About UNSPSC 53131513
UNSPSC 53131513 Gum massager or brush is a Commodity code encompassing oral hygiene products purchased by state health and human services agencies and municipal governments for institutional care settings.

The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) represents a significant repeat issuing body, procuring bulk quantities of anti-shank soft toothbrushes for vocational and personal-care programs at state facilities. Municipal health and social-services departments, such as the City of Philadelphia, source toothbrushes and related personal hygiene items for community distribution and emergency-response kits.
