UNSPSC 47131800: Cleaning and disinfecting solutions

UNSPSC 47131800 Cleaning and disinfecting solutions is a Class code encompassing consumable products and equipment maintenance services that state and local governments procure for facility sanitation, floor care, and dishwashing operations across schools, county offices, fire departments, and transportation centers. Recent solicitations show a split between supply procurement (floor wax, custodial products, janitorial stock, kitchen equipment) and specialized services (gym floor refinishing, window and building washing, warewashing equipment maintenance). Issuing bodies include school districts at multiple scale (from under-6,000-student rural systems to 52,000-student urban systems), county boards of education, county fire rescue departments, state agencies (Caltrans, Florida Department of Juvenile Justice), city school districts, and tribal governments. School districts dominate the recent opportunity volume, with repeat procurement through district-level custodial supply RFPs and IFBs that renew annually or biennially; county school systems in Georgia and Florida appear as consistent buyers. A small number of opportunities carry explicit set-asides: Caltrans' window-washing solicitation restricts bidding to certified small businesses, micro-businesses, or disabled veteran business enterprises under California Government Code Section 14838.5; Clayton County Public Schools applies a 15 percent Small Local Business Enterprise (SLBE) contracting goal with good-faith-effort documentation required.

Geographic activity spans Florida (School Board of Pinellas County, Florida Department of Juvenile Justice, Hillsborough County), California (Caltrans District 11, Anaheim Union High School District, Anaheim City School District), Georgia (Clayton County Public Schools, Cobb County School District, Madison County Board of Education, Dougherty County School System), Texas (Northside Independent School District), Connecticut (West Hartford Public Schools), and tribal jurisdictions (Gila River Indian Community). Recent representative opportunities include the School Board of Pinellas County ITB for gym floor screening and re-coating (due February 4, 2026), Caltrans District 11 IFPQ for window and building washing in San Diego restricted to SB/DVBE vendors (due October 1, 2026), Clayton County Public Schools IFB for Spartan Millennia floor wax (due July 8, 2026, with estimated annual volume of 2,500 five-gallon pails), Hillsborough County ITB for consumable janitorial and operational supplies for 47 fire stations (estimated value $765,679.84, bids due July 24, 2026), Northside Independent School District RFP for custodial supplies in San Antonio (due June 4, 2026), and West Hartford Public Schools RFP for warewashing services and chemicals across 16 locations (due June 5, 2026). Pricing structures vary: competitive sealed bids dominate for consumable products; sole-source and IFPQ arrangements appear for specialized equipment and certified vendors; cooperative purchasing extensions (piggyback clauses) are common in Georgia school RFQs. Most school district contracts run one year with options to renew for one to four additional years; prevailing-wage requirements apply to Caltrans work under Government Code Section 19134.
