UNSPSC 53131629: Makeup kits

UNSPSC 53131629 Makeup kits (Commodity) describes personal care products state and local governments procure for institutional use, though recent solicitations show the code encompasses a broader range of personal hygiene and grooming items than the code name alone suggests. State and local buyers under this code include county public health departments and state corrections agencies purchasing through central procurement divisions. Boulder County Public Health and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ), the primary customer in a statewide procurement managed by the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, represent the issuing-body mix. Work solicited includes harm reduction supplies for public health programs and personal hygiene products for resale through prison commissaries—spanning items such as safer injection and smoking supplies, wound care products, shaving cream, antibacterial soap, hairbrushes, and feminine hygiene products.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Colorado. Boulder County Public Health issued RFQ PHI00326 for harm reduction supplies vendors, with proposals due September 11, 2026. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issued Invitation for Bids 304T-26-652A1.3 for personal hygiene and grooming products in June 2026, with a response deadline of May 26, 2026 (submitted by addendum on May 12, 2026), encompassing seven line items including antifungal powder, shaving cream, hairbrushes, antibacterial bar soap, panty liners, sanitary napkins, and tampons for delivery to five primary locations in Texas and resale through TDCJ prison commissaries. The Texas procurement permits responses on any combination of available products with no mandatory set-asides, though respondents may identify preferences including Texas-manufactured goods, agricultural products, service-disabled veteran-owned businesses, and environmentally sensitive materials. All TDCJ products required firm fixed pricing inclusive of shipping and a 1.5% administrative fee, sample submissions at bidder expense, and bar coding compliance; the initial contract term runs through August 31, 2027 with two renewal options through August 31, 2029.
