 24, 2026), and Solano County in California solicited toiletry paper products for jail and detention facilities through IFB 641030424 (due April 15, 2024, indicating a mature contract). The City of South Fulton, Georgia posted RFP #26-21 for special events cleaning services (due May 28, 2026), and the City of Mableton, Georgia requested proposals for comprehensive janitorial services covering municipal court and administrative offices under RFP 27-06 (due September 25, 2026, with pre-proposal conference September 2, 2026). School districts in Cobb County and Forsyth County, Georgia both solicited custodial supplies and equipment in early September 2026. Estimated contract values where disclosed range from $550,000 (Cobb County School District B27046, due September 23, 2026) to $765,679.84 (Hillsborough County Fire Rescue janitorial supplies). Most awards support one-year terms with optional renewal periods, and delivery terms typically require FOB destination pricing and 5–10 day fulfillment windows.
