NIGP 49014: Cleaners, Ultrasonic

NIGP 49014 Cleaners, Ultrasonic, an Item code, covers ultrasonic cleaning equipment and related apparatus that state and local governments procure for maintenance, decontamination, and precision-cleaning applications across facilities and operations. The code captures both standalone ultrasonic cleaning units and integrated systems used in laboratories, medical facilities, manufacturing environments, and general maintenance shops. State and local issuing bodies — including state departments, counties, municipalities, school districts, and special-purpose districts — source ultrasonic cleaners through RFPs, RFQs, and ITBs when replacing worn equipment or outfitting new facilities. Purchase drivers include equipment lifecycle replacement, facility expansion, and compliance with cleanliness or sterilization standards in healthcare and laboratory settings.

The source provided contains no recent state and local contract opportunities under this code, limiting visibility into current geographic concentration, repeat buyers, or representative solicitation activity. Without posted RFPs, RFQs, ITBs, or IFBs in the available data, the market signal is unclear; the code may see intermittent or low-volume procurement activity that does not generate frequent public notices, or recent buys may have been completed through existing cooperative purchasing agreements or blanket purchase orders rather than new solicitations.
