NIGP 48529: Cleanser, Powdered, Chlorinated

NIGP 48529 Cleanser, Powdered, Chlorinated is an Item code that describes powdered bleach and chlorinated cleaning agents that state and local governments procure as part of broader custodial supply contracts. School districts dominate recent solicitations under this code, purchasing powdered chlorinated cleansers alongside detergents, disinfectants, floor care products, and paper goods for facility maintenance across multiple buildings and grounds. Issuing bodies include independent school districts, county boards of education, and regional purchasing cooperatives serving educational consortia. The work involves selecting vendors to supply consumable cleaning chemicals on a firm-price basis, typically with delivery to multiple district locations, inside delivery assistance, and contract terms running one to three years with renewal options.
