NIGP 48678: Rug and Carpet Shampoo and Spot Remover (Including Deodorizers), Environmentally Certified Products

NIGP 48678 Rug and Carpet Shampoo and Spot Remover (Including Deodorizers), Environmentally Certified Products is an Item code under which state and local governments procure carpet cleaning chemicals, spot removers, and related cleaning supplies as line items within larger custodial or facilities-maintenance solicitations, as well as standalone carpet cleaning and maintenance services that incorporate these products. The work state and local jurisdictions actually buy spans two distinct paths: purchase of chemical products themselves (shampoos, spot removers, deodorizers meeting environmental certification standards) bundled with other cleaning supplies in warehouse-stocking RFBs and RFPs, and procurement of carpet cleaning services that specify environmentally certified or Green Seal–compliant chemical standards as a performance requirement. Issuing bodies include school districts, municipal water districts, and public housing authorities seeking both inventory replenishment and recurring professional carpet maintenance.

The School Board of Pinellas County, Florida posted IFB #25-JG-072 in September 2026 with a December 2, 2025 response deadline for comprehensive custodial supplies including carpet shampoos and spot removers across 102 line items, valued at approximately $900,000 annually; the Eastern Municipal Water District (EMWD) in Riverside County, California solicited carpet cleaning and maintenance services through RFP 3935 posted May 5, 2026 with response due June 3, 2026, requiring Green Seal or CRI Seal of Approval chemical compliance across 97,478 square feet at three Perris facilities over a five-year term commencing July 1, 2026. Recent activity concentrates in Florida and California, with secondary opportunities in Wisconsin. The Pinellas County procurement requires Safety Data Sheets for all chemical items and firm pricing throughout the contract period; the EMWD RFP mandates monthly or quarterly scheduled maintenance with 24/7 emergency extraction capability and a four-hour on-site response requirement, with a mandatory pre-proposal conference held May 20, 2026. Contractors pursuing these opportunities must demonstrate compliance with state wage, environmental, and insurance requirements specific to each issuing body.
