UNSPSC 53131620: Perfumes or colognes or fragrances

UNSPSC 53131620 Perfumes or colognes or fragrances (Commodity) shows minimal alignment with actual state and local purchasing activity under this code. The two recent opportunities tagged to this classification — Boulder County Public Health's harm reduction supplies solicitation (Aug 2026) and the Texas Comptroller's personal hygiene and grooming products IFB for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (Jun 2026) — center on wound care, sanitary products, shaving cream, antibacterial soap, and antifungal powder rather than fragrances. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the source systems or that state and local procurement offices are using this fragrance code as a catch-all for broader personal care and hygiene categories. Neither opportunity represents a traditional fragrance procurement.

The issuing bodies span a county public health department and a statewide correctional purchasing division, with geographic activity limited to Colorado and Texas in the recent record. The Texas TDCJ opportunity is the larger procurement, specifying seven line items (antifungal powder, shaving cream, hairbrushes, antibacterial soap, panty liners, sanitary napkins, and tampons) for resale through prison commissaries with delivery to five Texas locations, firm fixed pricing including a 1.5 percent Texas SmartBuy administrative fee, an initial term through August 31, 2027, and two renewal options extending through August 31, 2029. Boulder County's harm reduction suppliers RFP (due Sep 11, 2026) covers safer injection, safer smoking, and wound care products with no line-item detail or quantities disclosed. No recent fragrance-specific solicitations appear in the available record.
