NIGP 95256 Housekeeping Services, an Item code, encompasses janitorial cleaning and professional organizing services that state and local governments buy for facility maintenance and resident-support operations. Recent solicitations show two distinct work streams: routine janitorial services covering break rooms, restrooms, floors, furniture, and private offices on a recurring weekly schedule, and specialized organizing, packing, inventory, and cleanout services for resident transitions and unit turnover in multifamily housing. The issuing bodies include city Parks, Recreation, and Culture departments and public housing authorities, reflecting dual demand from municipal facility management and social-housing operations.
