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

NIGP 48572 Mops, Heads, and Handles, Wet Types is an Item code that captures state and local procurement of wet-type mop equipment — mop heads, handles, and related hardware — as components of broader custodial and janitorial supply contracts. State and local governments buy these products primarily through multi-item custodial-supply solicitations rather than standalone mop requests; they are bundled alongside floor finishes, disinfectants, trash liners, brooms, and paper products. Recent opportunities show school districts, county governments, and special-purpose cooperative purchasing agencies as the primary issuing bodies. School districts dominate the market — Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, Cobb County School District in Georgia, Madison County Board of Education in Georgia, Anaheim City School District, and Anaheim Union High School District have all posted custodial-supply RFPs in the past five months. County governments and detention facilities appear as secondary buyers: Chatham County, Georgia solicited warehouse supplies including mop heads and handles for its detention center under ITB 26-0099-6 (due September 15, 2026), and Hillsborough County, Florida issued an ITB for janitorial supplies serving 47 fire stations (estimated value $765,679.84, due July 24, 2026). Cooperative Purchasing Agency, a nonprofit Georgia warehouse serving 35 school systems, posted bid 2027-001 for custodial stock supplies covering approximately 60 line items including mops and related janitorial equipment (due September 30, 2026).

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Florida, with secondary presence in Texas and California. Georgia shows the highest recent volume — Chatham County detention supplies (September 15, 2026 deadline), Cobb County School District custodial equipment ($550,000 estimated expenditure, September 23, 2026 deadline), Madison County Schools custodial supplies (June 2, 2026 deadline), and CPA's multi-district cooperative bid (September 30, 2026 deadline) all posted in August and September 2026. Florida activity includes Hillsborough County Fire Rescue Department's janitorial and operational supplies ITB (July 24, 2026 deadline). Texas and California school districts have also posted custodial-supply RFPs. Mop heads and handles typically appear as line items with firm pricing required for 12 months, F.O.B. destination delivery, and no minimum order quantities guaranteed in the majority of opportunities. Sample submission requirements and product specification sheets are standard. Contracts run one to three years with optional annual renewals, and M/WBE participation goals or small-business set-asides are present in some jurisdictions but not consistently applied across all solicitations.
