UNSPSC 53131625: Hair or beard nets

UNSPSC 53131625 Hair or beard nets, a Commodity code, covers the supply of disposable hairnets and related protective head coverings for food service, hospitality, healthcare, and similar institutional settings where hygiene protocols require hair containment. State and local governments purchase hairnets as consumable supplies for cafeterias, kitchens, dining facilities, and food-service operations at health and human services facilities, school districts, and correctional or residential institutions. The code appears primarily in bundled food-service and consumables solicitations rather than as a standalone item, where hairnets are typically one line item among dozens of food containers, utensils, napkins, straws, and related supplies ordered in bulk for annual or multi-year use.

Recent opportunities show issuing bodies concentrated in Texas state agencies and California school districts. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for consumables and noncontract food items at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (posted August 11, 2026, due August 25, 2026, and October 16, 2026, due October 23, 2026), both citing hairnets among 20–22 line items with estimated annual usage of 1–24 cases per item and requiring F.O.B. Destination pricing with freight prepaid. The Conejo Valley Unified School District in Ventura County, California issued RFP 2026-03 for paper products and food-service supplies on April 23, 2026, due May 14, 2026, spanning 180 line items across foodstuff distribution to 29 schools serving over 15,000 students, though the specific line-item detail does not explicitly name hairnets in the summary. The geographic spread is limited in the recent record to Texas and California. Volumes are typically modest — single-case or low-double-digit annual quantities per purchasing entity — and prices are competitive, with awards often going to established food-service and janitorial-supply distributors already holding institutional accounts.
