NIGP 510: Laundry Textiles and Supplies

NIGP 510 Laundry Textiles And Supplies, a Class code, encompasses specialized textiles and related supplies procured by state and local governments for institutional and operational use. State and local agencies soliciting under this code are buying ligature-resistant shower curtains meeting rigorous safety and flame-retardant specifications, as well as broader maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) supplies that include laundry-related textiles as part of larger facility-support contracts. The issuing bodies include state health authorities, city governments, and municipalities across multiple regions. The State of Oregon Health Authority at Oregon State Hospital and the City of Tucson represent recent active buyers, with Oregon's procurement reflecting specialized security and health-care facility needs and Tucson's reflecting a broader institutional supply strategy through cooperative purchasing vehicles.

The State of Oregon issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB S-44300-00017510) for non-ligature shower curtains in security-grade vinyl and flame-retardant polyester, with bids due October 27, 2026, and delivery to Salem and Junction City. The contract offers a five-year initial term with renewal options extending to ten years total and applies an Oregon Supplies and Services preference providing a 10% price reduction for in-state fabrication under ORS 279A.128. The City of Tucson posted a Request for Proposal (#240078) for comprehensive MRO supplies spanning 25 product categories with over 1,995 line items, including textiles alongside cleaning, electrical, and plumbing supplies, with proposals due March 28, 2024, and an estimated annual contract volume of approximately $250 million; the procurement incorporates Section 3 labor compliance, Buy America provisions, and federal DBE participation guidelines. Recent activity concentrates in Oregon and Arizona, with secondary activity in Kentucky, Florida, and California reflecting diverse state and local procurement patterns across health care, municipal operations, and specialized-facility management.
