UNSPSC 27113000: Brushes

UNSPSC 27113000 Brushes (Class) covers consumable cleaning brushes, brooms, and related hand tools that state and local governments procure as part of comprehensive janitorial supply contracts. Recent solicitations show this code embedded within broader custodial supply and equipment RFPs issued by school districts, county governments, and municipal agencies, where brushes, brooms, and dust mops typically represent a small line-item subset of 80–120-item catalogs that also include cleaning chemicals, paper products, floor care supplies, and protective gear. State and local buyers issue these solicitations as ITBs, RFPs, and catalog-discount RFQs with response dates typically 30–60 days from posting. Issuing bodies span independent school districts (Northside ISD in San Antonio, Pinellas County, Marion County, Polk County, Donna ISD), county school boards (Madison County Georgia, Muscogee County Georgia), county purchasing offices (Hillsborough County Florida, Jackson County Missouri), and municipal procurement departments (City of Newark, New Jersey). School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, reflecting ongoing custodial staffing and facility maintenance at scale across elementary, middle, and high schools.

The geographic spread is concentrated in Texas, Florida, Georgia, and Missouri, with secondary activity in New Jersey. Representative recent opportunities include Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' ITB for janitorial and operational supplies due July 24, 2026 (supporting the Hillsborough County Fire Rescue Department's 47 stations, estimated contract value $765,679.84 for one year); Northside ISD's RFP 2026-071 for custodial supplies due June 4, 2026 (replacing an expiring contract, with failure to respond jeopardizing vendor continuity); Madison County Schools' RFP CSUP 05-26 for custodial supplies due June 2, 2026 (covering eight school facilities, 5,415 students and 621 staff across 787,296 square feet); and Jackson County, Missouri's ITB for janitorial supplies due May 5, 2026 (82 line items, estimated annual value $317,000, firm pricing for six months, incumbent RJ Kool Company/CEP referenced as benchmark). Pinellas County Schools' ITB #25-JG-072 projected approximately $900,000 annual contract value for warehouse-stocked custodial supplies. Pricing in all recent awards remains firm for 12 months or longer; delivery requirements stipulate FOB destination with no fuel surcharges authorized during initial contract terms.
