NIGP 48530: Deodorant Blocks, All Types

NIGP 48530 Deodorant Blocks, All Types is an Item code under which state and local governments procure standalone deodorant products—blocks, beads, and concentrated fresheners—for facility maintenance and odor control across schools, municipal departments, and centralized purchasing cooperatives. The code captures both bulk custodial supply contracts that bundle deodorants with other cleaning products and specialized solicitations for specific deodorant types and formulations. Issuing bodies include independent school districts, county school systems, municipal purchasing departments, and regional purchasing cooperatives that aggregate demand across multiple member agencies. Recent solicitations show school districts and city governments treating deodorant blocks as line items within larger custodial-supply RFPs, as well as narrow RFQs for individual deodorant products or odor-control formulations.

The code sees activity concentrated in Texas and Florida, with the most recent opportunities posted between February and June 2026. Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, Texas issued RFP 2026-071 for custodial supplies (bid due June 4, 2026) with deodorant blocks as one component; Muscogee County School District in Columbus, Georgia posted solicitation 26-022 in April 2026 for custodial supplies and equipment across 104 line items with a May 22, 2026 deadline and July 1, 2026 contract start. The City of Tampa, Florida issued two separate RFQs in April 2026—RFQ 26-P-00190 for 360 units of Island Fresh Deodorizer (due March 27, 2026) and RFQ 26-P-00211 for 160 Odor Eliminating Bead Pouches (due April 9, 2026), both with SLBE set-asides limiting responses to certified small local business enterprises in Florida. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, serving Texas school districts and educational entities, maintains a catalog discount RFP (CUS2223) with estimated annual spending of $5.22 million across custodial supplies including deodorants; the prior iteration drew 49 respondents.
