NIGP 48544: Dispensers, Lotion and Soap (Including Waterless Soap Dispenser)

NIGP 48544 Dispensers, Lotion And Soap (Including Waterless Soap Dispenser), an Item code, covers restroom and facility dispensers—soap, sanitizer, paper towel, and toilet paper units—that state and local governments procure as standalone equipment or as part of broader custodial supply packages. Recent solicitations show school districts, county governments, and county fire departments buying both specialty dispensers (touchless models, hybrid soap-sanitizer units, jumbo roll dispensers) and bulk consumable supplies bundled with dispensing equipment. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Northside ISD in San Antonio, Madison County Schools in Georgia, Cobb County Schools in Georgia), county purchasing offices (Gwinnett County Department of Financial Services, Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners), and county recreation departments. The code draws activity across multiple issuing-body types purchasing for ongoing facility operations—fire stations operating around the clock, senior centers, and multi-building school campuses.
