NIGP 85017: Chemicals and Dyes, Textile

NIGP 85017 Chemicals and Dyes, Textile, an Item code, covers specialty chemicals and dye products used in textile manufacturing and finishing operations by state and local government agencies. State and local governments procure under this code primarily for institutional textile processing — including dyes, bleaches, fixatives, and treatment chemicals used in laundries, uniforms programs, and facility maintenance operations at state agencies, county institutions, and municipal facilities. The scope extends to chemicals that support fabric care, colorfastness, and wear performance in high-volume institutional settings. Purchasing bodies include state departments of corrections and health, county detention facilities, municipal public works departments, and school districts operating their own laundry operations or uniform programs.

The source contains no recent state and local contract opportunities posted under NIGP 85017. Without posted solicitations, the geographic spread and current activity level cannot be determined from available records. Firms tracking this code should monitor state purchasing portals and cooperative purchasing platforms for institutional laundry and textile-treatment chemical solicitations, as activity may be episodic or consolidated into multi-year standing contracts with periodic amendments rather than frequent individual RFPs or RFQs.
