UNSPSC 27112903: Hand sprayers

UNSPSC 27112903 Hand sprayers is a Commodity code encompassing portable spraying equipment procured by state and local education and facilities-management agencies. Northside Independent School District (NISD) in San Antonio, Texas, the fourth-largest public school system in Texas, recently solicited custodial equipment including hand sprayers through RFP 2026-049 to supply 83 elementary schools, 21 middle schools, 13 high schools, 11 magnet schools and programs, 4 special schools, and 15 support sites across Bexar County on an as-needed basis. School districts represent the primary issuing bodies under this code; custodial and grounds-maintenance operations across K–12 systems drive recurring demand for sprayers and related portable application equipment. NISD's procurement signals the kinds of work state and local buyers actually execute under this code: firm-fixed-price supply contracts for consumable and durable custodial gear, with vendors evaluated on price (30%), quality (15%), extent to which offerings meet operational needs (25%), long-term total cost (10%), and reputation, past relationships, and other factors (20% combined). Payment terms are net 30 days; proposals must include cost of shipping to the buyer's location, current Safety Data Sheets for chemical products, and complete manufacturer specification sheets for any proposed alternates.

Texas is a current market under the code. NISD's RFP 2026-049 closed March 26, 2026, and awards made under this contract will be valid for one year with NISD retaining exclusive renewal options for two additional one-year terms plus a potential 90-day transitional period. The RFP explicitly replaces the prior custodial-equipment contract (RFP 2025-054, expiring May 31, 2026), and NISD has signaled that vendors failing to respond to the new RFP risk losing future business. No minimum purchase volumes are guaranteed; NISD reserves the right to award to a single vendor, multiple suppliers, or on a line-item basis. The solicitation carries no stated set-aside restrictions or budget ceiling.
