NIGP 88546: Counteractant and Degreaser, Odor

NIGP 88546 Counteractant And Degreaser, Odor is an Item code under which state and local governments procure cleaning agents and water treatment chemicals for municipal operations, facilities maintenance, and public infrastructure. The code encompasses both specialty degreasers for asphalt and surface cleaning, and industrial-grade treatment compounds for water systems, with vendors typically supplying products in bulk quantities (drums, tankers, or line-item basis) to multiple delivery locations and departments within a single jurisdiction. Issuing bodies include city purchasing departments and municipal utilities, with both examples drawn from mid-sized Florida and Georgia municipalities managing ongoing operational and maintenance needs.

Recent activity centers on the Southeast, with the City of Tampa, Florida posting RFQ 26-P-00455 on July 14, 2026 for 12 drums of 55-gallon asphalt cleaning agent (Big Orange with surfactants) due July 23, 2026, requiring five-business-day delivery and E-Verify compliance, and the City of Griffin, Georgia issuing ITB #26-008 on April 29, 2026 for fiscal year 2027 water treatment chemicals—including sodium hydroxide, liquid chlorine, aluminum sulfate, activated carbon, and polymers—due May 28, 2026, with NSF 60 approval required and 72-hour delivery mandated to six treatment facilities. Both solicitations award on a line-item, lowest-responsive-responsible-bidder basis and require FOB pricing with vendor responsibility for freight and off-loading; neither specifies set-asides or budget ceilings.
