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 (Commodity) encompasses consumable custodial supplies—cleaning chemicals, trash bags, paper products, mops, brooms, floor care equipment, and related consumables—that state and local governments procure primarily through school districts, municipal departments, and cooperative purchasing vehicles. Recent solicitations show school districts dominating the buyer mix, with frequent procurements from county systems (Muscogee County School District, Gwinnett County Public Schools, Polk County School Board, Pinellas County School District) and independent school districts (Northside Independent School District); municipalities including the City of Dallas, City of Philadelphia, City of Richardson, and Town of Branford also bid regularly for trash bags and janitorial supplies for police and administrative facilities. Regional purchasing cooperatives such as Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas aggregate demand across multiple member school districts, with estimated annual expenditures reaching millions of dollars across single procurements.

Activity is geographically distributed across Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Connecticut, with repeat solicitation cycles every 12 to 24 months. Representative recent opportunities include Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas) issuing RFP 2026-071 for custodial supplies with a June 4, 2026 response deadline; Madison County Board of Education (Danielsville, Georgia) issuing RFP CSUP 05-26 due June 2, 2026, for consumables and equipment across eight facilities totaling 787,296 square feet; City of Dallas issuing a five-year ID/IQ master agreement (BC26-00029656) for janitorial supplies, trash bags, and liners across fourteen product groups with a May 29, 2026 bid deadline and an estimated annual spend in the hundreds of thousands; and Muscogee County School District (Columbus, Georgia) bidding 104 custodial line items (solicitation 26-022) with a May 22, 2026 deadline and contract effective July 1, 2026. Most contracts run 12 months with annual renewal options; pricing is typically firm for the initial term, and delivery is FOB destination with inside delivery to multiple locations. No set-aside designations appear standard across these procurements, though some jurisdictions request disclosure of M/WBE or local-business-entity certification status for informational purposes.
