UNSPSC 48102107: Catering gloves or glove dispensers

UNSPSC 48102107 Catering gloves or glove dispensers is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity spans disposable nitrile gloves, exam gloves in latex and nitrile formulations, work gloves across multiple material types and coatings, and protective equipment dispensers—all purchased as consumable supplies for ongoing operational use rather than specialized catering contexts. State and local buying entities include county departments (sheriff's corrections centers, water resources, fire rescue), school districts and child nutrition services, public utilities, and independent school systems, with no single issuer dominating the recent opportunity set but school districts appearing consistently across multiple jurisdictions. The scope of recent solicitations shows glove purchases embedded in broader consumable-supply contracts for janitorial, custodial, healthcare, and food service operations, suggesting that isolated glove-only procurements represent a secondary pattern compared to bundled buys where gloves anchor a category of PPE or facility-maintenance items.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Florida, Ohio, Georgia, Missouri, and Utah, with notable near-term opportunities including Granite School District (Utah) issuing IFB JB27-300 for foodservice nitrile gloves due July 17, 2026; Hillsborough County Fire Rescue (Florida) soliciting janitorial and operational supplies including gloves under ITB-26-00319 with a July 24, 2026 deadline and an estimated contract value of $765,679.84; Ohio Sheriff's Corrections Center requesting nitrile gloves in multiple sizes for a three-year term (January 1, 2027–December 31, 2029) under informal RFB 7107, due July 1, 2026; Long Beach Public Utilities Department (California) issuing an RFQ for gloves across six categories with 38 line items and a July 22, 2026 deadline, with a local preference allowing Long Beach-based vendors a ten percent bid reduction; and Fayette County Public Schools (Georgia) requesting paper products and janitorial supplies including nitrile gloves in four sizes under RFP 26-024-075, due April 22, 2026. Pricing expectations range from the Ohio corrections center's multi-year standing order structure (1,680 cases annually across three sizes) to the Hillsborough County ITB's estimated two-year value of $765,679.84, indicating sustained demand and moderate to large procurement volumes in active jurisdictions.
