NIGP 48591: Stain Remover, Pet

NIGP 48591 Stain Remover, Pet is an Item code that describes cleaning chemical products state and local governments procure as part of broader custodial supply contracts. In practice, the code captures pet stain removal products that school districts, counties, and other public facilities integrate into their inventory management systems for janitorial operations. State and local buyers source these products through two primary contracting vehicles: discrete, line-item solicitations where custodial chemicals are bundled with other facility-maintenance supplies, and catalog discount agreements managed through regional purchasing cooperatives that aggregate demand across multiple member entities and offer volume pricing on standardized product categories.

Recent procurement activity shows school districts as the dominant issuing bodies. Muscogee County School District in Columbus, Georgia, solicited custodial supplies through IFB 26-022 with a May 22, 2026 response deadline, organizing 104 line items across five categories including cleaning chemicals; the contract runs July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 with renewal options. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Kilgore, Texas, manages a multi-district catalog discount RFP (CUS2223) with an estimated total expenditure of $5.22 million across its member school districts and educational entities; the previous iteration drew 49 respondents, signaling established vendor competition. Geographic activity clusters in Texas and Georgia, with regional cooperatives extending reach across member jurisdictions. Vendors must carry comprehensive general liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage, provide Material Safety Data Sheets for all products, and comply with state-specific employment and security requirements where applicable.
