UNSPSC 53131502: Toothpaste

UNSPSC 53131502 Toothpaste is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure toothpaste as part of broader personal hygiene and household-item purchasing programs. Recent solicitations show toothpaste being bought in bulk quantities — typically in cases of 36 units or more — alongside complementary oral-care products such as toothbrushes and dental floss, as well as other personal-hygiene items including deodorant, shampoo, and incontinence supplies. The work is straightforward supply procurement: vendors quote unit prices on a fee schedule, delivery is expected within 72 hours of order, and awards go to the lowest responsive and responsible quote. Issuing bodies under this code include county governments and county service departments; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, serving senior-services centers, is a documented recent buyer.

Gwinnett County, Georgia, issued an informal written quote (IWQ) solicitation in October 2026 for household items including 36 cases of toothbrushes and toothpaste combined, with a response deadline of October 20, 2026 and delivery required by December 7, 2026 to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center in Lawrenceville. The solicitation required three references, mandated F.O.B. Destination pricing inclusive of all shipping costs, and imposed worker-verification compliance for contracts exceeding $2,499.99. Two additional opportunities — one posted in August 2026 and one in May 2026 — carried commodity names matching the code but lacked sufficient detail to assess scope, issuing body, or procurement terms. Recent activity is limited and geographically concentrated in Georgia.
