UNSPSC 53131611: Shaving creams

UNSPSC 53131611 Shaving creams (Commodity) represents personal hygiene and grooming products that state and local governments procure primarily for institutional use—inmate commissaries, senior services facilities, and public-agency employee amenities. Recent solicitations show that shaving cream is typically purchased as part of larger household and personal hygiene product bundles, often bundled with antiperspirant deodorant, toothpaste, antibacterial soap, sanitary products, and other grooming essentials. Issuing bodies include state departments (notably the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts procuring for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice), county purchasing offices (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), and special-purpose administrative divisions. Buyers expect firm unit pricing on a per-case basis, compliance with detailed product specifications including active ingredients and packaging requirements, barcode compatibility with agency scanning systems where applicable, and delivery timelines of 72 hours or less after order placement.

Geographic activity centers on Texas and Georgia based on recent solicitations. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issued Invitation for Bids No. 304T-26-652A1.3 in June 2026 for personal hygiene and grooming products including 690 cases of shaving cream, with delivery to five statewide locations and a contract term running through August 31, 2027 with two renewal options extending to 2029; the solicitation required questions by May 8, 2026 and responses due May 26, 2026 at 1:30 p.m. Central Time.
