NIGP 51088: Recycled Laundry Textiles and Supplies

NIGP 51088 Recycled Laundry Textiles and Supplies, an Item code, covers the procurement of reconditioned or recycled textiles used in laundry operations—including repurposed linens, uniforms, work clothes, and related supplies derived from recovered materials. State and local governments buy under this code when seeking cost-effective or environmentally sustainable alternatives to new textile inventories for facilities with high-volume laundry demands, such as correctional institutions, hospitals, universities, and municipal maintenance operations. The code draws issuing bodies across departments managing institutional laundry operations and facilities where textile reuse aligns with sustainability or budget objectives.

No recent state or local solicitations under NIGP 51088 appear in the available procurement records. Activity under this Item code remains limited in the current market cycle, suggesting either sustained inventory from prior procurements, limited buyer demand for recycled laundry textiles, or sourcing through blanket orders or cooperative purchasing agreements rather than open competitive notices.
