UNSPSC 47130000: Cleaning and janitorial supplies

UNSPSC 47130000 Cleaning and janitorial supplies (Family) covers the rental, purchase, and delivery of cleaning chemicals, paper products, protective equipment, and related janitorial materials that state and local governments buy to maintain facilities across departments, schools, and corrections systems. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring toilet paper, paper towels, floor mats, cleaning chemicals, custodial supplies for schools and municipal buildings, biohazard cleanup materials, and specialized products like lead-safe equipment kits. The issuing bodies span state departments (California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, California DMV), county governments (San Mateo County Sheriff's Office, Hillsborough County), municipalities (City of St. Petersburg, City of Tucson, City of Meriden), independent and unified school districts (Northside ISD, Anaheim Union High School District, Westport Public Schools, Carroll County Public Schools), and specialized authorities (South Central Transit Authority). The California CDCR has been a repeat buyer, posting multiple regional RFQs for toilet paper and paper towels in the third and second quarters of FY 2026-27.

Geographic activity concentrates heavily in California, with the CDCR alone posting at least six regional solicitations across all state prison regions; additional recent opportunities span Connecticut (West Hartford Schools, Westport Schools, Community Renewal Team), Florida (San Mateo County, City of St. Petersburg), Maryland (Cecil County Schools, St. Mary's County Schools), Pennsylvania (South Central Transit Authority), Texas (Northside ISD San Antonio), and Massachusetts (City of Worcester). Recent representative opportunities include the California DMV's IFB 26-139 for weekly linen, mat, and janitorial supply rental and delivery to four offices (bids due November 10, 2026; estimated budget $67,740 over 36 months); the San Mateo County Sheriff's Office RFP 2026-RFP-00032 for 24/7 biohazard cleanup and sanitation services (proposals due November 7, 2025; eligible for local business and SBE incentives); the California CDCR's multiple regional RFQs for toilet paper and paper towels across Regions 1–6 (RFQ responses due October 9, 2026; restricted to California-certified small businesses with award authority capped at $249,999.99 per region); and Westport Public Schools' custodial supplies bid for 96 line items across eight schools (sealed bids due May 19, 2026). Set-asides and preferences appear frequently: California small-business (SB) certification requirements dominate CDCR procurements, while disadvantaged vendor business enterprise (DVBE) participation incentives (3–5%) apply in California state procurements, and local vendor preferences and DBE participation goals appear in county and municipal opportunities.
