NIGP 48648: Dispensers (for Sanitary Napkins and Tampons), Environmentally Certified Products

NIGP 48648 Dispensers (For Sanitary Napkins And Tampons), Environmentally Certified Products is an Item code capturing environmentally certified sanitary product dispensers that state and local governments procure as part of broader facility operations and janitorial supply contracts. The code reflects buying activity centered on dispensing equipment for menstrual hygiene products across public facilities — fire stations, municipal buildings, schools, transit facilities, and other government workplaces — where the equipment is sourced as part of consumable supply agreements rather than as standalone capital purchases. Recent solicitations frame these items within larger janitorial and operational supply aggregations, indicating that state and local buyers treat sanitary dispensers as commodities bundled with routine facility maintenance and cleaning supplies rather than specialized standalone procurements.

Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issued the most recent posted opportunity under this code: ITB2600319, Janitorial and Operational Supplies, due July 24, 2026, with an estimated one-year contract value of $765,679.84 for the Hillsborough County Fire Rescue Department across 47 fire stations operating continuously. The IFB specified delivery to Tampa, Florida, with standard delivery required within ten days of purchase order and emergency delivery within five business days. The county reserved the right to award by line item, group/section, or overall total net bid price and shared the contract opportunity with members of the Hillsborough County Governmental Purchasing Council under the same terms. The solicitation reflects typical state and local procurement patterns: fixed-price competitive sealed bidding, FOB Destination pricing with shipping included, authorized-distributor requirements, and no guaranteed minimum purchase volumes.
