UNSPSC 47121608: Floor machine pads

UNSPSC 47121608 Floor machine pads, a Commodity code, covers the supply of replacement pads for floor-care equipment used in schools, facilities, and municipal buildings. State and local governments procure these pads primarily through school district maintenance departments and facilities operations, typically bundling them in as-needed supply contracts alongside related custodial and cleaning equipment. The work solicited under this code centers on OEM-specification floor pads—most commonly 3M black pads and equivalent products from manufacturers including Nilfisk-Advance, Clarke, Tennant, Powr-Flite, and Tornado—sold in cases or bulk quantities with pricing firm through contract term and subject to CPI-based escalation at renewal. School districts dominate the issuing bodies, with Pinellas County Schools (Florida) and Fayette County Public Schools (Georgia) conducting recent solicitations; other jurisdictions treat floor pads as line items within larger custodial supply or equipment programs rather than standalone procurements.

Recent activity clusters in the Southeast, with Georgia (Fayette County Public Schools, Jackson County School System) and Florida (Pinellas County School District, Polk County School Board) showing the heaviest procurement volume in the past three months. Fayette County Schools issued RFQ 26-023-075 on March 18, 2026, for 355 cases of 3M Black High Productivity Floor Pad 7300 with a March 25, 2026 response deadline; Henderson Chemical Company was awarded at $53.05 per case for a total of $18,832.75. Pinellas County Schools issued ITB 26-AM-002 (due February 20, 2026) for floor machine parts on an as-needed basis supporting 16 manufacturer lines, with an estimated annual value of approximately $60,000 and contract period April 13, 2026 through April 12, 2027, renewable for two additional one-year periods. Most recent solicitations require OEM products only, prohibit aftermarket or refurbished pads, and embed floor pads within broader custodial supply agreements; standalone floor-pad procurements remain rare, limiting direct pursuit opportunities under this Commodity code alone.
