UNSPSC 53131633: Barrettes

UNSPSC 53131633 Barrettes is a Commodity code covering hair accessories and related personal grooming items that state and local governments procure for cosmetology and barbering instructional programs in school districts. The code encompasses the full range of hair-styling supplies and equipment used in vocational training, including brushes, combs, styling kits, eyelash extension kits, curling irons, hair scissors, clippers, and related items. School districts are the primary issuing bodies under this code, acquiring barrettes and complementary cosmetology supplies through catalog bid procurements to stock classroom instruction labs. The procurement method typically uses discount-from-catalog requests to establish multi-vendor awarded lists, allowing instructional staff to source specific items based on value and availability rather than committing to a single supplier for all product categories.

Donna Independent School District in Cameron County, Texas, issued RFP 011326-894 on March 21, 2026, for cosmetology equipment and supplies with a response deadline of April 8, 2026. The district sought discount proposals off printed catalog prices for the 2026-2027 school year, with the contract term running September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2027, and options to extend for up to two additional one-year periods. Proposals could cover the vendor's entire printed catalog or specific product categories, with all pricing required to remain firm for the contract term. The district explicitly intended to award the bid to multiple vendors to provide flexibility in selecting vendors based on value for particular items. No minimum purchase quantities were guaranteed. All discount prices were required to include shipping and handling charges with F.O.B. Destination delivery unless otherwise negotiated.
