UNSPSC 41103509: Laboratory scrubbers

UNSPSC 41103509 Laboratory scrubbers is a Commodity-tier code that in recent state and local solicitations covers custodial and janitorial cleaning supplies, including all-purpose cleaners, concentrated detergents, sanitizers, disinfectants, mops, brooms, and related dispensing equipment — typically procured as part of broader cleaning-product or food-service supply contracts rather than as standalone laboratory equipment. The issuing bodies include city governments (Arlington, Virginia; Bridgeport, Connecticut), county school districts (Dougherty County Board of Education, Georgia; Montgomery County, Texas), and cooperative purchasing consortia (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, Texas). The scope of work spans routine janitorial services for municipal facilities, specialized food-safety and sanitation programs for school nutrition operations, and catalog discount arrangements for multipurpose custodial supplies distributed to member organizations.

Recent activity appears concentrated in the Southeast and Texas. The City of Arlington posted an RFP for janitorial services across 11 Parks, Recreation, and Culture Department facilities (due October 22, 2026); the Dougherty County Board of Education School Nutrition Program solicited a Food Safety and Sanitation Program serving 24 school nutrition sites with an IFB due June 17, 2026; and Montgomery County, Texas issued an RFP for child nutrition chemical products and services for school kitchens (due July 21, 2026). The Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Kilgore, Texas established a catalog discount bid for custodial supplies across a two-year term valued at $12,638,478 (RFP due May 26, 2026). The City of Bridgeport's Department of Public Purchases solicited paper and cleaning products for the Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services Department across 35 designated school sites (IFB due June 30, 2026), with Buy American requirements and a one-year contract term through June 30, 2027. School nutrition and food-service operations dominate the recent opportunity set, alongside municipal janitorial services and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple member entities.
