UNSPSC 53131613: Facial care products

Skin care products are cleansers, moisturizers, serums and creams used in a daily facial skin care regimen.

UNSPSC 53131613 Facial care products is a Commodity code covering personal hygiene and grooming items that state and local governments procure for resale through institutional commissaries, inmate welfare accounts, and public-facility retail operations. State and local solicitations under this code name specific personal-care consumables — antifungal powders, shaving creams, hairbrushes, antibacterial soaps, and feminine hygiene products — sourced in bulk cases for statewide distribution and resale. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections and state procurement offices acting on behalf of correctional facilities; these entities buy facial care and grooming products as part of broader personal hygiene procurement programs for incarcerated populations and facility retail channels.

The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division posted Invitation for Bids No. 304T-26-652A1.3 on June 2, 2026, as the representative recent opportunity under this code. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice sought seven line items — antifungal powder, shaving cream, hairbrushes, antibacterial bar soap, panty liners, sanitary napkins, and tampons — with delivery to five primary locations across Texas (Beeville, Huntsville, Rosharon, and Snyder) through August 31, 2027, with two optional renewal periods extending through 2029. Respondents could bid on any combination of products and were required to submit firm, all-inclusive pricing including shipping and a 1.5% Texas SmartBuy administrative fee, along with sample submissions. The solicitation permitted vendors to claim Texas procurement preferences including Texas-manufactured goods, service-disabled veteran-owned business status, and environmentally sensitive materials, though no mandatory set-asides were established. The response deadline was May 26, 2026, at 1:30 p.m. Central Time.
