NIGP 48564: Janitor Carts and Bags

NIGP 48564 Janitor Carts and Bags, an Item code, encompasses consumable janitorial supplies and equipment that state and local governments procure to support facility maintenance across schools, transportation departments, water districts, and municipal operations. Recent solicitations show a mix of custodial supplies (trash bags in multiple sizes, paper products, cleaning chemicals, mops, brooms, carts, and storage containers) and janitorial labor services that depend on or work alongside these supplies. Issuing bodies span school districts (Cobb County School District in Georgia, Northside Independent School District in Texas, Madison County Board of Education in Georgia), state transportation departments (California Department of Transportation), special-purpose districts (Water Replenishment District of Southern California), and city governments (City of Dallas, City of Philadelphia). Cooperative purchasing vehicles also appear in the mix, with the Cooperative Purchasing Agency in Georgia aggregating demand from 35 school systems and warehousing inventory. The code sees activity from state departments purchasing for individual facilities as well as district-wide and multi-facility procurement by school systems seeking to serve dozens of schools with centralized supply agreements.
