UNSPSC 47131814: Metal cleaners or polishes

UNSPSC 47131814 Metal cleaners or polishes is a Commodity code covering consumable chemical cleaners and polishing agents that state and local governments purchase for facilities maintenance and custodial operations. Recent solicitations show this code is actually being used to procure broad-spectrum janitorial and custodial supplies—including cleaning chemicals, disinfectants, detergents, and floor care products—rather than narrowly focused metal-specific formulations. School districts and county governments dominate the buying activity, soliciting these supplies on recurring annual or multi-year contracts to support campus maintenance, fire rescue facilities, and administrative operations. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) issued an ITB for janitorial and operational supplies totaling $765,679.84 for the Fire Rescue Department with a July 24, 2026 response deadline; Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas) released RFP 2026-071 for custodial supplies with a June 4, 2026 deadline; and Muscogee County School District (Columbus, Georgia) solicited custodial supplies and equipment under competitive bid 26-022 due May 22, 2026, encompassing 104 line items organized into five categories (cleaning chemicals, paper products, floor care supplies and equipment, tools and accessories, and can liners).

Activity concentrates in Florida, Texas, and Georgia, where multiple school districts and county systems are actively refreshing custodial supply contracts. Pinellas County School District (Florida) estimated annual contract value at approximately $900,000 for custodial supplies; Madison County Schools (Georgia) issued RFP CSUP 05-26 due June 2, 2026, for supplies across eight facilities serving 5,415 students; Polk County Schools (Florida) awarded custodial cleaning supplies across nine vendors totaling $242,309.49; and Donna Independent School District (Texas) sought janitorial supplies on a catalog-discount basis for the 2026-2027 school year with an April 8, 2026 deadline. These jurisdictions emphasize firm pricing for 12-month periods, delivery to multiple dispersed locations, compliance with environmental or green-product preferences where stated, comprehensive insurance and E-Verify requirements, and award flexibility permitting multiple vendors or line-item-level awards. No minimum purchase quantities are guaranteed in most solicitations.
