UNSPSC 53131634: Chemical protection products

UNSPSC 53131634 Chemical protection products is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity covers cosmetology and personal-care equipment and supplies for educational use. The Donna Independent School District in Cameron County, Texas, issued an RFP in March 2026 for cosmetology equipment and supplies including brushes, combs, manikins, hair styling kits, eyelash extension kits, curling irons, nail colors, practice hands, hair scissors, barber jackets, and related classroom instruction materials under a catalog discount bid method for the 2026–2027 school year. School districts appear to be the primary issuing body soliciting under this code, procuring supplies and equipment for vocational or career and technical education programs. The scope spans both consumable supplies and durable equipment, with vendors expected to offer discounts off printed catalog pricing and include shipping to district locations.

The recent activity is concentrated in Texas, with Donna ISD's solicitation the primary visible opportunity. The RFP was posted March 21, 2026, with proposals due April 8, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. through the Bonfire platform or by hand delivery to the district's purchasing office in Donna, Texas. The district intends to award multiple vendors to provide flexibility in sourcing by product category and value, with no guaranteed minimum purchase quantities. Vendors must provide customer references from the past five years, maintain appropriate insurance naming the district as additional insured, and provide compliant documentation including W-9, debarment certification, and Texas conflict-of-interest forms. The contract term runs through August 31, 2027, with optional extensions for up to two additional one-year periods, and all pricing must remain firm for the initial contract period.
