UNSPSC 14111700: Personal paper products

UNSPSC 14111700 Personal paper products, a Class code, spans the consumable paper goods state and local governments procure for facility operations, food service, and institutional use — primarily toilet tissue, paper towels, roll towels, bath tissue, and related disposable paper supplies. The code sees steady activity across state agencies, counties, cities, school districts, and special-purpose districts, with school nutrition programs and corrections facilities representing particularly active buyer segments. Recent solicitations reflect the commodity nature of the market: jurisdictions typically issue ITBs or RFPs on annual or multi-year cycles, often with firm fixed pricing, minimal customization, and straightforward delivery-to-warehouse or site logistics.

The geographic spread covers the full U.S., with recent activity concentrated in California, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Ohio, Texas, and Wisconsin. Representative opportunities include the University of Mississippi's sealed bid for GP EnMotion paper towels and coreless tissue (ITB, response due July 16, 2026); Hillsborough County Fire Rescue's competitive sealed bid for consumable janitorial and operational supplies estimated at $765,679.84 for one year (ITB-26-00319, due July 24, 2026); Meriden Public Schools' RFP for food service paper goods and disposable products at approximately $210,000 for the 2026–2027 school year (RFP 027-04, due July 16, 2026); Cook County Government's IFB for paper towels and toilet tissue across 17 delivery locations on a three-year term with optional two-year renewal (due March 18, 2026); and Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's catalog discount RFP for custodial supplies serving multiple member entities across Texas with estimated total expenditures of $12,638,478 (due May 26, 2026). Buyers frequently seek brand equivalents, enforce FOB Destination pricing inclusive of freight, require firm pricing for at least the first contract year, and leverage cooperative purchasing agreements. School districts and county corrections facilities dominate the pipeline.
