UNSPSC 47131901 Absorbent mats is a Commodity code covering consumable floor coverings and protective mats that state and local governments procure for janitorial, sanitary, and operational facility maintenance. School districts and county governments are actively soliciting absorbent mats as line items within larger custodial and operational supplies contracts.
