UNSPSC 47131827: Stain cleaners or removers

UNSPSC 47131827 Stain cleaners or removers, a Commodity code, encompasses cleaning chemicals and specialized products that state and local governments procure as part of broader custodial supply contracts for facility maintenance. School districts dominate recent solicitation activity under this code, seeking stain removers and related chemical cleaners bundled with broader custodial supply line items — vacuum equipment, brushes, mops, dispensers, and paper products — to support classroom, office, and facility operations across multiple locations. The Pinellas County School Board in Florida's December 2025 ITB for custodial supplies (102 line items, approximately $900,000 annually) and Madison County Schools in Georgia's June 2026 RFP for custodial supplies (including carpet shampoo, detergents, disinfectants, and cleaning chemicals across eight facilities) illustrate the pattern: stain removers appear as discrete line items within large, multi-category procurement vehicles that school districts execute annually to maintain in-stock inventories at warehouse distribution points. School districts represent the primary buying cohort under this code; isolated opportunities from special-purpose districts such as Eastern Municipal Water District (carpet cleaning services in California) and city housing authorities (carpet replacement and cleaning) also post solicitations, but school-district volume dominates recent activity.

Recent opportunities cluster in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic, with the most active recent solicitations posted by Florida (Pinellas County School Board, ITB 25JG072, due December 2, 2025) and Georgia (Madison County Board of Education, RFP CSUP 05-26, due June 2, 2026). Cobb County School District in Georgia posted a custodial equipment solicitation (B27046, due September 23, 2026, approximately $550,000) that sits adjacent to the consumables category. California and Wisconsin round out the recent geographic footprint with water-district and municipal-authority procurements (Eastern Municipal Water District RFP3935 for carpet cleaning and maintenance covering 97,478 square feet across three Perris facilities, due June 2, 2026; City of Madison Community Development Authority RFB 15050-0-2026-AH for carpet removal and replacement at Karabis Apartments, due July 17, 2026). Most school-district solicitations allow line-item or section-level award and anticipate annual contract renewal, creating repeat procurement cycles. E-Verify compliance, proof of commercial liability insurance (typically $500,000 to $2,000,000 per occurrence depending on issuer), and submission of Safety Data Sheets for chemical items are standard bidder requirements across school-district procurements.
