NIGP 48525: Cleaner, Tile and Grout

NIGP 48525 Cleaner, Tile and Grout, an Item code, covers consumable cleaning supplies and equipment that state and local governments procure for facility maintenance and custodial operations. Recent solicitations show school districts purchasing trash bags, floor seal and finish, detergents, disinfectants, cleaning chemicals, foam hand soap with dispensers, hand sanitizer with dispensers, rags, carpet shampoo, mops, mop buckets, dust mops, brooms, brushes, paper products, and related custodial equipment for distribution across multiple facilities. Issuing bodies under this code consist primarily of school districts and county boards of education managing maintenance across their facility portfolios, ranging from small district operations to large multi-facility systems.

Georgia school districts dominate recent activity under the code. Madison County Board of Education posted an RFP for custodial supplies on May 4, 2026, due June 2, 2026, to serve eight school facilities across 787,296 square feet for approximately 5,415 students and 621 staff members, with evaluation weighting 20 percent on contractor qualifications, 15 percent on firm history, 20 percent on relevant experience, 15 percent on financial responsibility, 15 percent on references, and 15 percent on cost.

Both solicitations require proof of insurance with $500,000 general liability limits and specify firm pricing for 12 months with no fuel surcharges authorized.
