UNSPSC 47121501: Cleaning or janitorial cart

An ergonomically designed mobile apparatus intended to improve cleaning practices and efficiency as personnel move from one area or room of the building to another. These carts efficiently store on board all of the necessary cleaning chemicals and cleaning accessories.

UNSPSC 47121501 Cleaning or janitorial cart is a Commodity code covering cart and trolley equipment used in janitorial and custodial operations across state and local facilities. State and local governments purchasing under this code are acquiring mobile storage and transport equipment for janitorial staff, typically as part of broader custodial supply and equipment procurements. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include school districts (Cobb County School District in Georgia, Northside Independent School District in Texas, Madison County Board of Education in Georgia), cooperative purchasing agencies serving multiple school systems (Cooperative Purchasing Agency in Georgia), transit and transportation departments (California Department of Transportation), local government agencies (City of Dallas, City of Philadelphia), and community service organizations (Community Renewal Team, Inc. in Connecticut). School districts appear as repeat buyers, reflecting ongoing custodial staffing and facility maintenance needs across multiple buildings.

Recent activity spans Connecticut, California, Georgia, and Texas. Representative solicitations include Cobb County School District's IFB B27046 for custodial equipment with an estimated contract expenditure of $550,000 (due September 23, 2026); Cooperative Purchasing Agency's bid 2027-001 for custodial stock supplies covering approximately 60 line items including janitorial equipment such as carts, brooms, and mops, with annual delivery to the CPA warehouse in Cleveland, Georgia (due September 30, 2026); Madison County Board of Education's RFP CSUP 05-26 seeking custodial supplies for eight school facilities, including mops, mop buckets, brooms, and related equipment for delivery by late August 2026; and Community Renewal Team, Inc.'s RFP 1533 for paper supplies and janitorial items for its food production facility in Hartford, Connecticut (due September 23, 2026). While the code's nominal scope references carts specifically, recent solicitations frame this equipment within broader custodial supply bundles where carts are bundled with consumables, cleaning chemicals, and tools rather than procured as standalone items.
