NIGP 85072: Shower Curtain, Synthetic

NIGP 85072 Shower Curtain, Synthetic is an Item code under which state and local governments procure replacement and bulk shower curtains for correctional facilities, detention centers, hospitals, dormitories, and other institutional settings. The work involves supply and delivery of synthetic shower curtains meeting institutional durability and hygiene standards, typically vinyl or polyester formulations resistant to mildew and standard institutional washing cycles. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code span state departments of corrections, county jail systems, municipal public-health agencies, state university systems, and regional detention authorities. The code sees regular procurement activity from facilities management offices seeking standardized replacements and bulk-order inventory replenishment.

No recent state and local contract opportunities under NIGP 85072 appear in the current procurement record. This indicates either sparse recent solicitation activity under this specific item code or a preference among issuing bodies for standing cooperative purchasing agreements or blanket orders through established vendors rather than open competitive RFPs, RFQs, or ITBs. Practitioners should monitor state purchasing cooperative catalogs and correctional-system procurement offices for tender activity or cooperative-purchasing add-ons targeting this commodity.
