UNSPSC 47121800: Cleaning equipment

UNSPSC 47121800 Cleaning equipment, a Class code, encompasses the purchase of custodial supplies and equipment that state and local governments use for facility maintenance and janitorial operations across schools, correctional facilities, municipal buildings, and county offices. Recent solicitations show school districts dominate this category, procuring consumable supplies including trash bags, floor seal and finish, detergents, disinfectants, cleaning chemicals, foam hand soap with dispensers, hand sanitizer, rags, carpet shampoo, mops, mop buckets, dust mops, brooms, brushes, and paper products. State agencies and municipal governments also participate, with the Rhode Island Department of Corrections seeking complete chemical cleaning manufacturing and distribution, and the City of Newark pursuing cleaning equipment and supplies with strict environmental compliance requirements. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, Madison County Board of Education in Georgia, Muscogee County School District in Columbus, Pinellas County School District in Florida), county school systems, state departments of corrections, municipalities, and regional purchasing cooperatives that aggregate demand across member entities.

Geographic activity spans Texas, Georgia, Florida, Rhode Island, and New Jersey, with school district procurement concentrated in the South and Southeast. Representative recent opportunities include Northside Independent School District issuing RFP 2026-071 for custodial supplies due June 4, 2026; Madison County Board of Education posting RFP CSUP 05-26 for supplies serving eight facilities and 5,415 students with proposals due June 2, 2026; Muscogee County School District releasing solicitation 26-022 for 104 line items across cleaning chemicals, paper products, floor care supplies, tools, and can liners with bids due May 22, 2026; and the Rhode Island Department of Corrections issuing RFP26006581 seeking complete chemical manufacturing, packaging, and distribution services with proposals due May 27, 2026 and contract commencement July 1, 2026 for a three-year term with two one-year renewal options.
