UNSPSC 53131614: Foot care products

UNSPSC 53131614 Foot care products, a Commodity code, encompasses personal hygiene and grooming goods that state and local governments procure for institutional use, resale through commissaries, and general supply. The recent activity under this code reflects a broader institutional demand for consumable personal care items including antifungal powders, shaving creams, hairbrushes, antibacterial soaps, and feminine hygiene products (sanitary napkins, panty liners, and tampons). Issuing bodies include state procurement divisions acting on behalf of correctional and other institutional customers; the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division has posted solicitations in this category to serve the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) and its Prison Commissaries Division for resale to incarcerated persons. These procurements typically require detailed product specifications, mandatory sample submissions, bar coding compatible with institutional inventory systems, firm fixed pricing inclusive of shipping and administrative fees, and compliance certifications covering federal and state law, equal employment opportunity, human trafficking prohibitions, and deceptive trade practices.

The most recent activity is concentrated in Texas. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issued Invitation for Bids No. 304T-26-652A1.3 on June 2, 2026, for seven line items of personal hygiene and grooming products (antifungal powder, shaving cream, hairbrushes, antibacterial soap, panty liners, sanitary napkins, and tampons) to be delivered to five primary locations including Beeville, Huntsville, Rosharon, and Snyder, Texas, with an initial contract term through August 31, 2027, and two renewal options extending through August 31, 2029. Bidders may identify Texas procurement preferences including Texas-manufactured goods, agricultural products, service-disabled veteran-owned businesses, and environmentally sensitive materials. The solicitation permits bidding on any combination of the seven line items; minimum order quantities apply to select products (100 cases for shaving cream). Required certifications include compliance with antitrust regulations, immigration laws, child support obligations, and mandatory disclosure of artificial intelligence systems to be used in contract performance and all individuals holding at least 25 percent ownership stake.
