NIGP 48514: Cleaner, Hand, Mechanics' Waterless

NIGP 48514 Cleaner, Hand, Mechanics' Waterless, an Item code, represents a narrow consumable within the broader custodial and janitorial supply procurement category that state and local governments source as part of comprehensive cleaning-product buys. Recent state and local opportunities show hand cleaning soap and waterless hand cleaners being solicited alongside broader custodial portfolios rather than as standalone line items; Dallas County, Texas posted a discrete procurement for hand cleaning soap in April 2026, but most school districts and county systems acquire waterless hand cleaners as part of larger custodial-supply RFPs that bundle disinfectants, detergents, paper products, and floor-care chemicals into single solicitations. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and county education systems, with occasional municipal and county government demand; Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, Madison County Board of Education in Georgia, Muscogee County School District in Columbus, Georgia, and Donna Independent School District in Texas all issued custodial-supply RFPs in the April–June 2026 window that itemize hand soap, hand sanitizer, and related cleaning products.

Activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia, with secondary presence in New Jersey and broader Texas cooperative purchasing vehicles. Muscogee County School District's solicitation (PE55220NONST2026000000030, due May 22, 2026) covers 104 line items across cleaning chemicals, paper products, and floor-care supplies delivered to all district schools and non-school locations, with contract award scheduled for June 29, 2026 and performance running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 with three one-year renewal options. Madison County Schools' RFP CSUP 05-26 (due June 2, 2026) seeks consumable supplies for eight facilities serving 5,415 students across 787,296 square feet, with pricing firm for 12 months and annual renewal available up to four times. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas fielded a custodial-supplies catalog-discount RFP (CUS2223, contracted through June 2023) with estimated total expenditures of $5.22 million across member entities. Most school district RFPs weight cost at 15 percent alongside contractor qualifications, experience, financial responsibility, and references, with multiple-award structures common to allow districts purchasing flexibility across several vendors.
