UNSPSC 47131604: Brooms

UNSPSC 47131604 Brooms, a Commodity code, does not align with recent state and local procurement activity posted under this taxonomy code. The source shows nine solicitations tagged to 47131604, but only two appear genuinely relevant to brooms or broom-related products: the Town of Shelton, Connecticut issued two ITBs for Sweeper Broom Bid #2026-29 (Solicitation Numbers 36523 and 36521), both closed or closing in May 2026 through the OpenGov platform, with no line-item detail or contract value specified in available documentation. The remaining seven opportunities—roof restoration coating services (City of Ocala ITB), window and building washing (Caltrans District 11 IFPQ), custodial equipment (Cobb County School District), custodial stock supplies (Cooperative Purchasing Agency), janitorial and operational supplies (Hillsborough County), and custodial supplies (Northside Independent School District and Madison County Board of Education)—are miscoded. These solicitations pursue cleaning supplies, equipment, and services across a broad spectrum of consumables and labor; only one line item in the CPA bid explicitly names brooms as part of a 60-item custodial supplies package delivered to 35 Georgia school systems.

The mismatch suggests the code is used inconsistently across issuing bodies, or the taxonomy assignment reflects upstream procurement system defaults rather than accurate commodity mapping. The CPA custodial supplies bid (bids due September 30, 2026) and Hillsborough County janitorial supplies ITB (bids due July 24, 2026, estimated value $765,679.84) show school districts and county governments purchasing cleaning supplies on a large scale, but brooms represent only a small fraction of those procurements. Geographic activity centers on Georgia (CPA cooperative purchasing), Florida (City of Ocala, Hillsborough County, Caltrans), Texas (Northside Independent School District), and Connecticut (Town of Shelton), but without reliable code assignment, the true demand signal for brooms specifically remains unclear. Firms treating this code as a primary target should verify commodity coding before pursuing opportunities.
