NIGP 85012: Blankets, Bedding, All Types

NIGP 85012 Blankets, Bedding, All Types is an Item code under which state and local governments procure institutional bedding, blankets, towels, and laundry items for correctional and custodial facilities. Recent activity shows Georgia agencies buying suicide-resistant blankets and smocks for detention facilities, as well as standard bedding, laundry supplies, and towels for multi-facility institutional operations. The issuing bodies are state-level agencies—the Georgia Department of Juvenile Justice and Barrow County operating under state authority—both serving correctional or detention custody operations. Vendors responding to these solicitations include national institutional-supply firms such as Bob Barker Company and Charm Tex Inc, as well as smaller regional suppliers, with minimal indication of set-aside or preference designations in the available materials.

Georgia dominates the recent opportunity sample. The State of Georgia's Department of Juvenile Justice issued an open agency contract RFQ for bedding, laundry items, and towels to support twenty-five facilities statewide with a due date of March 2, 2026, ultimately awarding $95,330.00 to Victory Supply LLC after thirteen bids were submitted; Bob Barker Company and Charm Tex Inc were among the unsuccessful respondents. Barrow County, Georgia posted a competitive solicitation (46700GDC0001193) on February 13, 2026 for suicide blankets and suicide smocks with a response deadline of February 23, 2026, establishing a one-year contract with up to four one-year renewal options, with F.O.B. delivery to the Milledgeville care and custody facility. No budget values were disclosed in the Barrow County solicitation. Activity under this code appears concentrated in detention and correctional institutional procurement.
