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 is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure hand sanitizer and hand soap dispensers as part of broader consumable janitorial and custodial supply contracts. Recent solicitations show hand sterilizer embedded within larger janitorial, food-service sanitation, and healthcare-supply buys rather than as a standalone line item; state and local buyers source hand sanitizer with dispensers alongside cleaning chemicals, paper products, disinfectants, and related consumables in single competitive procurements. School districts, county fire and rescue departments, county boards of education, and county public health systems are the primary issuing bodies soliciting under this code. The work spans consumable supplies for maintenance of K–12 facilities, food service kitchens, fire stations, and central warehouses on an as-needed basis, with vendors typically required to be authorized distributors, maintain firm pricing for contract terms, and deliver within specified timeframes (commonly 5–10 business days).

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Florida, and Georgia. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issued ITB 26-00319 for janitorial and operational supplies on July 7, 2026, with bids due July 24, 2026, valued at $765,679.84 for delivery to 47 fire stations. Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas) released RFP 2026-071 on May 13, 2026, with response due June 4, 2026, for custodial supplies replacing an expiring contract. Madison County Board of Education (Danielsville, Georgia) posted RFP CSUP 05-26 on May 4, 2026, due June 2, 2026, requesting hand sanitizer with dispensers and related supplies for eight schools across 787,296 square feet. Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida) solicited proposals through RFP 25614-RFP-DST for a food service sanitation program including hand soap and sanitizer dispensers, with an estimated annual contract value of $400,000 funded entirely by USDA. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas coordinated a catalog discount RFP (CUS2223) representing $5,220,140 in anticipated custodial supply spending across member school districts.
