NIGP 48558: Furniture Polish

NIGP 48558 Furniture Polish, an Item code, represents a narrow slice of custodial and cleaning consumables that state and local governments procure as part of broader facility maintenance operations. In practice, recent school district solicitations under this code reveal that the actual purchasing encompasses a far wider range of custodial supplies than the code title suggests—including trash bags, floor seal and finish, detergents, disinfectants, cleaning chemicals, foam hand soap with dispensers, hand sanitizer with dispensers, rags, carpet shampoo, mops, mop buckets, dust mops, brooms, brushes, and paper products. School districts are the primary issuing bodies visible in current activity, with Cobb County School District in Georgia, Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, Texas, and Madison County Board of Education in Danielsville, Georgia all actively soliciting custodial supplies through RFP processes.

Recent opportunities show activity concentrated in the Southeast, particularly Georgia and Texas, with school districts using multi-year contract vehicles that include renewal options. Cobb County School District posted solicitation B27046 for custodial equipment with an estimated expenditure of $550,000 over the contract term, due September 23, 2026. Northside Independent School District issued RFP 2026-071 for custodial supplies with a June 4, 2026 deadline, replacing an expiring contract and requiring all vendors to resubmit to maintain business continuity. Madison County Board of Education in Danielsville, Georgia released RFP CSUP 05-26 on May 4, 2026 with a June 2, 2026 submission deadline, seeking supplies for eight school facilities across 787,296 square feet and emphasizing firm pricing for 12 months with delivery included, requiring proof of $500,000 general liability insurance.
