UNSPSC 47131902: Granular absorbent

UNSPSC 47131902 Granular absorbent, a Commodity code, covers absorbent materials used in janitorial, facilities maintenance, and spill-response operations by state and local agencies. State and local governments procure these products primarily as consumable supplies for routine cleaning and emergency spill containment across fire departments, school districts, municipal services, and county maintenance operations. The work solicited under this code spans purchasing individual absorbent products for ongoing janitorial use, acquiring absorbent components as part of custodial supply packages, and sourcing specialized spill-kit equipment with absorbent capacity for municipal departments.

Issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners, independent school districts, municipal procurement offices, and regional purchasing cooperatives. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners, Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas), Pasco County, Dougherty County School System (Albany, Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Columbus, Georgia), the City of Tampa, and Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative (Texas) have posted recent opportunities under or closely aligned with this code between February and July 2026. The geographic concentration centers on Florida and Georgia, with Texas representation through both direct school district procurement and cooperative purchasing vehicles. Representative recent solicitations include Hillsborough County's ITB-26-00319 for janitorial and operational supplies (due July 24, 2026, estimated contract value $765,679.84 for fire rescue operations), Pasco County's IFB-SP-26-074 for herbicides, fertilizers, and pesticides on an as-needed basis (due June 16, 2026), the City of Tampa's RFQ 26-P-00213 for wheeled spill kits with 50-gallon absorbent capacity (due April 6, 2026), and Northside Independent School District's RFP 2026-071 for custodial supplies (due June 4, 2026, replacing an expiring 2025 contract). Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's catalog discount RFP (Bid CUS2223, estimated total expenditures $5.22 million across member entities) indicates significant ongoing demand through cooperative purchasing arrangements that extend to multiple member school districts throughout Texas.
