UNSPSC 53131607: Hand or body lotion or oil

A type of emollient used to protect the skin.

UNSPSC 53131607 Hand or body lotion or oil (Commodity) captures personal hygiene and grooming products that state and local governments procure for resale, institutional distribution, or direct use, though recent activity shows the code applied more broadly to multi-item hygiene bundles rather than lotion or oil specifically. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division issues solicitations for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) Prison Commissaries Division under this family, where products are distributed to incarcerated individuals across multiple facilities. The scope extends to antifungal powder, shaving cream, hairbrushes, antibacterial bar soap, panty liners, sanitary napkins, and tampons — a product mix reflecting institutional inventory management rather than cosmetic or personal-care positioning. Issuing bodies purchasing under this code include state procurement offices acting on behalf of correctional and social-service agencies; TDCJ remains a visible repeat customer for commissary resale operations.

The Texas Department of Criminal Justice dominates recent activity under the code. The Comptroller's Invitation for Bids No. 304T-26-652A1.3, posted June 2, 2026, with a response deadline of May 26, 2026, solicited seven line items (antifungal powder at 150 cases, shaving cream at 690 cases, hairbrushes at 172 cases, antibacterial bar soap at 2,000 cases, panty liners at 5,460 cases, sanitary napkins at 18,192 cases, and tampons with cardboard applicators at 5,460 cases) for delivery to five locations including Beeville, Huntsville, Rosharon, and Snyder, Texas. All products require new condition, detailed specifications including active ingredients and container types, mandatory sample submissions, and UPCA or Code 3 of 9 bar coding for items 1–4. Bidders must quote per-case pricing including all shipping, handling, fuel surcharges, and a 1.5% Texas SmartBuy administrative fee, maintain $500,000 commercial general liability insurance per occurrence, and disclose ownership and any AI systems used in performance. The initial contract term runs through August 31, 2027, with two optional renewals extending through August 31, 2029.
