UNSPSC 47131909: Sorbent pads or rolls

UNSPSC 47131909 Sorbent pads or rolls is a Commodity code. State and local governments buy sorbent pads under this code to absorb, contain, and clean spills of oils, hazardous liquids, and other liquid waste during facility maintenance, remediation, and emergency response. Recent solicitations show procurement of floor pads for routine janitorial maintenance in schools and county facilities, alongside spill-containment and cleanup materials used in environmental remediation, hazardous-waste collection, and indoor air quality assessment operations. The issuing bodies are primarily school districts (Dougherty County School System, Cobb County School District, Pinellas County School District, Northside Independent School District), county departments of environmental services and waste management (Escambia County, Waukesha County, City of Tucson), and city fire and environmental departments (Hillsborough County Fire Rescue, City of Tampa). School districts appear as repeat buyers, purchasing floor pads as consumable supplies for routine custodial operations across multiple facilities.

Recent activity is concentrated in Florida (Dougherty County, Escambia County, Hillsborough County, Pasco County, Pinellas County, and cities of Tucson and Tampa), with secondary solicitations in Georgia, Texas, and Wisconsin. A representative recent opportunity is Dougherty County School System's Request for Quotation 021-PUR-2026 for 150 20-inch round black stripping floor pads, due May 14, 2026, for delivery to Albany, Georgia under firm-fixed pricing. Another is Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' ITB-26-00319 for consumable janitorial and operational supplies (estimated value $765,679.84) for 47 fire stations operating 24/7, with bids due July 24, 2026. Pinellas County School District's ITB #26-CD-039 for Indoor Air Quality Services (estimated $100,000, bids due November 6, 2026) includes air sampling, laboratory analysis, and remediation support where absorbent containment materials may be specified as part of the scope. Custodial supply contracts typically span one to three years with optional renewals; procurement notices specify FOB Destination pricing, delivery windows of 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on business days, and compliance with Florida business licensing, E-Verify, and drug-free workplace requirements where applicable.
