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

NIGP 93688 Upholstery and Drapery Maintenance and Repair (Including Cleaning), an Item code, encompasses routine cleaning, spot treatment, fabric protection application, and periodic deep cleaning of upholstered furniture and rugs in public facilities — work driven primarily by janitorial service contracts at state and local government buildings. State and local governments procure this work embedded within broader facility maintenance and cleaning operations: county janitorial services for multi-department facilities, DMV field office after-hours cleaning, correctional facility maintenance, library upholstery care, and specialized service lines such as school bus upholstery repair and replacement. The work spans routine vacuuming and spot cleaning of cloth upholstery and synthetic-covered furniture on-site during facility closures, application of fabric protectors and deodorizers, and periodic deep cleaning and extraction. Issuing bodies include state departments (California Department of Motor Vehicles, California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, California Department of Veterans Affairs), counties (Orange County, Fairfax County, Virginia), cities (Houston), and special-purpose state facilities. California state agencies represent a dominant share of recent activity, particularly the DMV, which has posted multiple small-business-set-aside janitorial solicitations since early 2026.

Recent opportunities cluster in California and Virginia. The California Department of Motor Vehicles has issued at least six separate janitorial service solicitations between January and July 2026 for DMV field offices in Pleasanton, Lake Isabella, Grass Valley, Arleta, Riverside, and Los Gatos, with estimated 36-month contract values ranging from $57,600 to $157,644, all restricted to certified small businesses and all subject to prevailing wage, Displaced Janitor Opportunity Act, and Property Service Workers Protection Act compliance. The County of Orange (California) issued RFP-017-2988904-JC on July 17, 2026, for countywide janitorial services across multiple county departments and facilities with a five-year term and a response deadline of October 27, 2026, requiring mandatory attendance at seven job walks and prevailing wage compliance under California Labor Code Section 1773. Fairfax County, Virginia posted an IFB on June 12, 2026 for school bus upholstery repair, replacement, supplies, and labor with a response deadline of July 6, 2026. The City of Houston issued a rebid on April 30, 2026 for upholstery and rug cleaning across 11 library locations with a May 5, 2026 deadline. The State of California Department of Veterans Affairs solicited laundry services (which includes specialty item cleaning such as curtains and mopheads) via IFB 26VS0005 on April 14, 2026 with an April 29, 2026 deadline, a three-year term from July 1, 2026, and a five percent DVBE participation goal. The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation posted IFB #SD25-00021 on March 26, 2026 for janitorial services at the Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility in San Diego with an April 24, 2026 deadline.
