UNSPSC 52171001: Hanging toiletry organizer or shelf

UNSPSC 52171001 Hanging toiletry organizer or shelf is a Commodity code that nominally describes bathroom accessories, but recent state and local solicitations show minimal alignment with the code's literal product scope. The opportunities posted under this code overwhelmingly reflect large-scale bathroom and restroom renovation projects—including demolition, flooring, plumbing fixture replacement, electrical upgrades, tile installation, and finish work—rather than procurement of hanging organizers or shelves as discrete products. The issuing bodies include municipal water departments, airport authorities, county commissions, special-purpose districts, and universities across multiple states, though restroom renovation work dominates the tagged opportunities rather than bathroom accessory procurement. The code appears to be either misapplied by posting agencies or reflects a data-classification gap in how state and local procurement offices tag complex construction and renovation services.

Recent opportunities include the City of Rome, Georgia's Water Department Bathroom Renovation (RFP, due October 22, 2026); the City of St. Marys, Georgia's women's bathroom and locker-room renovation at a Coast Guard Station facility (sealed bid, due October 6, 2026, with a 120-calendar-day completion window and $200-per-day liquidated damages); the City of Pembroke Pines, Florida's park restroom interior renovation at five locations (IFB #RE-26-03, estimated contract value $310,000, with Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements and local vendor preferences); and the Lee County Port Authority's non-public restroom remodels at Southwest Florida International Airport (RFB 26-0041LB, closed April 23, 2026, requiring Sherwin-Williams Duraflex epoxy flooring and stainless steel partition replacement). The geographic spread centers on Florida and Georgia, with activity also in Texas (City of San Antonio's Davis Scott YMCA renovation) and broader multistate cooperative procurement through Sourcewell. If your firm pursues opportunities tagged to this code, verify the actual scope before bid preparation, as the posted work typically requires full general contracting and MEP trades rather than bathroom accessory supply.
