UNSPSC 47131814: Metal cleaners or polishes

UNSPSC 47131814 Metal cleaners or polishes is a Commodity code, but recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it centers overwhelmingly on custodial and janitorial supplies — consumable products including detergents, disinfectants, floor sealants and finishes, hand soap and sanitizers, trash bags, mops, brooms, brushes, rags, dust mops, carpet shampoo, and paper products for district-wide facility maintenance. The code also captures building and window washing services, which state and local bodies procure as both standalone contracts and as part of broader facility cleaning scopes. Issuing bodies include school districts (Cobb County School District in Georgia, Northside Independent School District in Texas, Madison County Board of Education in Georgia), county governments (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida), and state transportation departments (California Department of Transportation). School districts are the repeat buyers in this block, with three of five recent opportunities originating from K–12 systems seeking regular consumable supply replenishment.

Activity clusters in California, Florida, Georgia, and Texas, with the most recent opportunities posted between May and September 2026. Representative solicitations include Cobb County School District's custodial equipment procurement (ITB, $550,000 estimated value, due September 23, 2026), Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' janitorial and operational supplies contract for 47 fire stations (ITB2600319, $765,679.84 estimated value, due July 24, 2026), Northside Independent School District's custodial supplies RFP (due June 4, 2026), Madison County Board of Education's custodial supplies RFP (CSUP 05-26, due June 2, 2026), and Caltrans District 11's window and building washing services (IFPQ 11A4424, restricted to certified SB/DVBE, prevailing-wage required, due October 1, 2026). School district contracts frequently run multi-year terms with annual renewal options and impose firm pricing for 12 months; some include set-aside designations (Caltrans restricts to SB/DVBE). Delivery to multiple district locations and compliance with tax-exempt status are common requirements.
