UNSPSC 53131505: Infant soother or pacifier or dummy

UNSPSC 53131505 Infant soother or pacifier or dummy, a Commodity code, covers the procurement of pacifiers and related infant soothing devices by state and local governments, primarily for use in public health clinics, early childhood programs, and institutional care settings. State and local procurement under this code focuses on acquiring individual units or bulk quantities of pacifiers that meet safety and sanitation standards for distribution to infants and young children in government-run or government-funded facilities. Issuing bodies include state health departments, county public health agencies, municipal clinics, school districts with early childhood or pre-K programs, and special-purpose districts operating childcare facilities. Procurement typically occurs through routine supply contracts rather than capital or infrastructure projects.

No recent state or local contract opportunities are present in the available data for this code. Activity under UNSPSC 53131505 appears to be minimal or sporadic in the public procurement record, suggesting that pacifier procurement either falls below the competitive-bid threshold in many jurisdictions, is bundled with broader infant-care supply contracts coded to different UNSPSC categories, or is handled through cooperative purchasing agreements that do not generate individual opportunity postings.
