NIGP 48516: Cleaner, Hard Products, General Purpose, Liquid (Includes Graffiti Cleaners)

NIGP 48516 Cleaner, Hard Products, General Purpose, Liquid (Includes Graffiti Cleaners) is an Item code that captures state and local procurement of liquid-based hard-surface cleaning agents, disinfectants, and specialty cleaners for facility maintenance and sanitation. State and local governments buy this code principally through school districts, county and city maintenance departments, and transportation authorities for janitorial operations, building upkeep, and grounds care. Recent solicitations show demand for general-purpose cleaners, disinfectant-deodorizer combinations, and graffiti removal products alongside related custodial consumables such as paper supplies, floor finishes, and hand soap. The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) has procured ACCEL, a cleaner, disinfectant, and deodorizer meeting California technical specifications, for health and sanitation applications across state facilities. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix: DeSoto County School Board in Mississippi, Cobb County School District in Georgia, Northside Independent School District in Texas, Anaheim Union High School District in California, Madison County Board of Education in Georgia, and Middletown Public Schools in Connecticut have all posted custodial-supply solicitations in recent months that include hard-surface cleaning liquids as line items within broader janitorial-supplies or cafeteria-consumables contracts. County and municipal buyers, including Dallas County and the City of Huntsville, Texas, also solicit under this code for maintenance and operations (MRO) supply aggregates that encompass cleaning products.

Geographic activity is concentrated in the Southeast and Southwest, with notable procurement in Mississippi, Georgia, Texas, California, and Connecticut. The most recent opportunity is DeSoto County School Board's solicitation (due 19 October 2026, reverse auction format) for janitorial and paper supplies across 40 line items spanning approximately 40 school locations, requiring delivery within one week at vendor expense and fixed pricing through 30 September 2027. The State of California's RFB (RFBIS26201043, closed 21 September 2026) specified ACCEL cleaner meeting California technical specifications for supply to state agencies. Cobb County School District's custodial-equipment procurement (B27046, due 23 September 2026, estimated $550,000) and Northside Independent School District's custodial-supplies RFP (2026-071, due 4 June 2026) represent mid-market school-district activity. Opportunities typically run one to three years with renewal options and require vendor-furnished delivery, proof of general liability and workers' compensation insurance, and compliance with prevailing-wage or tax-exempt-status requirements where applicable.
