UNSPSC 47131801: Floor cleaners

UNSPSC 47131801 Floor cleaners (Commodity) covers cleaning chemical products and related supplies that state and local governments procure for routine facility maintenance, including floor care products, detergents, disinfectants, and specialty floor strippers used across schools, county facilities, and municipal buildings. Recent solicitations show school districts as the dominant buyer segment, with activity concentrated in Georgia and Florida; typical work includes blanket supply contracts for consumable janitorial chemicals, spot procurements for specific floor-care products like laminate waxes and strippers, and bundled custodial supply agreements covering multiple product categories. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Northside ISD in San Antonio, Clayton County and Dougherty County systems in Georgia, Madison County Board of Education in Georgia, Gordon County schools), county school boards (Pinellas County, Florida), and county facilities such as fire rescue departments (Hillsborough County, Florida). City procurement also appears occasionally, as in Fort Worth's janitorial-services RFP. Representative recent opportunities include Clayton County Public Schools' IFB for Spartan Millennia Bright Dura Gloss Laminate Floor Wax (IFB 011-26, bid due July 8, 2026, estimated 2,500 five-gallon pails annually with a 15 percent Small Local Business Enterprise contracting goal), Dougherty County School System's RFQ for NCL Bare Bones Floor Stripper (RFQ 020-PUR-2026, 287 five-gallon units, proposals due May 14, 2026, with local preference allowing Dougherty County suppliers to match the lowest bid within two percent or $2,500), and Northside Independent School District's RFP for custodial supplies (RFP 2026-071, due June 4, 2026, replacing an expiring contract and mandatory for incumbent vendors to rebid).

Geographic concentration is strongest in Georgia and Florida, with secondary activity in Texas. Georgia shows the most recent density, with Clayton County, Dougherty County, Madison County, and Gordon County school systems all soliciting within the past six months; Pinellas County Schools in Florida issued a specialized gym-floor refinishing ITB (ITB #25-CD-079, due February 4, 2026, requiring Florida-licensed contractors within 165 miles); Hillsborough County issued an ITB for janitorial and operational supplies (ITB-26-00319, July 24, 2026 deadline, estimated value $765,679.84 for 47 fire stations). Texas representation includes Northside ISD (San Antonio, RFP 2026-071) and City of Fort Worth (RFP 26-0243 for janitorial services, proposals due August 27, 2026, with 30 percent Small Business participation goal). School districts account for the majority of posted opportunities; custodial supply contracts frequently range from $500,000 to $765,000 annually and often include renewal options spanning two to four additional years. Many solicitations enforce local vendor preferences or small-business contracting goals, and several require firm pricing for extended contract periods without escalation clauses.
