UNSPSC 30181601: Soap dish

Dish, fixed or otherwise, to hold soap in bath tub, shower, or sink.

UNSPSC 30181601 Soap dish is a Commodity code that covers bathroom fixture accessories—specifically soap dispensers, sanitizer holders, and related hardware—installed as part of restroom renovation and construction projects. State and local governments procure soap dishes primarily as line-item components within larger restroom and facility renovation contracts rather than as standalone purchases. The work solicited under this code reflects the fixture and accessory installation phase of comprehensive restroom upgrades, including removal of existing soap dishes and installation of new units specified by project architects. Issuing bodies include municipalities, water authorities, county governments, transit authorities, and public universities conducting restroom capital projects. The Clayton County Water Authority in Georgia, City of Pembroke Pines in Florida, Lee County Port Authority in Florida, City of Norwalk in Connecticut, and University of Texas at Tyler have all issued restroom renovation solicitations in recent months that encompass soap dish specification and installation as a component of broader scopes.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and the Southeast, with additional projects in Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. The Clayton County Water Authority (Georgia) issued RFB 2026-GS-10 for restroom renovations across multiple facilities with bids due August 5, 2026. The City of Pembroke Pines (Florida) issued IFB #RE-26-03 on June 30, 2026, for interior renovation of park restroom facilities at five locations, requiring installation of new fixtures including soap and sanitizer dispensers, with bids due July 21, 2026 and an estimated contract value of $310,000. The Lee County Port Authority (Florida) issued RFB 26-0041LB for non-public restroom remodels at Southwest Florida International Airport with bids due April 23, 2026. The City of Norwalk (Connecticut) issued IFB #4500 for Concert Hall Restroom Renovations with bids due April 17, 2026. These procurements are structured as design-bid-build general contractor awards where soap dishes appear as specified fixture line items rather than separate vendor awards, and the code itself does not appear to drive independent purchasing decisions by state and local entities.
