NIGP 48665: Janitorial Equipment and Supplies (Not Otherwise Classified), Environmentally Certified Products

NIGP 48665 Janitorial Equipment and Supplies (Not Otherwise Classified), Environmentally Certified Products is an Item code. State and local governments procure disposable paper products (tissue, towels, wipers), custodial supplies (cleaners, trash liners, garbage bags, buffers, scrubbers, extractors), and janitorial services across recurring contracts and single-item purchases, with issuing bodies drawing from school districts, city and county procurement offices, port authorities, and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multi-state education consortia. Recent solicitations reflect a dominant school-district buyer base alongside emerging municipal activity: Lake County Schools (Florida) seeks disposable paper products under ITB 26-0803-B-TF969 with August 2026 response dates; Parkway School District (location not specified) requests custodial equipment parts and repairs on an RFQ basis; Clarke County School District (Georgia) bid industrial floor cleaning equipment and charging stations under IFB 26-0814; Houston County School District (Georgia) solicited custodial supplies under ITB 27-008; and Dougherty County School System (Georgia) requested warehouse restock supplies under RFQ 004-PUR-2027. Municipalities including Arlington (Texas), Mableton (Georgia), the City of Pembroke Pines (Florida), South Fulton (Georgia), and Dallas (Texas) have posted janitorial-services RFPs and ITBs; the Lee County Port Authority (Florida) requested janitorial services for Page Field; and Hillsborough County (Florida) solicited consumable janitorial and operational supplies for 47 fire stations under ITB-26-00319, with an estimated value of $765,679.84 for one year.

Geographic activity clusters in Florida, Georgia, and Texas over the past five months, with multistate penetration via the Association of Educational Purchasing Agencies (AEPA) cooperative vehicle seeking custodial supplies and equipment responses from vendors capable of serving 31 state members through August 2026. Recent procurements emphasize firm pricing locked at bid opening or award, FOB destination delivery with vendor-paid freight, local-vendor preferences (Lake County, Dougherty County, City of Dallas), Davis-Bacon and Section 3 compliance in HUD-assisted housing (City of Pembroke Pines), E-Verify registration, insurance and background-check requirements, and performance standards enforceable through weekly inspections or on-time fill ratios. School districts dominate volume in consumables (paper, chemicals, liners) and equipment (scrubbers, extractors, vacuums); municipalities and special districts pursue both supplies and services. Cooperative purchasing and piggyback clauses appear frequently, expanding addressable geography per single award.
