UNSPSC 47131616: Cleaning pad holders

UNSPSC 47131616 Cleaning pad holders is a Commodity code that sits at the narrowest tier of the UN taxonomy. State and local governments buying under this code procure replaceable floor pads and related equipment components for commercial and industrial floor-care machines — specifically the round abrasive or fiber pads that attach to electric floor buffers, burnishers, and similar equipment used in schools, public facilities, and institutional settings. The recent opportunities block shows a mismatch: most solicitations are for broader custodial supplies (vacuums, mops, chemicals, protective gear), custodial equipment (buffers, holders, carts), and food-service products. Only one opportunity directly aligns with the code's nominal scope — Fayette County Public Schools' RFQ 26-023-075 for 355 cases of 3M Black High Productivity Floor Pads 7300, each case containing five 20-inch round pads specified as brand-specific nylon fiber with extra coarse grade, due March 25, 2026. The code shows limited direct activity in state and local procurement databases as a standalone line item.

The issuing bodies in the recent opportunities block are school districts and a city — Anaheim Union High School District (California), Northside Independent School District (Texas), Jackson County School System (Georgia), Fayette County Public Schools (Georgia), Pinellas County School District (Florida), Polk County Schools (Florida), and the City of Tupelo (Mississippi). Geographic concentration skews toward Florida, Georgia, California, and Texas. Procurement spans RFPs, RFQs, and ITBs with response dates between February and May 2026. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix; custodial supplies and equipment procurement is frequent and sustained across multiple jurisdictions, though the cleaning pad holder code itself appears underutilized as a discrete commodity classification. Vendors supplying floor pads and related components compete in a broader custodial-supplies ecosystem where district purchasing often bundles pads with larger equipment and supplies orders under higher-level UNSPSC families rather than specifying the commodity code.
