NIGP 48532: Deodorants, Room, All Types

NIGP Item 48532, Deodorants, Room, All Types, encompasses room air freshening and odor control products that state and local governments procure as part of routine custodial and facility maintenance operations. Based on recent solicitations, the code captures purchases of battery-powered air diffusers and related room treatment supplies that school districts, municipal facilities, and cooperative purchasing organizations acquire for distribution across multiple buildings. The issuing-body mix reflects school systems as the primary buyers—Cobb County School District in Georgia, Madison County Board of Education in Georgia, and Cooperative Purchasing Agency (CPA), a Georgia-based nonprofit warehouse serving 35 school systems—alongside municipal procurement such as the City of Philadelphia. These jurisdictions typically bundle room deodorants and air freshening equipment with broader custodial-supply contracts rather than purchasing them as standalone line items.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Pennsylvania. Cobb County School District issued IFB B27046 for custodial equipment with a $550,000 estimated expenditure and a September 23, 2026 response date. CPA posted bid 2027-001 for custodial stock supplies—approximately 60 line items including cleaning supplies, paper products, and janitorial equipment—due September 30, 2026, with an annual contract period from January 1 through December 31, 2027. Madison County Board of Education solicited custodial supplies via RFP CSUP 05-26 for eight school facilities, with proposals due June 2, 2026, and pricing firm for 12 months. The City of Philadelphia issued small-order purchase B2727375 for battery-powered air diffusers (ScentAir brand specified) with a July 8, 2026 due date under a Requirements contract structure. Across these opportunities, vendors face firm pricing requirements, F.O.B. destination delivery terms, and tax-exemption documentation from educational buyers.
