UNSPSC 53131629: Makeup kits

UNSPSC 53131629 Makeup kits is a Commodity code covering personal hygiene and grooming products sourced by state and local governments for institutional resale, inmate commissaries, and direct workforce or population use. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice's recent procurement through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division illustrates the scope: antifungal powder, shaving cream, hairbrushes, antibacterial bar soap, panty liners, sanitary napkins, and tampons sold in bulk cases to prison commissaries across multiple facilities. State departments and prison systems appear to be the primary buyers under this code, with acquisitions structured as standing contracts supporting ongoing retail resale to incarcerated populations and institutional residents. Products must meet detailed specification requirements including active-ingredient formulations, container types, and packaging quantities; bar coding using UPCA, UPCE, or Code 39 formats is mandatory for scanner compatibility with institutional inventory systems.

The Texas opportunity posted June 2, 2026, with a response deadline of May 26, 2026, represents one of the few recent solicitations tagged to this code. The Texas Comptroller's Invitation for Bids (IFB) calls for statewide delivery to five primary locations in Texas (Beeville, Huntsville, Rosharon, and Snyder), with firm fixed pricing inclusive of shipping, handling, fuel surcharges, and a 1.5% Texas SmartBuy administrative fee; minimum commercial general liability insurance of $500,000 per occurrence is required. The initial contract term runs through August 31, 2027, with two renewal options extending through August 31, 2029. Respondents may identify eligibility for Texas state procurement preferences including Texas-manufactured goods, service-disabled veteran-owned businesses, and environmentally sensitive materials, though no mandatory set-asides are specified. The solicitation permits bidding on any combination of the seven line items, with no reserve prices or total contract budget disclosed.
