UNSPSC 53131630: Lip balm

UNSPSC 53131630 Lip balm (Commodity) encompasses personal care products and harm reduction supplies that state and local governments procure for institutional use, correctional commissaries, and public health programs. Recent solicitations show the code applying to a broader category of personal hygiene and grooming items — including lip balm alongside shaving cream, antibacterial soap, feminine hygiene products, antifungal powder, and wound care supplies — rather than lip balm as a standalone product line. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code span county public health departments and state correctional systems; Boulder County Public Health and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (via the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division) appear as recent buyers seeking these products for direct distribution to beneficiaries or incarcerated populations.

Boulder County Public Health posted Solicitation PHI00326 on August 10, 2026, seeking harm reduction supplies vendors for safer injection, safer smoking, and wound care and skin protectant products, with proposals due September 11, 2026. The Texas Comptroller issued Invitation for Bids No. 304T-26-652A1.3 on June 2, 2026, procuring seven line items for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice Prison Commissaries Division — antifungal powder, shaving cream, hairbrushes, antibacterial bar soap, panty liners, sanitary napkins, and tampons — totaling over 32,000 cases quoted on a per-case basis for delivery to five statewide locations, with responses due May 26, 2026. Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Colorado; the Texas procurement permits bidders to claim state preferences for Texas-manufactured goods and service-disabled veteran-owned businesses, and requires firm fixed pricing inclusive of shipping and a 1.5% administrative fee, with initial contract term through August 31, 2027, and two renewal options extending through August 31, 2029.
