UNSPSC 52141701: Domestic electric toothbrushes

UNSPSC 52141701 Domestic electric toothbrushes (Commodity) captures state and local procurement of toothbrushes for facility and community use, though recent sourcing activity shows significant volume in standard manual toothbrushes rather than electric models. The code sees activity from county governments, state health and human services agencies, and cities. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an informal written quote (IWQ) for household personal hygiene items including toothbrushes and toothpaste bundled with incontinence supplies and deodorants for its Department of Community Services, with quotes due October 20, 2026. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission Procurement and Contracting Services division issued an IFB for anti-shank soft toothbrushes serving the Austin State Supported Living Center, a state-operated facility, with bids due July 23, 2026 and an initial contract value guideline of $257,500 over twelve months; that procurement permits price adjustments tied to the Consumer Price Index and includes optional renewal periods. The City of Philadelphia solicited hygiene and personal protection kits that included toothbrushes as line items within a broader community outreach package, with quotes due June 5, 2026. Several Ohio state solicitations for 3-inch toothbrushes posted in May, June, and July 2026 but lack sufficient detail to characterize scope or issuing body.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia, Texas, and Pennsylvania, with additional sourcing in Ohio. The Gwinnett County opportunity reflects demand for bulk personal hygiene supplies supporting aging services and senior centers, with 36 combined cases of toothbrushes and toothpaste required by December 7, 2026 and FOB destination delivery within 72 hours. The Texas HHSC procurement targets state-supported living centers and vocational departments, indicating facility-based ongoing demand; both HHSC and the Department of State Health Services are entitled to use any awarded contract, expanding the buyer base beyond a single facility. Philadelphia's micro-purchase signals municipal community outreach activity. Issuing bodies range from county purchasing divisions accepting informal quotes to state health departments conducting competitive sealed bids with multi-year terms and CPI adjustment mechanisms. None of the recent solicitations explicitly require set-asides or preference programs, though Texas HHSC encouraged voluntary subcontracting plans and Philadelphia collects LGBTQ applicant diversity data voluntarily.
