UNSPSC 47131810: Dishwashing products

UNSPSC 47131810 Dishwashing products (Commodity) covers industrial and institutional dishwashing detergents, sanitizers, rinse additives, and related chemical supplies that state and local governments procure for facility operations. State and local buyers under this code include school districts, county senior services, correctional facilities, fire departments, and other operational agencies managing high-volume warewashing systems. The work involves supply of concentrated formulas for mechanical dishwashers, manual pot and pan detergents, sanitizers, and specialty cleaning agents—typically sold in bulk (cases or 55-gallon drums) with firm pricing, routine delivery on fixed schedules, and compliance with product specifications tied to existing equipment. Issuing bodies range from individual school districts managing cafeteria operations to state-level correctional departments and county governments operating multiple facilities; repeat buyers include school nutrition services departments sourcing supplies across multiple school locations.
