NIGP 48515: Cleaner and Polish, Plastic

NIGP 48515 Cleaner and Polish, Plastic is an Item code that rolls up purchases of plastic-based cleaning and polishing compounds. State and local governments buy these products as part of broader custodial supply procurement — typically acquired as consumable items within larger solicitations for janitorial and facility maintenance supplies. School districts represent the dominant buyer class under this code, with recent activity concentrated in Texas, Georgia, and Florida. The work involves supplying plastic cleaners, floor polishes, and related chemical compounds to facilities ranging from single schools to multi-location district operations. Issuing bodies include independent school districts, county school boards, special-purpose purchasing cooperatives serving multiple member districts, and occasionally regional education service centers acting as cooperative procurement vehicles.

Recent opportunities show school districts soliciting custodial supplies through both traditional IFB and RFP structures with response dates clustered in April through June 2026. Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, Texas issued RFP 2026-071 for custodial supplies with a June 4, 2026 deadline, replacing an expiring contract and requiring all incumbents to re-compete. Madison County Board of Education in Danielsville, Georgia solicited custodial supplies (including cleaners and polishes) under CSUP 05-26 with a June 2, 2026 deadline across eight school facilities. Muscogee County School District in Columbus, Georgia procured custodial supplies and equipment under solicitation 26-022 with a May 22, 2026 deadline, organizing 104 line items including cleaning chemicals and floor care supplies. Pinellas County School District in Florida established a custodial supplies contract (ITB 25-JG-072) with an estimated annual value of approximately $900,000. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas aggregated demand across member districts under a catalog discount RFP (CUS2223) with estimated total expenditures of $5.2 million, drawing 49 respondents in the prior bid cycle. These procurements typically include delivery to multiple sites, insurance and compliance requirements, and preference for green-certified products where specified.
