NIGP 48540: Disinfectants, Spray and Powdered

NIGP 48540 Disinfectants, Spray and Powdered is an Item code under which state and local governments procure janitorial and custodial disinfectants, typically as part of broader cleaning-supply contracts for schools, counties, and municipal facilities. School districts dominate activity under this code, soliciting disinfectants alongside complementary custodial consumables such as trash bags, floor finishes, detergents, hand sanitizers, rags, mops, and paper products. The work encompasses both standalone disinfectant procurements and line items within larger custodial-supply RFPs that serve multiple facilities across a district. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Northside ISD in San Antonio, Madison County Schools in Georgia, Cobb County School District in Georgia, Anaheim City School District in California), county boards of commissioners (Hillsborough County, Florida), and cooperative purchasing vehicles that aggregate demand across multiple districts (Cooperative Purchasing Agency, a Georgia nonprofit serving 35 school systems). Response formats include RFPs, ITBs, and cooperative-purchasing bids with estimated annual contract values ranging from $550,000 (Cobb County School District custodial equipment) to $765,679.84 (Hillsborough County janitorial supplies for fire rescue).

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and California, with secondary presence in Texas and Florida. The Cooperative Purchasing Agency's CPA's 2027-001 Custodial Stock Supplies Bid (due September 30, 2026) exemplifies the code's scope: covering approximately 60 line items including disinfectants, wipes, and degreasers for delivery to CPA's Cleveland, Georgia warehouse, with pricing firm for 12 months, F.O.B. destination, and net-30 payment terms. Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas) issued RFP 2026-071 for custodial supplies (due June 4, 2026), replacing an expiring contract and requiring all incumbent vendors to recompete. Madison County Board of Education (Danielsville, Georgia) solicited custodial supplies including disinfectants under CSUP 05-26 (due June 2, 2026) across eight school facilities. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issued ITB 2600319 for janitorial and operational supplies for 47 fire stations (due July 24, 2026) at $765,679.84 estimated value, requiring authorized distributor status and standard delivery within 10 days. Vendors bidding disinfectants should anticipate tax-exempt status for school districts, firm pricing commitments for 12 months, F.O.B. destination delivery terms, proof of insurance requirements, and evaluation criteria that weight qualifications, experience, and references alongside cost.
