UNSPSC 53131608: Soaps

UNSPSC 53131608 Soaps is a Commodity code covering body soaps, antibacterial liquid soaps, and soap products procured by state and local jurisdictions for operational use. Recent state and local opportunities show soaps being solicited as line items within larger janitorial and custodial supply contracts—embedded in consumable supply packages for fire rescue departments, school districts, and county facilities—as well as standalone procurements for specific soap products by state agencies. The issuing-body mix includes county governments (Hillsborough County, Florida; Jackson County, Missouri; Pasco County, Florida), school districts (Muscogee County Schools, Georgia; Madison County Schools, Georgia; Bridgeport Board of Education, Connecticut), city procurement offices (City of Tampa, Florida; City of Newark, New Jersey), and state departments (Ohio Department of Administrative Services). School districts and county governments appear most frequently in recent activity, typically bundling soaps within broader custodial or janitorial supply contracts rather than procuring them standalone.

Recent opportunities span Florida, Georgia, Connecticut, Ohio, Missouri, and Texas. The most concrete recent solicitation is Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners ITB 2600319 for janitorial and operational supplies (posted July 7, 2026, due July 24, 2026), a $765,679.84 one-year consumable supply contract for 47 fire rescue stations with delivery to Tampa, Florida. A second representative opportunity is Muscogee County School District solicitation 26-022 (posted April 21, 2026, due May 22, 2026), seeking custodial supplies and equipment across all district schools, with 104 line items including cleaning chemicals and soaps, contract award scheduled June 29, 2026, and performance from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027. The City of Tampa Purchasing Department RFQ 26-P-00128 (posted February 25, 2026, due February 16, 2026) procured 384 units of antibacterial foaming soap for one year. Ohio Department of Administrative Services posted solicitation 7099 for antibacterial liquid soap (posted June 24, 2026, due June 26, 2026) with no scope detail disclosed. Several additional opportunities, including isolated Ohio body-soap procurements and a Region 7 Texas cooperative purchasing catalog-discount RFP covering custodial supplies, show minimal scope information or outdated closing dates.
