NIGP 48568: Mop Buckets, Wringers, Bucket Trucks, and Attachments

NIGP 48568 Mop Buckets, Wringers, Bucket Trucks, And Attachments is an Item code under which state and local governments procure both stand-alone mop buckets and wringers as components of broader custodial supply contracts, and complete bucket trucks with specialized boom and platform equipment for utility and maintenance operations. Recent solicitations show a mix of high-volume warehouse stocking for school districts and targeted equipment purchases by water authorities and county fire rescue departments. Issuing bodies include school districts (Pinellas County Schools, Polk County Schools, Marion County Schools, Muscogee County Schools, Madison County Schools, Northside Independent School District), county government departments (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners, Muscogee County School District), water authorities (Macon Water Authority), and regional purchasing cooperatives serving education members (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative). School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with custodial supplies contracts anchoring regular procurement activity across facility maintenance operations. Individual mop buckets, wringers, and related hand tools appear as line items within larger consolidated custodial procurement RFPs and ITBs; bucket trucks are solicited separately as specialized capital equipment acquisitions. Delivery-to-warehouse and on-site delivery models both appear, depending on whether the procurement consolidates supplies for central distribution or targets specific operational locations.
