NIGP 65243: Hair Care Accessories: Bands, Curlers, Nets, Pins, Rollers, etc.

NIGP 65243 Hair Care Accessories: Bands, Curlers, Nets, Pins, Rollers, Etc. is an Item code under which state and local governments procure primarily hairnets and related food-service hair containment supplies for institutional food operations. Recent solicitations show Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Fulton County, Georgia issuing notices for these goods and related services. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted two separate IFBs for consumable foods and supplies at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center, each naming hairnets as line items within broader food-service supply packages. Fulton County is simultaneously soliciting cosmetology, barbering, and nail-technology services on-site at senior facilities, a revenue-neutral engagement in which vendors generate client fees to offset County costs. The scope across these notices reflects dual purchasing streams: institutional procurement of disposable hairnets bundled with food supplies, and professional aesthetic services delivered at county facilities.

The recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission's Lufkin State Supported Living Center solicitations (HHS0018082, due October 23, 2026, and HHS0017872, due August 25, 2026, both IFBs) require F.O.B. Destination delivery within seven days of order, three verifiable references, and compliance with E-Verify, suspension-and-debarment certification, and human-trafficking prohibitions. Fulton County's cosmetology-services ITB (26ITB1691317A-JWT, due November 10, 2026) mandates current Georgia state licensure in cosmetology, barbering, or nail technology and vendor-supplied equipment and supplies. Both issuing bodies enforce rigorous compliance frameworks, with the Texas HHS requiring 90-day product guarantees, 72-hour problem notifications, and vendor reimbursement for investigation costs and non-specification shipments.
