NIGP 49305: Airborne Bacteria and Virus Inactivation Equipment, Ozone Type

NIGP 49305 Airborne Bacteria And Virus Inactivation Equipment, Ozone Type is an Item code that encompasses commercial-grade ozone generation and application equipment used by state and local governments for disinfection and sanitation operations, particularly in educational and health-care settings. State and local governments buy this equipment primarily for facility maintenance, janitorial operations, and infection control — the recent solicitation activity shows school systems and county health departments acquiring ozone-based cleaning caddies, power units, and related sanitization apparatus for restroom cleaning, laboratory environments, and public health operations. Issuing bodies include independent school districts and county school systems pursuing equipment purchases and county public health departments evaluating lab management infrastructure. The procurement approach varies from direct equipment RFPs for specific aqueous-ozone caddies to broader multi-category instructional and equipment solicitations that include ozone inactivation technology as part of a larger janitorial and maintenance supply portfolio.

Recent activity is concentrated in Texas and Georgia. Barrow County School System in Georgia issued an RFP in April 2026 for twenty-three aqueous-ozone power caddies or equivalent units for restroom cleaning operations, with a May 1, 2026 response deadline and a thirty-six-month warranty requirement. Klein Independent School District in Harris County, Texas posted a broader Career Technical Education and Advanced Academics RFP (RFP #26-101) on April 17, 2026 with a June 5, 2026 deadline that includes janitorial and maintenance equipment across multiple categories; the district does not implement set-asides but encourages HUB, MWBE, and SBE participation and requires Texas business licensing, $1,000,000 minimum insurance coverage, and background check compliance. Santa Clara County in California posted a Request for Information on April 7, 2026 for a lab information management system replacement with an April 22, 2026 response deadline, which may signal downstream purchasing of laboratory disinfection equipment. The code sees episodic rather than continuous activity; most recent solicitations are structured as one-time equipment purchases or bundled facility-maintenance procurements rather than standing-supply or service agreements.
