NIGP 48551: Dry Powder Processing Machine (for the Production and Packaging of Powder Soap)

NIGP 48551 Dry Powder Processing Machine (For The Production And Packaging Of Powder Soap), an Item code, does not align with the state and local procurement activity identified in the recent-opportunities block. The two most recent solicitations posted under this code — Cobb County School District's request for custodial equipment and Madison County Schools' RFP for custodial supplies — address consumable cleaning products, equipment, and supplies such as trash bags, detergents, disinfectants, floor finish, mops, brooms, and paper products. Neither solicitation involves dry powder processing machinery or powder soap manufacturing equipment. The scope of work actually being procured under this code in state and local markets is general custodial supplies and equipment for school districts, not specialized manufacturing or packaging machinery. Issuing bodies are school districts in Georgia, specifically Cobb County School District and Madison County Schools.

Recent activity is concentrated in Georgia. Cobb County School District posted an IFB (B27046) with a due date of September 23, 2026, for custodial equipment with an estimated contract value of $550,000 across all district locations. Madison County Schools issued an RFP (CSUP 05-26) with a due date of June 2, 2026, for custodial supplies serving eight facilities across approximately 787,296 square feet, with pricing firm for 12 months and optional annual renewals up to four times. The RFP weighted evaluation at 20 percent contractor qualifications, 15 percent firm history, 20 percent relevant experience, 15 percent financial responsibility, 15 percent references, and 15 percent cost. No set-aside or disadvantaged-enterprise designations were noted in either solicitation.
