UNSPSC 47131904: Absorbent socks

UNSPSC 47131904 Absorbent socks is a Commodity code that does not map to the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it. The recent opportunities under this code span indoor air quality services, activated carbon for environmental remediation, hazardous waste disposal, custodial equipment and supplies, household hazardous waste collection, used oil recycling, janitorial supplies, herbicides and fertilizers, and floor pads — none of which involve absorbent socks or absorbent-material products. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding of diverse environmental services and facilities-maintenance work or a gap between the nominal scope of the Commodity code and actual procurement practice in the jurisdictions posting these opportunities.

The issuing bodies include school districts (Pinellas County School District in Florida, Cobb County School District in Georgia, Northside Independent School District in Texas, and Dougherty County School System in Georgia), county governments (City of Tucson Environmental Services, City of Tampa, Escambia County Department of Waste Services, Waukesha County, Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners, and Pasco County), and specialized environmental or waste-management departments. Recent opportunities posted between April and October 2026 span Florida (four solicitations), Georgia (one), Texas (one), Arizona (one), and Wisconsin (one). Representative recent solicitations include Pinellas County School District's ITB for Indoor Air Quality Services (response due November 6, 2026, estimated value approximately $100,000), City of Tucson Environmental Services' RFP for Remediation System Activated Carbon (proposals due September 23, 2026), and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' ITB for Janitorial and Operational Supplies (bids due July 24, 2026, estimated contract value $765,679.84). Code activity shows no alignment with the absorbent-sock product category and does not support pursuing business development under this Commodity classification based on current state and local procurement signals.
