UNSPSC 47131609: Broom or mop handles

UNSPSC 47131609 Broom or mop handles, a Commodity code, comprises replacement handles and shafts for janitorial tools that state and local governments procure as part of broader custodial supply contracts. Recent solicitations show school districts, county facilities agencies, and municipalities buying broom and mop handles as line items within larger consumable janitorial procurements, typically quoted by unit price and delivered alongside related supplies such as mop heads, cleaning chemicals, and paper products.

School districts dominate the buyer base, with Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas), Pinellas County School District (Florida), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Madison County Schools (Georgia), Polk County Schools (Florida), and Marion County Schools (Florida) all actively soliciting custodial supplies that include handles and related equipment. County government purchasing offices and municipal facilities departments round out the issuer mix—Hillsborough County (Tampa, Florida) issued ITB 26-00319 for janitorial supplies to support 47 fire stations, and Jackson County, Missouri solicited janitorial supplies across multiple county departments. Donna Independent School District (Cameron County, Texas) and Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative (serving school districts across Texas) have issued catalog discount RFPs for custodial supplies. Geographic activity centers on Texas and Florida, with significant recent procurements in Georgia and Missouri. Pinellas County Schools estimated a $900,000 annual contract value for its custodial supplies bid (ITB 25-JG-072, due December 2, 2025); Hillsborough County estimated $765,679.84 for janitorial and operational supplies (ITB 26-00319, due July 24, 2026); Jackson County, Missouri estimated $317,000 annually for janitorial supplies across a 24-month term (bid 26-022, due May 5, 2026); and Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative estimated $5.22 million in total expenditures across member entities (RFP CUS2223, bid award June 16, 2022). Most school district procurements are structured as RFPs or catalog discount bids with response dates typically 30–60 days from posting, though some county and municipal solicitations use ITB (Invitation to Bid) format. Vendors must submit Material Safety Data Sheets for chemical products, provide multiple references, maintain commercial general liability insurance (typically $1 million per occurrence minimum), and comply with E-Verify employment verification and state procurement preferences. No set-asides or restrictions specific to disadvantaged enterprises appear in the recent solicitations reviewed.
