UNSPSC 53131635: Shaving brushes

UNSPSC 53131635 Shaving brushes is a Commodity code that captures personal grooming products procured by state and local governments, though recent solicitations under this code show a broader scope encompassing multiple hygiene and grooming items purchased in bulk for institutional use. State and local buyers under this code include county social services departments and state criminal justice agencies; the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice are standout recent purchasers. The work solicited includes hairbrushes, toothbrushes, shaving cream, and related grooming supplies bundled with personal hygiene products such as soap, deodorant, and feminine hygiene items. These purchases typically serve senior centers, detention facilities, and prison commissaries, with suppliers required to meet specific product specifications, provide references for similar scope, maintain liability insurance, and comply with state preference programs where applicable.

Recent activity appears concentrated in Georgia and Texas. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an informal written quote (IWQ) for household items on October 13, 2026, with a response due October 20, 2026, seeking 27 line items including toothbrushes, shaving supplies, and hygiene products for delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center by December 7, 2026, with award to the lowest responsive and responsible quote. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issued Invitation for Bids No. 304T-26-652A1.3 on June 2, 2026, for personal hygiene and grooming products for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice Prison Commissaries Division, encompassing seven line items (including shaving cream at 690 cases and hairbrushes at 172 cases) for statewide delivery to five Texas locations, with the response due May 26, 2026, an initial contract term through August 31, 2027, and two renewal options extending through August 31, 2029.
