UNSPSC 53131624: Adult Disposable personal care wipes

A single use, cloth or paper product used to clean the body. They may be provided individually, but are usually assembled in a multiple item container designed to dispense one wipe at a time.

UNSPSC 53131624 Adult Disposable Personal Care Wipes is a Commodity code that in practice encompasses reusable industrial and institutional cleaning textiles — specifically low-lint cotton rags procured by county governments for facilities maintenance and custodial operations. The recent solicitation activity under this code diverges sharply from the abstract code name; state and local buyers are purchasing 100% cotton flannel-weave rags in bulk (25-pound boxes) for general-purpose cleaning rather than single-use disposable wipes. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida issued a five-year ITB in July 2026 for cotton rags with specifications requiring bleached or unbleached material free of lint, chemicals, odors, and stains, with edge lengths between 10 and 24 inches, delivered to multiple County locations within 15 days of purchase order. The issuing body under this code appears to be county governments with significant facilities maintenance demand; no school districts, transit authorities, or state departments appear in the recent record.

The geographic focus is Florida, based on the Hillsborough County solicitation. The five-year Hillsborough County ITB (ITB2600351, due August 7, 2026) carried an estimated contract value of $160,000 with no minimum ordering guarantees and annual unit-price adjustments tied to CPI-U; bids were required to meet Florida Statute 287.087 drug-free workplace and E-Verify requirements, and questions were due by August 2, 2026 through the County's electronic bidding system. A second opportunity posted in May 2026 under this code — Sourcewell RFP 061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment on behalf of Washington-state participating counties — does not represent genuine purchasing activity in this commodity space and reflects a classification mismatch rather than actual demand for cotton rags or related textiles.
