NIGP 48577: Rubber Cleaner

NIGP 48577, Rubber Cleaner, is an Item code that encompasses cleaning products and compounds used to remove soiling from rubber surfaces and rubber-based equipment in state and local facilities. Recent solicitations show school districts procuring rubber cleaners as part of broader custodial supply and equipment programs supporting facility maintenance across all district locations. The code appears in school district purchasing activity where custodial supply consolidation is common — districts bundle rubber cleaners with other janitorial products in single RFP awards to simplify vendor management and achieve volume pricing.

Cobb County School District in Georgia posted an IFB for custodial equipment with an estimated expenditure of $550,000 over the contract term (response deadline September 23, 2026), and Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, Texas issued an RFP for custodial supplies with a June 4, 2026 response deadline that replaced an expiring contract. Both solicitations required vendors to cover shipping and handling to district locations. The code sees activity concentrated in school districts; the recent opportunities block does not support evidence of activity from other issuing body types, state departments, counties, or municipalities under this specific Item code.
