UNSPSC 12181500: Waxes

UNSPSC 12181500 Waxes is a Class code covering floor maintenance products, specifically laminate and hard-surface floor waxes and finishes that school districts and municipal facilities procure for routine custodial and maintenance operations. State and local governments buy these products on an as-needed basis to maintain appearance and slip-resistance on institutional floors. School districts are the primary buyers under this code, issuing competitive solicitations for branded products with specific performance metrics including static coefficient of friction, coverage rates, and stability testing requirements.

Clayton County Public Schools (CCPS) in Georgia is the only repeat buyer visible in recent activity, having posted two nearly identical Invitations for Bid (IFB 01126 and IFB 011-26) on May 21, 2026, both due July 8, 2026, for Spartan Millennia Bright Dura Gloss Laminate Floor Wax. CCPS specified an estimated annual volume of 2,500 five-gallon pails delivered F.O.B. Destination, with a one-year initial term and two optional one-year renewals. The district applied a 15 percent Small Local Business Enterprise contracting goal and required a pre-bid conference on June 4, 2026. A third recent opportunity—the City of Pembroke Pines, Florida floor-grinding solicitation (PSPW26QQ01) posted March 30, 2026—appears unrelated to wax products and likely was miscoded; it addresses floor preparation prior to finish application rather than the finish itself. Georgia and Florida are the states showing recent activity, though the data set is limited. Bidders under the CCPS solicitations must maintain $1,000,000 comprehensive general liability and automobile liability coverage, hold current Georgia business licenses, comply with E-Verify, and submit bids through the Bonfire online portal.
