NIGP 48628: Cleaner and Wax: Window, Mirror, and Glass, Environmentally Certified Products

NIGP 48628 Cleaner and Wax: Window, Mirror, and Glass, Environmentally Certified Products, an Item code, encompasses window and building cleaning services and consumable janitorial supplies for state and local facilities. State and local governments buy recurring window cleaning at municipal properties ranging from single specialized buildings to multi-facility portfolios, as well as consumable cleaning chemicals and supplies for emergency services and government operations. Services are typically performed under fixed schedules or on an as-needed basis, with labor, equipment including mechanical lifts, materials, and supplies furnished by the contractor. Most recent solicitations impose green-cleaning standards requiring EPA-approved or environmentally certified chemicals, prevailing-wage or living-wage labor requirements, and comprehensive insurance. Issuing bodies include state transportation departments, county governments, cities, and fire rescue departments. Set-asides appear in some opportunities—California's Caltrans restricted one solicitation to certified small businesses, disabled veteran business enterprises, and micro businesses—while others are open to any qualified vendor.

Recent activity spans California, Florida, and beyond. Caltrans District 11 in San Diego posted an IFPQ for window and building washing services at a transportation management center, restricted to SB/DVBE vendors, due October 1, 2026, with an estimated contract value exceeding $5,000 but capped below $250,000 and prevailing wages of $18.53 per hour for window cleaners.
