UNSPSC 47141502: Containment boom

A containment boom is a temporary floating barrier used to contain an oil spill.

UNSPSC 47141502 Containment boom (Commodity) shows marked mismatch between its nominal scope and actual recent state and local procurement activity under this code. The six recent opportunities posted under 47141502 describe janitorial and custodial supplies (floor pads, cleaning chemicals, paper products, tools and accessories, can liners), herbicides and fertilizers, and a wheeled spill kit—none of which fall within the containment boom product family. The issuing bodies span county governments (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners, Pasco County, Dougherty County), independent school districts (Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, Muscogee County School District in Columbus), a municipal department (City of Tampa), and a regional purchasing cooperative (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas). The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned to its stated commodity scope.

Activity under this code appears concentrated in Florida and Georgia, with Texas representation through the Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's multi-district custodial supplies catalog discount RFP. Representative recent opportunities include Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' ITB 26-00319 for janitorial and operational supplies with a $765,679.84 one-year contract value and July 24, 2026 response date; Northside Independent School District's RFP 2026-071 for custodial supplies with a June 4, 2026 response date replacing an expiring contract; Pasco County's IFB SP-26-074 for herbicides, fertilizers, and pesticides with a June 16, 2026 response date and contract through September 30, 2029; and Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's custodial supplies catalog discount RFP with an estimated $5.22 million total expenditure across member entities. The code designation appears to be a data classification error by issuing bodies rather than authentic sourcing activity under the containment boom commodity.
