NIGP 50525: Chlorine and Peroxygen Bleaches

NIGP 50525 Chlorine and Peroxygen Bleaches, an Item code, covers the procurement of chemical sanitizers and disinfectants that state and local governments buy for water treatment, facilities maintenance, janitorial operations, and food service. Recent solicitations show municipalities, counties, school districts, and special-purpose cooperatives purchasing chlorine tablets, bleach products, and related chemical supplies as consumables on blanket purchase order and as-needed bases, often bundled within broader MRO or janitorial supply categories. The City of Milpitas, Hillsborough County, the Georgia Educational Cooperative, and the City of Dallas have all posted opportunities in the past four months; the work typically involves authorized distributor relationships, compliance with product specifications and packaging standards, and delivery coordination to multiple operational sites within the issuing jurisdiction.

Activity clusters in California, Florida, Georgia, and Texas, with bleach and chlorine products appearing both as standalone line items in water-utility procurement and as components within larger janitorial and operational supply blanket purchases. The City of Milpitas issued IFB 26229 due August 4, 2026 for five-year blanket purchase orders across five MRO supply categories including custodial cleaning products and chemicals, with a local purchasing preference and California prevailing-wage requirements; Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners posted ITB 26-00319 due July 24, 2026 for janitorial and operational supplies to support 47 fire stations, estimated at $765,679.84 for one year; the Georgia Educational Cooperative solicited food service disposable and chemical products for 14 school districts statewide via PE55396NONST2026000000005 due June 11, 2026; and the City of Dallas Water/Material Services Division issued an Informal Solicitation for chlorine tabs due May 19, 2026 via the Bonfire Hub portal, specifying new, unopened products and FOB delivery to its facility on Harry Hines Boulevard.
