UNSPSC 52141700: Domestic bath appliances

UNSPSC 52141700 Domestic bath appliances is a Class code under which state and local governments procure personal hygiene and bathroom products — toothbrushes, toothpaste, deodorant, shampoo, dental floss, incontinence supplies, and related items — for senior centers, institutional facilities, community outreach programs, and social services departments. The purchasing bodies span county human services agencies, state health and human services commissions, city social services offices, and other local providers of care and support services. Work being solicited includes both spot purchases of mixed hygiene supplies and longer-term supply contracts for specific facilities; a recent Gwinnett County IWQ (informal written quote) solicited 27 line items of personal hygiene and incontinence products for delivery to the Senior Services Center in Lawrenceville, Georgia by December 7, 2026, while the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued an IFB for anti-shank soft toothbrushes for the Austin State Supported Living Center with an initial contract value of $257,500 and a term running September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027 plus optional renewals.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, and Ohio, with Georgia and Texas showing the most substantive solicitations. The Gwinnett County procurement (posted October 13, 2026, due October 20, 2026) calls for delivery within 72 hours of order receipt and requires three references demonstrating similar scope; the Texas HHSC procurement (posted July 9, 2026, due July 23, 2026) operates through both direct award and cooperative contract use (HHSC and the Department of State Health Services may both use any awarded vehicle). Ohio shows multiple toothbrush-specific postings with minimal detail available. Award criteria typically emphasize lowest-price responsive bidding on county and city micro-purchases, while the state-level Texas procurement weights ability to meet specifications and delivery requirements, past performance, ability to perform, and price. Most solicitations require firm, fixed, all-inclusive pricing with FOB destination delivery and standard insurance and compliance certifications.
