NIGP 93688: Upholstery and Drapery Maintenance and Repair (Including Cleaning)

NIGP 93688 Upholstery and Drapery Maintenance and Repair (Including Cleaning), an Item code, encompasses specialized fabric and upholstery cleaning, repair, and maintenance services that state and local governments procure for facility furnishings, public seating, vehicle interiors, and soft-goods assets. Recent solicitations show primary activity in janitorial and facility-support contracts where upholstery cleaning is bundled with broader housekeeping services, along with standalone upholstery repair and cleaning work for vehicles and library furnishings. The California Department of Motor Vehicles has posted multiple small-business-set-aside janitorial bids covering after-hours cleaning at field offices that include high-touch surface disinfection and facility maintenance; the County of Orange is soliciting countywide janitorial services including general facility cleaning alongside specialized tasks; and the City of Houston is procuring upholstery and rug cleaning specifically across 11 library locations. Fairfax County, Virginia has twice posted solicitations for school bus upholstery repair, replacement, and labor services. The issuing-body mix spans state departments (California DMV and Department of General Services), county governments (Orange County, Fairfax County), city procurement offices (Houston, Columbus), and special-purpose or administrative agencies. California Department of General Services is also developing a statewide Master Service Agreement for janitorial services to be available for voluntary adoption by all California state and local agencies, including school districts and community colleges.

California dominates recent activity under this code, with nine of ten solicitations originating from California state agencies or local jurisdictions. The California Department of Motor Vehicles has issued six small-business-set-aside janitorial bids posted between June and August 2026 — covering Los Gatos (estimated $282,600 over 36 months, bids due July 21), Riverside (estimated $57,600 over 36 months, bids due June 30), Colusa (estimated $87,480 over 36 months, bids due September 1), Reedley (estimated $195,912 over 36 months, bids due August 27), and San Mateo (estimated $126,360 over 36 months, bids due August 27) — all restricted to Certified Small Business vendors and subject to mandatory pre-bid conferences and California wage/labor-code compliance. The County of Orange posted RFP 017-2988904-JC for countywide janitorial services with proposals due October 27, 2026, requiring attendance at all seven mandatory job walks and compliance with California prevailing-wage requirements and the Displaced Janitor Opportunity Act. The City of Houston issued a rebid for upholstery and rug cleaning at 11 libraries with submission due May 5, 2026. Fairfax County, Virginia posted IFB 2000004351 (due July 6, 2026) and IFB 2000004431 (due August 14, 2026) for school bus upholstery repair and replacement services. California's statewide RFI for janitorial services (posted September 9, 2026, responses due September 23) signals future mandatory-compliance procurement opportunity across state facilities with optional adoption by local and educational agencies statewide.
