UNSPSC 47131609: Broom or mop handles

UNSPSC 47131609 Broom or mop handles (Commodity) shows minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—handles for brooms and mops—does not align with the solicitations tagged under it in the source material. The recent opportunities posted under this code include roof restoration coating services, kitchen equipment, window and building washing, custodial equipment, custodial stock supplies, janitorial and operational supplies, food service products, and custodial supplies. Of these, only the custodial stock supplies bid from Cooperative Purchasing Agency (Georgia) explicitly lists brooms and mops as line items within a broader 60-item consumable supplies scope; the other solicitations address finished equipment or services rather than component handles.

School districts and county boards of education are the primary issuing bodies appearing in the tagged opportunities, with Cobb County School District (Georgia), Cooperative Purchasing Agency serving 35 Georgia school systems, Northside Independent School District (Texas), Madison County Board of Education (Georgia), and Anaheim City School District and Anaheim Union High School District (California) among the recent posters. Activity is concentrated in Georgia, California, and Texas, with additional solicitations from Florida and South Carolina. The mismatch between the code's name and the actual scope of recent opportunities suggests that state and local procurement offices may be applying this code inconsistently or that broom and mop handles are being procured as incidental items within larger custodial supply aggregations rather than as standalone commodities. If pursuing this code, align prospecting with custodial supply contracts at school districts and county maintenance operations rather than expecting standalone handle procurements.
