UNSPSC 53131642: Barber and salon hair cutting gown or cape

Soft neckline with extra strong snap closure to prevent hair or hair products from touching cloth.

UNSPSC 53131642 Barber and salon hair cutting gown or cape is a Commodity code that captures personal protective apparel and supplies used in barbering and salon operations. The recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal direct solicitation for the product itself. Instead, the opportunities posted reveal that state and local issuing bodies are sourcing related aesthetic and grooming services and supplies as part of broader consumables and facilities contracts. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted two IFBs for food service and facility consumables at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center that bundle hairnets (a salon-adjacent supply) alongside kitchen items and food containers, suggesting that beauty and grooming supplies are purchased as subordinate line items within larger institutional procurement. Fulton County, Georgia is soliciting cosmetology, barbering, and nail technician services for seniors under an ITB, but this opportunity centers on service delivery rather than the sale of protective apparel or capes themselves.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia based on recent postings. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears as a repeat issuer, with two consumables solicitations posted in August and October 2026 for the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (ITB HHS0018082, due October 23, 2026, and IFB HHS0017872, due August 25, 2026). Fulton County, Georgia issued ITB 26ITB1691317A-JWT for cosmetology and aesthetic services, due November 10, 2026. The code shows limited direct procurement for barber and salon hair cutting gowns or capes as standalone products in state and local markets; the opportunities that do reference salon-related supplies embed them within food service or facility consumables contracts rather than framing them as primary procurement objects, suggesting this Commodity code may see minimal independent activity or may be underutilized by issuing bodies that bundle these items under broader family or class codes.
