UNSPSC 41103200: Laboratory washing and cleaning equipment

UNSPSC 41103200 Laboratory washing and cleaning equipment, a Class code, encompasses custodial and janitorial supplies for school food service operations, building maintenance, and specialized facility cleaning. State and local governments procure under this code primarily through school districts and municipal departments seeking bulk supplies of cleaning chemicals, dispensers, protective equipment, paper products, mops, brooms, and related consumables. The recent opportunities show substantial activity in school district food and nutrition programs, which represent the core procurement driver under this code, alongside municipal custodial supply contracts and cooperative purchasing agreements that aggregate demand across multiple school entities and governmental jurisdictions.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix. Pinellas County School District, Cobb County School District, Bridgeport Board of Education (through the City of Bridgeport), East Hartford Public Schools, Dougherty County Board of Education, and Klein Independent School District all appear in recent solicitations. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas has issued multiple consecutive custodial-supplies catalog discount bids, with estimated expenditures ranging from $5.2 million to $12.6 million per contract cycle, indicating that cooperative purchasing vehicles drive significant volumes under this code. County governments and municipal departments also procure: Montgomery County, Texas requested child nutrition chemical products and dispensing systems for school kitchens; Gwinnett County, Georgia solicited custodial supplies; and the City of Albuquerque sourced laboratory supplies (though that opportunity appears tangential to the core code scope). Recent opportunities span Connecticut, Texas, Florida, Georgia, and New Jersey, with Texas showing concentrated activity through Region 7's multi-year cooperative agreements. Representative current solicitations include the City of Bridgeport's June 2026 RFQ for paper and cleaning products to supply the Bridgeport Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services Department across 35 school sites (response due June 30, 2026), with deliverables comprising 193 line items of food service disposables, packaging, and janitorial supplies under a Buy American provision; Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's June 2026 RFP for custodial supplies (CUS2628) with estimated expenditures of $12.6 million across its member entities, responses due May 26, 2026; Pinellas County School District's February 2026 ITB for custodial supplies with an estimated annual value of approximately $900,000 (response due December 2, 2025, with contract period February 25, 2026 through February 24, 2027); and Cobb County School District's March 2026 IFB for food and nutrition services hood cleaning across 134 kitchen vent hoods at 111 school sites (response due March 23, 2026).
