UNSPSC 47131816: Deodorizers

UNSPSC 47131816 Deodorizers (Commodity) encompasses a narrower scope than the code's name suggests; state and local governments are actually purchasing broad custodial and janitorial supplies under this classification, including paper products (towels, tissue, napkins), cleaning chemicals (disinfectants, degreasers, detergents), trash receptacles and liners, hand soap and sanitizer dispensers, mops, brooms, and related equipment for facilities maintenance across school districts, municipal departments, and cooperative purchasing organizations. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with both individual district procurement and regional cooperative purchasing agencies (such as Cooperative Purchasing Agency, a Georgia-based nonprofit warehouse serving 35 school systems) driving sustained activity. Cities and county education boards also solicit under the code, though less frequently than school districts in the recent record.

Geographic concentration is evident in Georgia, where Cobb County School District, Madison County Board of Education, and Cooperative Purchasing Agency all posted solicitations in the past six months. The City of Philadelphia appears as an outlier with a narrowly focused battery-powered diffuser bid. Representative recent opportunities include Cobb County School District's IFB for custodial equipment ($550,000 estimated expenditure, due September 23, 2026), Cooperative Purchasing Agency's 2027-001 custodial stock supplies bid covering approximately 60 line items (due September 30, 2026 for a January–December 2027 contract period), Madison County Board of Education's RFP for custodial supplies across eight facilities (due June 2, 2026), and the City of Philadelphia's small order purchase for battery-powered air diffusers (due July 8, 2026). Custodial supply contracts typically run annual cycles with firm pricing and F.O.B. destination delivery terms; school districts frequently require proof of insurance, E-Verify compliance, and multiple references from new vendors.
