UNSPSC 47131612: Replacement rubbers

UNSPSC 47131612 Replacement rubbers is a Commodity code that represents rubber and elastomer replacement components for custodial and maintenance equipment, though recent state and local solicitations under this code show activity focused more broadly on custodial supplies, equipment, and janitorial services. The work actually being solicited includes trailing wear components for floor scrubbers, vacuum components, and related consumable equipment parts that support custodial operations across school districts, municipalities, and county governments. School districts are the dominant issuing bodies, with active recent procurement from Chippewa Valley Schools, Clarke County School District, Gordon County School System, Madison County School System, and Hillsborough County Public Schools. Municipal and county entities, including the City of St. Petersburg, City of Arlington, and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners, also solicit custodial-related supplies and services under comparable codes. The mix reflects procurement offices buying replacement parts and consumables to support existing equipment fleets rather than capital equipment purchases.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Florida, with secondary activity in Michigan, Texas, and other states where school districts manage large custodial operations. Representative recent solicitations include Chippewa Valley Schools' ITB 3.2627 for custodial equipment (posted October 15, 2026, due October 21, 2026), which detailed approximately 150 individual units across 19 equipment categories including floor scrubbers, carpet extractors, and vacuums; Clarke County School District's IFB 26-0814 for industrial floor cleaning equipment and charging stations (due August 14, 2026); and Hillsborough County Public Schools' ITB 26131-MST for custodial equipment covering auto scrubbers, wet/dry vacuums, and carpet extractors (due June 17, 2026). City of St. Petersburg's IFB 26-325 for janitorial supplies (due October 20, 2026) and Dougherty County School System's 004-PUR-2027 custodial supplies warehouse restock (due May 27, 2026) show recurring procurement of consumable janitorial products including cleaners, disinfectants, and paper products. Most recent solicitations are ITBs and RFPs with response windows of two to four weeks, firm pricing terms ranging from 6 to 12 months, and FOB destination delivery to multiple school or municipal locations.
