NIGP 85072: Shower Curtain, Synthetic

NIGP 85072 Shower Curtain, Synthetic is an Item code covering heavy-duty vinyl and fabric shower curtains for public-sector facilities, with state and local demand driven primarily by correctional and behavioral health institutions procuring security-grade, ligature-resistant products. The scope includes multi-ply vinyl curtains (typically 8 oz, 3-ply construction) with antimicrobial properties in multiple sizes, flame-retardant fabric options meeting NFPA 101 Life Safety Code specifications, and specialized non-ligature designs engineered to prevent harm in high-security environments. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code are predominantly state health and corrections authorities and county facilities departments; the Oregon Health Authority at Oregon State Hospital and Clay County Board of County Commissioners are the named recent buyers in the available activity.

Oregon posted an Invitation to Bid (ITB S-44300-00017510) on October 6, 2026 for various sized non-ligature shower curtains at Oregon State Hospital, with bids due October 27, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. Pacific Time; the scope specifies five security vinyl sizes and one fabric option, with a five-year initial Price Agreement term and renewal options extending to ten years total, and includes Oregon Supplies and Services preference (10% price reduction for goods fabricated or processed entirely in Oregon per ORS 279A.128). Clay County in Florida (Orange Park) posted Fire Station 17 Bathroom Renovation (IFB #25/26-098) in August 2026 with a mandatory pre-bid meeting, though this solicitation encompasses broader renovation work including shower installation rather than curtain procurement alone. Recent activity is concentrated in Oregon and Florida; the source does not support broader geographic characterization.
