UNSPSC 12181501: Synthetic waxes

UNSPSC 12181501 Synthetic waxes is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure floor maintenance products, specifically high-performance laminate floor waxes for institutional facilities. Recent solicitations show school districts buying branded synthetic floor wax products in bulk on an as-needed basis, with performance tied to slip-resistance standards (static coefficient of friction per ASTM D2047), coverage capacity per unit volume, and long-term stability specifications. The issuing bodies are primarily large school districts with extensive facility portfolios; Clayton County Public Schools in Georgia has been the recent active buyer under this code, seeking annual supplies of approximately 2,500 five-gallon pails for district-wide custodial use across multiple school locations.

Clayton County Public Schools issued IFB01126 on May 21, 2026, to procure Spartan Millennia Bright Dura Gloss Laminate Floor Wax, with bids due July 8, 2026. The solicitation required products meeting specific performance standards including stability at 24 degrees Celsius for one year minimum, coverage of up to 3,000 square feet per five-gallon pail, and a static coefficient of friction of at least 0.5 per ASTM D2047, supplied in new, sealed pails on an F.O.B. Destination basis. A non-mandatory pre-bid conference was held June 4, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. EST via Zoom, with questions due June 11, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. EST. The contract included a one-year initial term with two successive one-year renewal options, and CCPS applied a 15 percent Small Local Business Enterprise (SLBE) contracting goal requiring bidders to demonstrate participation or document good faith efforts to comply. Bidders were required to maintain $1,000,000 in comprehensive general liability and automobile liability coverage, hold current business licenses, and provide proof of E-Verify enrollment and SLBE certification where applicable.
