UNSPSC 53131626: Hand sanitizer

UNSPSC 53131626 Hand sanitizer is a Commodity code covering sanitizing and hygiene products that state and local governments procure for facilities operations, employee and resident use, and institutional supply chains. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show mixed scope — some opportunities target hand sanitizer specifically, while others bundle sanitizer within broader hygiene-product or custodial-supply procurements. Issuing bodies soliciting under the code span school districts, county government, transit authorities, and municipal purchasing offices. The Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority, Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (Fire Rescue Department), Cobb County School District, and City of Bridgeport's Board of Education represent the mix of institutional buyers. Madison County Schools in Georgia and the Ohio Department of Administrative Services also appear in recent postings.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast and Midwest. Georgia, Ohio, Florida, Connecticut, and Texas show the most recent postings. Representative opportunities include Madison County Schools in Georgia issuing RFP CSUP 05-26 on May 4, 2026, for custodial supplies including hand sanitizer with dispensers across eight school facilities, with proposals due June 2, 2026; the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut, requesting paper and cleaning products through June 30, 2026, with janitorial supplies (including disinfectants) for 35 school sites; Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issuing ITB 26-00319 on July 7, 2026, for consumable janitorial and operational supplies to support 47 fire stations 24/7, estimated at $765,679.84 for one year; and the Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority soliciting heavy-duty soap on a purchase-order basis due August 3, 2026. Several Ohio postings appear sparse in available detail. The code shows consistent institutional demand but moderate velocity — most recent opportunities cluster in the May–October 2026 window with tight turnaround timelines (often one to three days between posting and due date).
