UNSPSC 27113001: Scratch brushes

UNSPSC 27113001 Scratch brushes (Commodity) shows limited recent activity directly aligned with the code's narrow scope. The five recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code do not center on scratch brushes; instead, they span roof restoration coating services, custodial equipment procurement, and custodial supply contracts encompassing cleaning brushes, brooms, mops, and related janitorial hand tools as line items within much broader solicitations. The City of Ocala's ITB for roof restoration coating services (ITB FAC/260714, due June 9, 2026) required elastomeric coating application on multiple roof substrate types and specified adhesion testing and film-thickness verification, but did not isolate brush tools. Cobb County School District, Cooperative Purchasing Agency serving 35 Georgia school systems, Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners, Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, and Madison County Board of Education in Georgia all solicited custodial supplies that included brooms, brushes, and mops as consumable line items priced within broader supply contracts; none targeted scratch brushes specifically. The issuing bodies span school districts, county governments, a cooperative purchasing vehicle, and county commissions — typically large institutional buyers of recurring janitorial consumables.

Recent activity is concentrated in Georgia and Florida, with secondary representation in Texas and broader multi-facility school district procurement. The Cooperative Purchasing Agency bid (CPA 2027-001, due September 30, 2026) estimated approximately 60 line items of custodial stock supplies across 35 school systems, including brushes and brooms priced at cost-per-unit or case quantities; Hillsborough County estimated $765,679.84 for a one-year janitorial supply contract (ITB 26-00319, due July 24, 2026); Madison County Schools in Georgia sought annual custodial supply renewals through June 2, 2026 (RFP CSUP 05-26). Northside Independent School District required custodial supply responses by June 4, 2026 to replace an expiring contract. The code's nominal product — standalone scratch brushes — does not emerge as a distinct procurement line in these opportunities; vendors pursuing this code should recognize that state and local brush procurement typically occurs as embedded items within larger custodial or maintenance contracts rather than as standalone commodity buys.
