UNSPSC 47121801: Cleaning dusters

UNSPSC 47121801 Cleaning dusters is a Commodity code covering the procurement of consumable and durable custodial supplies and equipment by state and local governments. Recent solicitations show that state and local buyers actually procure the full range of janitorial products under this code: cleaning chemicals, disinfectants, detergents, floor seal and finish, foam hand soap, hand sanitizer, trash bags, paper products, mops, brooms, dust mops, mop buckets, carpet shampoo, rags, brushes, dust pans, and floor care equipment. School districts dominate the issuing body mix, with independent school districts and county boards of education posting the bulk of recent activity; city and county government facilities also solicit custodial supplies, though less frequently than schools. A cooperative purchasing vehicle — Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas — structures demand across multiple member districts, indicating that vendors pursuing the category should monitor both individual district RFPs and cooperative catalog discount agreements that pool buying across dozens of institutions.

Recent procurement activity clusters heavily in the South and Southeast: Texas, Georgia, and Florida show the strongest concentration in 2026 postings. Representative recent opportunities include Northside Independent School District (NISD) in San Antonio, Texas, which issued RFP 2026-071 for custodial supplies with a June 4, 2026 deadline; Madison County Board of Education in Danielsville, Georgia, which posted custodial supplies RFP CSUP 05-26 due June 2, 2026, seeking supplies for eight school facilities across 787,296 square feet; and Muscogee County School District in Columbus, Georgia, which solicited competitive bids for 104 line items of custodial supplies and equipment (organized into five categories: cleaning chemicals, paper products, floor care supplies, tools and accessories, and can liners) with bids due May 22, 2026. Pinellas County School District in Florida estimated annual contract value at $900,000 for an ITB due December 2, 2025. Contract periods typically run one to two years with renewal options, and evaluation criteria balance price against vendor qualifications, experience, references, product quality, and delivery capability; environmental compliance (Green Seal certification, biodegradable products, absence of carcinogens or chlorinated solvents) appears in multiple district RFPs and reflects growing preference for sustainable procurement.
