UNSPSC 47131902: Granular absorbent

UNSPSC 47131902 Granular absorbent (Commodity) covers consumable cleaning and maintenance supplies that state and local governments procure for facility operations, though recent solicitation activity under this code shows minimal direct alignment with the abstract commodity name. The small set of tagged opportunities reflects a broader pattern: most state and local procurement of janitorial, custodial, and facility-maintenance products occurs under higher-level family or class codes rather than this specific commodity designation. School districts, county departments, and municipal agencies are the primary issuing bodies, but they rarely tag routine supplies purchases with the granular absorbent commodity code itself. When the code does appear, it overlaps with or is outweighed by adjacent procurement for custodial equipment, floor pads, janitorial supplies, herbicides, pesticides, and fertilizers—all consumables supporting facility upkeep across educational, administrative, and public-works operations.

Geographic activity centers on Florida and Georgia, with outlier activity in Texas and Wisconsin. Recent representative opportunities include Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' July 2026 competitive sealed bid (ITB-26-00319) for janitorial and operational supplies to 47 fire stations with an estimated one-year value of $765,679.84; Northside Independent School District's May 2026 RFP 2026-071 for custodial supplies in San Antonio, Texas, replacing an expiring contract; Dougherty County School System's April 2026 RFQ 021-PUR-2026 for 20-inch round black stripping floor pads (150 units estimated); and Pasco County, Florida's May 2026 IFB-SP-26-074 for herbicides, fertilizers, and pesticides on an as-needed basis through September 2029. Cobb County School District (September 2026, $550,000 estimated over contract term) and Pinellas County School District (October 2026, ITB #26-CD-039, ~$100,000) also issued solicitations tagged under adjacent codes for equipment and services. The code sees infrequent direct procurement activity; business development focus should weight recent opportunities under higher-tier family and class codes and verify actual commodity alignment before pursuing.
