UNSPSC 14111700: Personal paper products

UNSPSC 14111700 Personal paper products is a Class code encompassing toilet tissue, paper towels, facial tissue, and related disposable hygiene and sanitation items that state and local governments procure for facilities operations, schools, detention centers, transit systems, and emergency services. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing these products both as standalone commodity buys and as part of broader janitorial or operational-supply contracts. School districts represent the largest category of issuing bodies, followed by county detention facilities, city transit authorities, municipal departments, and state correctional facilities. Representative recent solicitations include Lake County Schools District in Florida (ITB 26-0803-B-TF969, bids due August 24, 2026) for approximately $540,250 in disposable paper products including 8,500 cases of single-fold paper towels, 2,500 cases of toilet tissue, and 1,800 cases of multi-fold towels; the City of Tampa (Solicitation 27P00004, bids due November 2, 2026) for paper towels and toilet paper under a Small Local Business Enterprise set-aside; and the Ohio Sheriff's Corrections Center (Solicitations 7033 and 7106, bids due June 26 and July 1, 2026) for 1,680 cases annually of toilet tissue on a three-year supply contract. The code also captures food-service paper goods: Meriden Public Schools (RFP 027-04, proposals due July 16, 2026) sought approximately $210,000 in food service paper goods and disposables for 13 school sites.
