UNSPSC 47121810: Cleaning rag dispenser

UNSPSC 47121810 Cleaning rag dispenser is a Commodity code covering wall-mounted and standalone dispensing units for cleaning wipes, rags, and similar consumables that state and local governments procure for facility maintenance and operational use. The code appears in recent state and local solicitations primarily as an ancillary line item or bundled offering within larger custodial and janitorial consumables contracts rather than as a standalone procurement focus. School districts, county governments, and municipal purchasing offices solicit cleaning dispensers as part of comprehensive janitorial-supply and facility-maintenance programs; the recent record shows dispensers requested alongside paper products, cleaning chemicals, and operational supplies for schools, county fire rescue, county parks, county jails, and municipal buildings. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Northside ISD in San Antonio, Stockton Unified, Lake County Schools, Hancock County Board of Education, Madison County Schools, Cobb County Schools, Dougherty County Board of Education), county commissions and boards (Hillsborough County, Harris County, Gwinnett County, Solano County), and municipalities (City of Philadelphia). The mix reflects the typical state and local procurement landscape: school districts dominate the volume, driven by daily facility operations across multiple campuses, while county governments and cities round out the buyer base with lower transaction frequency but similar equipment needs.

Recent opportunities show concentrated activity in Georgia, Florida, Texas, and California, with scattered municipal procurement in Pennsylvania. Representative recent solicitations include Gwinnett County Department of Financial Services Purchasing Division (IWQ #135541, quotation due August 27, 2026) requesting 300 jumbo-roll toilet-paper dispensers, 200 multi-fold paper-towel dispensers, 50 soap/sanitizer hybrid dispensers, and 100 touchless paper-towel dispensers for parks and recreation facilities with brand-equivalent substitution permitted; Northside Independent School District (RFP 2026-071, proposals due June 4, 2026) for custodial supplies across San Antonio campuses; and City of Philadelphia (micro purchases B2727608 and B2727588, due August 5 and July 27, 2026 respectively) for paper-towel dispensers under requirements contracts spanning the fiscal year. Dispensers typically appear as discrete line items within broader facility-supply procurements, priced competitively on a unit basis, with delivery to central warehouses or distributed school and municipal sites. The code sees modest but consistent activity; volume and dollar value remain subordinate to the larger paper-products and chemical-cleaning categories that predominate across school-district and county facility operations.
