NIGP 48634: Detergent, Steam and Hot Water Spray Cleaning, Environmentally Certified Product

NIGP 48634 Detergent, Steam And Hot Water Spray Cleaning, Environmentally Certified Product is an Item code under which state and local governments procure cleaning chemicals and related sanitation supplies for food service operations, facilities maintenance, and specialized cleaning services. The scope of work includes all-purpose cleaners, concentrated detergents for pot and pan washing, sanitizers, germicidal detergents, multi-purpose degreasers, hand soaps, and hand sanitizers, along with dispensing equipment and ancillary supplies. School districts represent the dominant issuing-body category under this code, soliciting cleaning chemicals to support cafeteria and food preparation areas across multiple nutrition sites. Contracts typically include delivery, training in food safety protocols such as HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points), on-site monitoring, and comprehensive documentation requirements. Transit authorities and municipal agencies also solicit under the code for specialized cleaning services; the District of Columbia recently posted for command bus cleaning services. Vendors must comply with Buy American provisions, OSHA hazard communication requirements, debarment certifications for awards above $25,000, and state-level security and immigration compliance verifications where applicable.
