NIGP 48572: Mops, Heads, and Handles, Wet Types

NIGP 48572 Mops, Heads, and Handles, Wet Types is an Item code representing a subset of consumable janitorial supplies—specifically wet-cleaning equipment including mop heads, wet mops with attachments, and related handles—that state and local governments procure as part of larger custodial and janitorial supply contracts. School districts, county education boards, municipal fire rescue departments, and state agencies are the primary buyers, sourcing wet mops and mop equipment through competitive sealed bids and RFPs structured either as standalone contracts for cleaning supplies or as line items within broader janitorial procurement. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (Florida Fire Rescue Department) issued ITB 26-00319 for janitorial and operational supplies with an estimated contract value of $765,679.84 due July 24, 2026, requiring new, unused products and authorized distributor status; Pinellas County Schools solicited custodial supplies including mops through ITB 25-JG-072 with an estimated annual value of approximately $900,000; and Muscogee County School District (Georgia) sought custodial supplies and equipment under solicitation 26-022 with 104 line items including floor care supplies and equipment awarded to nine vendors. The category also appears in smaller school district procurements such as Madison County Schools (Georgia) CSUP 05-26 and Marion County Schools (Florida) 4152AM, which specified mop heads and buckets among ninety-five line items for central warehouse delivery.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Georgia school districts and county systems, with notable representation from California state agencies (California Department of Motor Vehicles issued IFBs 25-302 and 25302R2 for janitorial supply rental and delivery including wet mops across 14 field offices). The California DMV contracts, with estimated 24- to 36-month terms valued at $161,316.00, involve weekly pickup and delivery of mops (30", 36", and 42" sizes) and related laundry-rental services, distinct from traditional purchase-and-delivery models. Procurement spans ITB, RFP, and IFB notice types with response dates clustered between February and August 2026. Cooperative purchasing also appears: Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative (Texas) issued RFP CUS2223 for custodial supplies with anticipated expenditures of $5,220,140 across member entities. School districts consistently evaluate bids on cost, product quality, delivery capability, and compliance with green-product certifications (Green Seal, Ecologo, EPA DfE), with most contracts running one to two years with optional renewals and requiring vendor proof of liability insurance, Material Safety Data Sheets, and E-Verify compliance.
