UNSPSC 53131512: Personal electric toothbrushes or accessories

Battery or electrically powered toothbrushes for domestic use.

UNSPSC 53131512 Personal electric toothbrushes or accessories, a Commodity code, covers toothbrushes and related oral-care products that state and local governments purchase for facilities, programs, and beneficiaries. Recent solicitations show that the code actually captures both standard manual toothbrushes and specialized variants (such as soft or security nylon designs) for use in senior services, state-supported living centers, and community outreach programs. Issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners, state health and human services agencies, and municipalities. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia solicited toothbrushes as part of a household items procurement for its Department of Community Services; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission procured specialized anti-shank soft toothbrushes for the Austin State Supported Living Center; and the City of Philadelphia requested hygiene items that included toothbrush products for community outreach. The work involves straightforward purchase and delivery of standardized commodities with firm lead times, often bundled with other personal-care or incontinence supplies.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in the Southeast and Southwest, with recent documented solicitations from Georgia, Texas, and Pennsylvania, plus additional Ohio-based notices that lack sufficient detail for characterization. The Texas HHSC procurement (IFB HHS0017608) represents a larger-value opportunity at $257,500 for the initial contract year (September 2026 through August 2027) with two one-year renewal options and a possible additional extension, whereas the Gwinnett County informal written quote (IWQ 140255) was a smaller household-items purchase with a due date of October 20, 2026 and delivery required by December 7, 2026. Pricing structures range from low-cost micro-purchases under $50,000 to supply contracts supporting state facility operations, with most solicitations specifying firm, fixed, all-inclusive pricing on an FOB destination basis and delivery windows not exceeding 72 hours to a few weeks depending on the jurisdiction.
