NIGP 48570: Mops, Heads, and Handles, Dry and Treated Types

NIGP 48570 Mops, Heads, and Handles, Dry and Treated Types, an Item code, addresses consumable cleaning equipment that state and local governments procure as part of broader custodial and janitorial supply contracts. The code captures dry and treated mops—heads and handles—purchased alongside other floor-care and facility-maintenance products by schools, counties, and transit agencies. State and local purchasing offices solicit mops under integrated custodial-supply RFPs rather than as standalone line items; mops appear as component products within larger supply agreements alongside brooms, dust mops, detergents, disinfectants, and related cleaning chemicals. Issuing bodies include school districts (primary), county governments, and specialized agencies such as fire rescue departments and state transportation departments. Repeat buyers in recent opportunities include Cobb County School District, Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, Madison County Board of Education in Georgia, and Anaheim Union High School District in California—all of which reference mops and mop buckets as line items in custodial supply procurements.

Recent activity spans multiple states with concentration in California, Texas, Georgia, and Florida. Cobb County School District (Georgia) issued an ITB for custodial equipment with an estimated expenditure of $550,000 (due September 23, 2026); Northside Independent School District (Texas) posted RFP 2026-071 for custodial supplies (due June 4, 2026), explicitly replacing an expiring contract; Madison County Board of Education (Georgia) solicited custodial supplies including mops and mop buckets under RFP CSUP 05-26 (due June 2, 2026); and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) requested bids for consumable janitorial and operational supplies for the Fire Rescue Department with an estimated contract value of $765,679.84 (ITB due July 24, 2026). School district procurement cycles cluster around spring and early summer for mid-year or fiscal-year-start delivery. No federal set-asides or restrictions on mops appear in recent solicitations; standard state requirements such as E-Verify compliance, debarment certification, and drug-free workplace attestation are routine.
