NIGP 48552: Dusting Cloths, Treated

NIGP 48552 Dusting Cloths, Treated is an Item code representing one component within the broader custodial supplies category that state and local governments acquire for routine facility maintenance and cleaning operations. School districts dominate procurement activity under this code, soliciting treated dusting cloths as part of comprehensive custodial supply contracts that bundle consumables such as cleaning chemicals, floor care products, mops, brooms, and paper products. Recent opportunities show school districts are acquiring microfiber cloths, treated dust mops, and similar items in substantial quantities — one Georgia procurement specified 20,000 units of microfiber cleaning cloths — alongside floor seal and finish, detergents, disinfectants, foam hand soap, carpet shampoo, and various brushes and equipment. These solicitations are typically structured as RFPs or ITBs with award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, often with the option to award by line item across multiple vendors when cost or service considerations favor disaggregated contracts.

Procurement activity concentrates in school districts across Texas, Georgia, and Florida. Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, Texas issued RFP 2026-071 for custodial supplies with a June 4, 2026 response deadline, replacing an expiring contract and requiring all vendors to re-bid to maintain business continuity.
