UNSPSC 47131602: Scouring pads

UNSPSC 47131602 Scouring pads is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it show minimal direct alignment with the nominal product category. Instead, the code's recent activity reflects a much broader scope of janitorial and custodial supply procurement — including cleaning chemicals, disinfectants, detergents, hand soaps, paper products, and general operational supplies — rather than scouring pads specifically. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include school districts (Cobb County School District in Georgia, Dougherty County Board of Education in Georgia, Northside Independent School District in Texas, Madison County Board of Education in Georgia), county government (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida, Solano County Department of General Services in California), and state transportation departments (California Department of Transportation). School districts and county purchasing offices appear as repeat buyers across the recent posting record.

Recent activity spans California, Florida, Georgia, and Texas. Representative solicitations include Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' ITB for janitorial and operational supplies (due July 24, 2026) serving 47 fire stations with an estimated contract value of $765,679.84 for one year; Cobb County School District's bid for custodial equipment (due September 23, 2026) with estimated expenditures of $550,000 over the contract term; Northside Independent School District's RFP for custodial supplies (due June 4, 2026) replacing an expiring contract; Dougherty County Board of Education's sealed bid for a Food Safety and Sanitation Program (due June 17, 2026) covering 24 school nutrition sites; and Solano County's IFB for toiletry paper products (due April 15, 2024) serving jail facilities and county operations with a three-year base term and two-year renewal option. Typical contract terms run one to three years with annual renewal options; delivery is local and coordinated with county or district project managers; and pricing must be firm for at least the first contract year with no fuel surcharges permitted.
