NIGP 65275: Shaving Supplies: Soaps, Brushes, Creams, Lathers, Lotions, etc.

NIGP 65275 Shaving Supplies: Soaps, Brushes, Creams, Lathers, Lotions, Etc., an Item code, covers personal hygiene and grooming products that state and local governments procure for direct consumption and resale. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers sourcing shaving cream, antiperspirant deodorant, toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner, dental floss, hairbrushes, and antibacterial bar soap in bulk quantities. The issuing-body mix includes county purchasing divisions, state criminal-justice departments, and statewide procurement offices acting as centralized buying agents. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners appear as recent active buyers under this code, with the Texas procurement serving the Department of Criminal Justice's Prison Commissaries Division as the end customer. These transactions range from informal written quotes for smaller county orders to statewide invitation-for-bids processes supporting multi-location distribution and resale operations.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia and Texas, where recent opportunities posted in June and October 2026 reflect ongoing demand. The Texas Comptroller issued Invitation for Bid 304T-26-652A1.3 for personal hygiene and grooming products, including shaving cream (690 cases), hairbrushes (172 cases), antiperspirant deodorant, and antibacterial bar soap (2,000 cases) with delivery to five primary locations across Texas and an initial contract term through August 31, 2027, with two renewal options extending through August 31, 2029. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners posted informal written quotes (IWQ 140255) for household items including shaving supplies, antiperspirant deodorant (36 cases), toothbrushes and toothpaste (36 cases combined), and shampoo and conditioner (60 cases) with a response deadline of October 20, 2026 and delivery by December 7, 2026 to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center. Both solicitations emphasize firm, fixed pricing inclusive of delivery, sample submissions, product specifications with active-ingredient requirements, and bar-coding or labeling compliance where applicable.
