UNSPSC 53131636: Rose water

UNSPSC 53131636 Rose water is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity covers personal hygiene, grooming, and health-support products sourced by public agencies for internal use, resale, or community health programs. The code encompasses items ranging from antifungal and antibacterial products to sanitary supplies, shaving cream, and wound care items. State and local issuing bodies under this code include county public health departments and statewide procurement divisions acting on behalf of correctional agencies and other state service operations. The purchasing pattern reflects demand from agencies managing inmate commissaries, harm reduction programs, and health-related procurement for vulnerable populations.

Boulder County Public Health in Colorado and the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice represent the geographic and issuing-body spread in recent activity. Boulder County posted Harm Reduction Supplier for Public Health (PHI00326) on August 10, 2026, with responses due September 11, 2026, seeking safer injection, safer smoking, and wound care and skin protectant products. The Texas Comptroller issued Invitation for Bids No. 304T-26-652A1.3 on June 2, 2026, for seven line items totaling over 32,000 cases of personal hygiene goods—antifungal powder, shaving cream, hairbrushes, antibacterial bar soap, panty liners, sanitary napkins, and tampons—with firm pricing due May 26, 2026, and contract terms running through August 31, 2027, with two renewal options. The Texas solicitation permits identification of state procurement preferences including Texas-manufactured goods, service-disabled veteran-owned businesses, and environmentally sensitive materials, and requires $500,000 commercial general liability insurance and a 1.5% administrative fee. Recent activity centers on Colorado and Texas; whether the code reflects broader regional or national procurement patterns remains unclear from available opportunity data.
