UNSPSC 48101819: Hand sterilizer

A device used to sterilize germs or bacteria on hands which can propagate at a kitchen or a feeding facility.

UNSPSC 48101819 Hand sterilizer, a Commodity code, covers consumable hand sanitizer and related dispensing equipment that state and local governments procure for institutional facilities. Recent solicitations reveal that school districts and county agencies buy hand sterilizer as part of broader custodial and janitorial supply contracts rather than as standalone line items. The scope encompasses foam hand soap with dispensers and hand sanitizer with dispensers distributed across multiple district or county facilities, typically bundled with cleaning chemicals, disinfectants, trash bags, floor treatments, and paper products. Issuing bodies include school districts (Cobb County School District in Georgia, Northside Independent School District in Texas, Madison County Board of Education in Georgia) and county governments (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida). The work is transactional and consumable, with contracts spanning one to four years and emphasizing on-time delivery, product compliance with new and unused stock, and coordination with facility operations.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast, particularly Florida, Georgia, and Texas. Cobb County School District issued RFP B27046 (posted September 4, 2026, due September 23, 2026) for custodial equipment with an estimated expenditure of $550,000 across all district locations. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners released ITB 2600319 (posted July 7, 2026, due July 24, 2026) for janitorial and operational supplies for Fire Rescue Department operations at $765,679.84 for one year with delivery required within 10 days and coordination through the Public Safety Operations Complex in Tampa, Florida. Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, Texas posted RFP 2026-071 (posted May 13, 2026, due June 4, 2026) for custodial supplies replacing an expiring prior contract, requiring vendor response to maintain continuity. Madison County Schools in Georgia issued RFP CSUP 05-26 (posted May 4, 2026, due June 2, 2026) for supplies across eight facilities, with evaluation weighted on contractor qualifications, experience, and cost at 15 percent each alongside financial responsibility and references.
