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 under which state and local governments procure wound care, skin protectant, and personal hygiene products for use in institutional and public health programs rather than retail or general-population skincare. Recent solicitations show the code encompassing harm reduction supplies including wound care and skin protectant items for safer drug use programs, feminine hygiene products (sanitary napkins, panty liners, tampons), shaving cream, antibacterial bar soap, antifungal powder, and hairbrushes sourced for correctional facilities and county health departments. Issuing bodies include county public health agencies and state departments—specifically the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts procuring on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice for statewide prison commissary resale—indicating a split between direct-service public health purchasing and bulk institutional supply for state corrections systems.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southwest and Mountain regions. Boulder County Public Health issued an RFP (Solicitation Number PHI00326) on August 10, 2026, seeking harm reduction supplies vendors with a September 11, 2026 response deadline. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts released an Invitation for Bids (IFB No. 304T-26-652A1.3) on June 2, 2026, for seven line items (antifungal powder, shaving cream, hairbrushes, antibacterial soap, panty liners, sanitary napkins, and tampons) with delivery to five Texas locations including Beeville, Huntsville, Rosharon, and Snyder; the response deadline was May 26, 2026, at 1:30 p.m. Central Time. The Texas procurement runs through August 31, 2027, with two renewal options extending through August 31, 2029, and requires $500,000 minimum commercial general liability insurance and barcode compliance for scanners. Texas recognizes state procurement preferences for Texas-manufactured goods, agricultural products, service-disabled veteran-owned businesses, and environmentally sensitive materials but does not establish mandatory set-asides on these line items.
