NIGP 48557: Fly-Swatters

NIGP 48557 Fly-Swatters, an Item code, encompasses insect-control hand tools that state and local governments procure as part of broader custodial supply and facility maintenance programs. Recent solicitations show fly swatters appearing primarily as line items within larger competitive bids for mixed custodial supplies and equipment, rather than as standalone purchases. The Muscogee County School District in Columbus, Georgia, included fly swatters implicitly within its 2026 custodial supplies procurement covering cleaning chemicals, paper products, floor care equipment, and tools across all schools and non-school locations. The Missouri Department of Corrections explicitly solicited fly swatters (six cases annually) as a discrete line item within its household items for canteen resale program serving nineteen correctional institutions. Issuing bodies under this code include school districts, state correctional facilities, and other state and local agencies managing facilities at scale where bulk tool procurement makes economic sense. The code sees activity across school procurement offices and state agency departments responsible for institutional supplies and retail operations.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia and Missouri, with the Missouri Department of Corrections soliciting through the MissouriBUYS electronic procurement system for a canteen resale contract with an estimated annual value of $57,414.00 and an initial one-year term renewable for three additional one-year periods. The Muscogee County School District issued an IFB (Solicitation 26-022) with a response deadline of May 22, 2026, for custodial supplies and equipment covering 104 line items across five categories, with contract commencement on July 1, 2026, and renewal options available in one-year increments not to exceed three total years. Neither solicitation identified set-aside designations or incumbent vendors. The Missouri contract applies a 10 percent preference for American-made products, 5–15 bonus points for Organizations for the Blind or Sheltered Workshops participation, and 3 bonus points for Service-Disabled Veteran Business Enterprises. Vendors must meet comprehensive insurance requirements, provide three references of similar scope, and comply with state-specific tax registration and conflict-of-interest provisions.
