NIGP 48585: Soap, Scrubbing Type (see 435-72 for Surgical Scrub)

NIGP 48585 Soap, Scrubbing Type is an Item code that encompasses personal hygiene and cleaning products—specifically bar and liquid soaps, detergents, and scrubbing compounds—procured by state and local governments for facility operations, inmate and resident care, and administrative use. State and local issuing bodies under this code include county governments, independent school districts, and county boards of commissioners. Schools are a standout repeat buyer; Atlanta Public Schools has posted multiple solicitations for custodial and janitorial supplies, and Northside Independent School District in San Antonio recently sought custodial supplies through RFP. County purchasing offices also drive activity: Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners recently posted an informal written quote (IWQ) for personal hygiene products and household items including shampoo and conditioner, while Cobb County School District posted a bid for custodial equipment with an estimated contract value of $550,000 across all district locations.
