NIGP 50005: Dry Cleaning Plants, Petroleum Solvent

NIGP 50005 Dry Cleaning Plants, Petroleum Solvent, an Item code, covers procurement of dry cleaning services using petroleum-based solvents — chemical-grade cleaning operations distinct from wet-wash laundry or water-based garment processing. State and local governments use this code to solicit contracts for industrial-scale cleaning of uniforms, protective gear, specialized textiles, and contaminated workwear for law enforcement, fire departments, public works crews, and hazardous-materials response teams. The work typically includes receiving, sorting, cleaning in petroleum solvent systems, pressing, quality inspection, and return logistics. Issuing bodies for this code span state departments of corrections, state police, county sheriffs' offices, municipal fire departments, and city public safety agencies; school districts and transit authorities occasionally use the code for specialized uniform cleaning when in-house capacity is unavailable or regulatory requirements demand commercial solvent-based treatment.

The source provides no recent state or local contract opportunities under NIGP 50005, preventing characterization of current geographic concentration or representative solicitations by issuing body, notice type, or response date.
