NIGP 48602: Animal Cage Cleaning Compound, Environmentally Certified Products

NIGP 48602 Animal Cage Cleaning Compound, Environmentally Certified Products, an Item code, covers disinfectant cleaners and deodorizers formulated for animal care facilities, specifically products engineered to eliminate pathogens common in veterinary and shelter environments while meeting environmental sustainability standards. State and local governments procure these compounds in multiple formats — concentrated drums, gallon containers, pre-saturated wipes, and ready-to-use sprays — for use in animal shelters, veterinary clinics, and rescue facilities operated by or contracted through county and municipal animal resources departments. The work involves supply of proprietary disinfectant products that meet non-substitutable performance specifications, such as efficacy against Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper Virus, and ringworm, coupled with corrosion-resistant formulations suitable for equipment commonly found in animal care settings. County animal resources departments and government-operated veterinary services are the primary issuing bodies under this code.

Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners posted Invitation to Bid ITB2600213 on March 26, 2026, seeking supply of Rescue Concentrated disinfectant in four formats for its Pet Resources Department, with bids due April 17, 2026. The two-year contract carried an estimated value of $145,200.00 and was available to members of the Hillsborough County Governmental Purchasing Council under identical terms. The solicitation required suppliers to demonstrate recent experience providing the specified Rescue Concentrate product with delivery within seven days of purchase order issuance to the Tampa, Florida location, and mandated compliance documentation including drug-free workplace certification and liability insurance naming the County as an additional insured. No set-asides or disadvantaged enterprise restrictions applied, and no performance bonds were required. Recent opportunities under this code are limited; activity appears concentrated in county-level animal services procurement in Florida.
