UNSPSC 14111704: Toilet tissue

UNSPSC 14111704 Toilet tissue is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of rolled bathroom tissue in standard and jumbo configurations, typically specified by ply count, sheet dimensions, roll count per case, and delivery logistics. State and local governments are actively soliciting toilet tissue as a standalone commodity and as part of broader janitorial or custodial supply bundles, with issuing bodies spanning state corrections departments, county jails and sheriff facilities, school districts, universities, and municipal departments. The code sees substantial activity: California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) issued six regional small-business-set-aside RFQs in June 2026 for paper towels and toilet paper across Regions 1–6, each with July 10, 2026 response deadlines and award authority capped at $249,999.99 per region. Ohio has posted multiple toilet tissue and bathroom tissue solicitations (bid numbers 6962, 6964, and others) with very short response windows (one to four days). Forsyth County Schools, Georgia solicited Sofidel Heavenly Soft jumbo rolls (B26-03) with a February 25, 2026 deadline and estimated annual volume of 6,000 cases. Milwaukee County, Wisconsin issued ITBs for both standard 2-ply rolls (1,200–1,500 cases annually) and jumbo rolls (3.3" × 1,000' format) for correctional facilities with April 2026 deadlines. Ohio Sheriff's Corrections Center posted a three-year contract for Right Choice brand 2-ply tissue (1,680 cases per year) with a July 1, 2026 bid deadline.

The geographic spread is nationwide, with concentrated recent activity in California (CDCR regional procurements), Ohio (multiple correctional and general-use solicitations), Georgia (school districts), Texas (school districts and transit authority), Wisconsin (Milwaukee County), and Florida (Marion County Schools). State corrections and detention facilities are the dominant use case, followed by school districts and municipal warehouses. Pricing is typically firm F.O.B. destination with freight prepaid and included in unit cost, and contract terms range from single-year to three-year base periods with optional renewals. Delivery windows are consistently ten calendar days or faster. Set-asides appear in California (small-business-only regional RFQs), and Cook County, Illinois established MBE/WBE participation goals. The code shows no sign of supply constraints; bidding is open and competitive across most jurisdictions, though a handful of Ohio solicitations lack sufficient detail in the source material to determine scope. Vendors should expect specification calls for branded products (Right Choice, Sofidel, Tork) with equivalents permitted when they meet sheet count, ply, and dimensional requirements, and should be prepared to deliver in high volume to multiple facilities on short notice.
