UNSPSC 47131907: Absorbent booms

UNSPSC 47131907 Absorbent booms, a Commodity code, encompasses absorbent spill-containment and cleanup materials that state and local governments procure as part of routine facility maintenance, janitorial operations, and emergency response readiness. The code captures products ranging from absorbent pads and booms to complete wheeled spill kits used by fire departments, public works, schools, and municipal service departments. Recent state and local solicitations under this code reflect a mix of recurring consumable purchases tied to facility upkeep, fire rescue operations, and specialized spill-response equipment. Issuing bodies include county government procurement offices (Hillsborough County, Pasco County), independent school districts (Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, Dougherty County School System in Albany, Muscogee County School District in Columbus), municipal departments (City of Tampa), and regional purchasing cooperatives serving multiple school districts across a state. School districts and county facilities are the dominant buyers, often bundling absorbent products with broader custodial and maintenance-supply contracts.

Activity is concentrated in Florida and Georgia, with Texas showing secondary presence through cooperative purchasing vehicles. Recent representative opportunities include Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' ITB for janitorial and operational supplies (ITB-26-00319, due July 24, 2026) valued at $765,679.84 annually for supplies to 47 fire stations; the City of Tampa's RFQ 26-P-00213 (due April 6, 2026) for four absorbent wheeled spill kits with 50-gallon capacity; and Muscogee County School District's competitive bid for custodial supplies and equipment (26-022, due May 22, 2026) across 104 line items including floor care supplies. The Northside Independent School District in San Antonio issued RFP 2026-071 for custodial supplies (due June 4, 2026), and Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas aggregates custodial supply procurement across member districts, with an estimated total expenditure of $5,220,140. Most awards use sealed-bid or RFQ processes with firm-fixed pricing on an FOB Destination basis, typically requiring new, commercial-grade products with delivery within 5–10 days and compliance with OSHA Material Safety Data Sheet standards.
