NIGP 85064: Sheets and Pillow Cases

NIGP 85064 Sheets and Pillow Cases, an Item code, covers textiles for institutional use — specifically bed linens, pillowcases, and related items supplied to correctional facilities, military training centers, and other government-operated lodging and housing operations. Recent state and local solicitations show demand for lightweight poly/cotton blended percale flat sheets, quilted mattress covers with attached sheets, standard pillowcases, bath towels, and washcloths sourced on firm-price contracts with weekly or as-needed delivery schedules. Issuing bodies include county detention centers and state military affairs departments; both operate linen services on competitive-bid cycles with multi-year renewal options and relatively modest annual expenditure targets ($50,000 estimated for one three-year contract).

Recent activity centers on Georgia and Florida. Chatham County, Georgia posted an ITB in August 2026 (due September 15, 2026) for annual inmate supplies including 400 dozen flat sheets and 4,800 units of quilted mattress covers, with a 30% combined M/WBE participation goal and a one-year base term plus four renewal options; the scope requires firm pricing for 60 days, minimum stock levels of 20% of annual requirements, three references with similar service experience, and F.O.B. delivery to Savannah. The Florida Department of Military Affairs solicited linen services for Camp Blanding Joint Training Center in Starke under ITB DMA-ITB-355 (bid due September 17, 2026) for pillowcases, sheets in multiple sizes, bath towels, washcloths, and rubber-backed mats on a three-year term with estimated annual spend of approximately $50,000; the contract requires weekly Monday and Thursday deliveries by 1:00 PM, general liability insurance of at least $100,000 per person and $300,000 per occurrence, E-Verify compliance, and a mandatory pre-bid site visit on August 26, 2026.
