NIGP 91039: Janitorial/Custodial Services

NIGP 91039 Janitorial/Custodial Services is an Item code covering routine and specialized cleaning services that state and local governments procure across administrative offices, detention facilities, schools, transit centers, maintenance yards, parks, and specialized environments. County governments, state departments, cities, school districts, and special-purpose agencies issue solicitations under this code regularly, with Orange County (California), Michigan, Colorado, Georgia counties, Texas agencies, and Illinois state facilities appearing as repeat buyers in recent postings. State and local bodies are actively soliciting janitorial services through RFPs, RFQs, ITBs, and IFBs; representative recent opportunities include the County of Orange's countywide janitorial services RFP (RFP-017-2988904-JC, proposals due October 27, 2026) spanning multiple county departments with mandatory job walks and five-year terms; Douglas County, Georgia's janitorial services RFP across Parks and Recreation, Fire/EMS, administrative buildings, and the courthouse (proposals due August 25, 2026, with local-vendor preferences); and the State of Michigan's statewide janitorial services RFP across ten Prosperity Regions (RFP 260000002197, proposals due August 6, 2026) with Community Rehabilitation Organization set-asides and tiered evaluation scoring 80 points minimum for best-value award. Services procured include routine daily cleaning, restroom sanitation, floor care (sweeping, mopping, stripping, waxing, carpet extraction), trash and recycling removal, high-touch surface disinfection, and periodic deep cleaning.

Recent activity spans California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Maine, Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska, New Mexico, Texas, and other states, with dense recent postings in the Southeast (Georgia counties, Florida municipalities) and Midwest (Illinois, Michigan, Missouri). School districts such as Fontana Unified School District (California) procure supplies and equipment under related Item codes; prevailing wage requirements, security clearances for detention facilities, Green Seal or EPA environmental standards compliance, and Section 3 or HUD compliance frequently appear as contract conditions. Bonds, performance guarantees, and liability insurance of $1 million per occurrence are standard requirements. Contract terms typically run one to five years with optional renewals, and compensation structures vary—some use per-square-foot or per-month fixed pricing, while others employ cost-plus or hourly labor billing. Set-asides for small businesses (California), disabled veteran-owned businesses, and state use vendors (Illinois) are common; prevailing wage applies in union states and HUD-funded projects. Early-August 2026 deadlines dominate recent postings, with several July 22–24 closing dates already passed or imminent as of today's date.
