NIGP 48511: Cleaner and Detergent, Paste and Tablets

NIGP 48511 Cleaner and Detergent, Paste and Tablets is an Item code that covers consumable cleaning and chemical supplies state and local governments procure for facility maintenance and custodial operations. The scope encompasses janitorial supplies such as detergents, disinfectants, cleaning chemicals, floor seal and finish, foam hand soap, hand sanitizer, carpet shampoo, trash bags, and related consumables that school districts, county government, and public-safety agencies order on an as-needed basis for ongoing operations. School districts represent the dominant issuing body in recent activity, with Cobb County School District, Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas), and Madison County Schools (Georgia) all actively soliciting under this code. County government agencies also procure here—Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida issued an ITB for janitorial and operational supplies for its Fire Rescue Department. Vendors must typically be authorized distributors, deliver within specified timeframes (often five to ten days), meet packaging and quality standards, and provide pricing on a free-on-board destination basis with all shipping included.

Recent opportunities show strongest activity in Florida, Texas, and Georgia. Hillsborough County (Florida) issued ITB 26-00319 for janitorial and operational supplies on July 7, 2026 with a due date of July 24, 2026, seeking consumables for 47 fire stations operating 24/7 across a one-year period estimated at $765,679.84. Northside Independent School District (Texas) posted RFP 2026-071 on May 13, 2026 with a June 4, 2026 response deadline, replacing an expiring contract for custodial supplies district-wide. Madison County Board of Education (Georgia) issued RFP CSUP 05-26 on May 4, 2026 with responses due June 2, 2026, seeking supplies for eight school facilities across approximately 787,296 square feet. Cobb County School District (Georgia) posted solicitation B27046 on September 4, 2026 with a September 23, 2026 deadline for custodial equipment across all district locations, estimating $550,000 in expenditures. School districts typically require firm pricing for 12 months and permit annual renewals; counties frequently reserve the right to award by line item or overall net bid price and may share contracts through governmental purchasing councils.
