UNSPSC 52121705: Face towel

All kinds of face towels.

UNSPSC 52121705 Face towel is a Commodity code that encompasses bath and washcloths distributed through state and local institutional supply chains. Recent solicitations show state and local governments buying bath towels, washcloths, and related bed and bath linens for corrections facilities, institutional laundry operations, and general state procurement. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include state departments — specifically state corrections systems — and broader state purchasing offices handling commodity goods. Work ranges from single-transaction wash cloth and towel purchases to multi-year supply contracts for high-volume institutional linen provision.

Ohio posted a short-deadline IFB (Solicitation 7096) on June 24, 2026, due June 25, 2026, for wash cloths and bath towels with no additional scope details in the source. The Michigan Department of Corrections conducted a more substantial procurement under RFP 26 1299 260000000550 for bed and bath linens, including 581,951 units of bath towels as one component of a 22-line-item three-year supply contract. That RFP closed March 31, 2026, and Michigan awarded the contract split between Focus Sales & Marketing Group LLC ($422,609.62, a Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Business) and Spec-Tex Inc. ($3,240,966.00) pending State Administrative Board approval. Activity appears concentrated in the Midwest, with recent opportunities in Ohio and Michigan. Geographic spread and issuing-body repetition beyond these two states are not supported by the source.
