UNSPSC 53131503: Toothbrushes

UNSPSC 53131503 Toothbrushes, a Commodity code, covers the purchase of toothbrushes by state and local governments — typically in bulk quantities for distribution to vulnerable populations, institutional care settings, and community outreach programs. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing toothbrushes as part of broader personal hygiene procurement, either bundled with other hygiene products or as standalone items for specialized facilities. The Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, for example, procured 36 cases of toothbrushes combined with toothpaste as part of a household items quote for its Department of Community Services; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited 4-inch flexible security nylon toothbrushes for the Austin State Supported Living Center's vocational department under an IFB with a historical contract value of $257,500 over the initial contract period. Issuing bodies include county governments, state health and human services agencies, and city procurement departments, typically purchasing through informal written quotes (IWQ), invitations for bid (IFB), or micro-purchase processes.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia and Texas. Gwinnett County's October 2026 quote request for household items — including toothbrushes, with delivery due by December 7, 2026 — required submission by October 20, 2026 via email, fax, or hand delivery to the Gwinnett County Purchasing Division, with an FOB destination basis and delivery within 72 hours of order. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission's July 2026 IFB for anti-shank soft toothbrushes closed July 23, 2026, with questions due July 16, 2026; the contract was contingent on HHSC Executive Commissioner approval and included a 240-day firm offer period, optional renewal periods of one year each, and a possible one-year extension. Several Ohio procurement records from May through September 2026 reference toothbrushes but lack sufficient detail — issuing body, scope, and specifications — to characterize activity there meaningfully.
