UNSPSC 47131702: Sanitary goods dispensers

UNSPSC 47131702 Sanitary goods dispensers is a Commodity code covering personal hygiene and sanitary products for institutional and public use. State and local governments procure under this code personal care items including sanitary napkins, tampons, panty liners, shaving cream, antifungal powder, hairbrushes, antibacterial soap, hand sanitizer, exam gloves, bandages, gauze products, and first-aid supplies, often for correctional facilities, schools, and detention centers. Issuing bodies span Texas Department of Criminal Justice and its subsidiary Prison Commissaries Division, county sheriff's offices, school districts, county purchasing departments, and municipal procurement bureaus. The mix reflects institutional buyers managing supplies for large inmate, student, and staff populations where volume purchasing and standardized specifications drive procurement.

Recent activity clusters in Texas and Florida, with standout repeat buyers including the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (which has posted multiple solicitations for feminine hygiene products and commissary supplies), Bernalillo County Purchasing Section in New Mexico, the Pinellas County School Board in Florida, Marion County Schools in Florida, and Parkway School District in Missouri. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division issuing an Invitation for Bids on June 2, 2026 (IFB 304T-26-652A1.3) for seven line items totaling sanitary napkins (18,192 cases), tampons (5,460 cases), panty liners (5,460 cases), shaving cream (690 cases), antifungal powder (150 cases), hairbrushes (172 cases), and antibacterial soap (2,000 cases) for delivery to multiple Texas locations with response due May 26, 2026, and the Bernalillo County Purchasing Section requesting bids on July 15, 2026 (RFB0927NM) for personal care products serving two detention facilities with response due July 30, 2026.
