UNSPSC 47131906: Absorbent pans

UNSPSC 47131906 Absorbent pans, a Commodity code, does not appear to map to the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it. The opportunities posted under this code over the past six months span janitorial and custodial supplies, hazardous waste collection and disposal, industrial chemicals for remediation, used-oil recycling, and floor maintenance equipment — none of which center on absorbent pans as a discrete product line. The Dougherty County School System's procurement of floor pads and the Hillsborough County Fire Rescue janitorial supply contract mention consumable supplies for facility operations, but neither isolates absorbent containment or spill-control products. The City of Tucson's activated-carbon remediation contract and the City of Tampa's hazardous-waste disposal RFQ address containment and transport of hazardous materials but do not specifically solicit absorbent pans. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope.

Across the sample, issuing bodies include county school districts (Pinellas County, Cobb County, Dougherty County, Northside Independent School District in San Antonio), county governments (Waukesha, Hillsborough, Escambia, Pasco), and municipalities (Tucson, Tampa) — a mix typical of state and local procurement. Geographic distribution spans Florida (five opportunities), Georgia, Texas, Wisconsin, and Arizona, with Florida showing the highest recent concentration. Representative recent opportunities include the Hillsborough County Fire Rescue janitorial-supplies ITB (July 2026, $765,679.84 estimated value, due July 24, 2026), the Dougherty County School System's floor-pads RFQ (April 2026, 150 units of 20-inch black stripping pads, due May 14, 2026), and Northside Independent School District's custodial-supplies RFP (May 2026, due June 4, 2026). None of these opportunities explicitly references absorbent pans or spill-containment products, suggesting the code assignment may reflect a procurement taxonomy inconsistency rather than actual buying activity under the code's intended scope.
