NIGP 48610: Brooms, Brushes, and Handles, Environmentally Certified Products

NIGP 48610 Brooms, Brushes, and Handles, Environmentally Certified Products is an Item code covering consumable and replacement brushes, brooms, and related handles that state and local governments purchase as components of broader janitorial, custodial, and street-maintenance operations. Recent solicitations show these items flowing primarily through larger standing contracts for janitorial supplies (where brooms and brushes represent line items among dozens of cleaning products) and specialized procurement for street-sweeper equipment. Issuing bodies span school districts, county governments, municipal agencies, and special-purpose districts. Large school districts including Gwinnett County Public Schools (Georgia), Anaheim Union High School District (California), Pinellas County School District (Florida), and Marion County Schools (Florida) regularly solicit custodial supply contracts that bundle brooms, brushes, mops, and cleaning chemicals. County procurement offices at Hillsborough County (Florida) and Cook County (Illinois) issue standing janitorial contracts serving multiple departments and facilities. Specialized municipal procurement—such as the City of Peoria's 2026 IFB for street-sweeper brooms and gutter brushes—targets specific operational needs. The code also captures smaller-scale orders like the Weber County Library System's 2026 cleaning supplies bid.

Geographically, recent activity concentrates in Florida (Hillsborough County, Pinellas County Schools, Marion County Schools), California (Anaheim Union High School District), Georgia (Gwinnett County Public Schools), and Illinois (Cook County), with additional solicitations from Arizona (City of Peoria), Massachusetts (City of Worcester), and Utah (Weber County Library System). Representative opportunities include Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' July 2026 ITB for janitorial and operational supplies with a closing date of July 24, 2026, estimated at $765,679.84 for annual consumption across 47 fire stations; Pinellas County School District's February 2026 ITB (25-JG-072) for custodial supplies with brooms, mops, and brushes among ninety-five line items, with a contract value near $900,000 annually; and the City of Peoria's February 2026 IFB for replacement street-sweeper brooms and brushes, estimating $100,000 in annual volume. School districts show explicit preference for environmentally certified products—Pinellas County emphasizes Green Seal, EcoLogo, and EPA Designed for the Environment certification, and Weber County Library requires Forest Stewardship Council certification on applicable paper items.
