UNSPSC 53131643: Electric hair clipper

A small handheld personal grooming device.

UNSPSC 53131643 Electric hair clipper is a Commodity code that covers cordless and corded clippers with brushless motors, lithium-ion batteries, and precision-ground stainless-steel detachable blades for barbering and grooming operations. State and local governments buying under this code include city corrections departments and similar facilities that operate in-house barber services for incarcerated or resident populations. The scope encompasses complete clipper packages including charging stands, maintenance supplies (blade grease and oil), and power cords, with vendors required to supply new, unused equipment meeting manufacturer specifications and delivering documentation of compliance and specification sheets as a condition of bid responsiveness.

The City of Philadelphia Department of Prisons posted the only relevant recent opportunity under this code. In October 2026, the Department solicited quotes for sixty Oster Professional Cordless Classic 76 clippers or approved equivalents (Solicitation B2728219, quotes due October 27, 2026) as a micro purchase under the $45,000 ceiling, awarding to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder on a whole or line-item basis. The opportunity required FOB Destination pricing inclusive of all shipping and handling, 60-day price validity, and proof of required insurance coverage. No other recent state or local solicitations under this code appear in the source record; two concurrent opportunities from San Mateo County tagged to this code address veterinary supplies and are plainly unrelated to electric hair clippers, indicating potential data misclassification rather than legitimate scope overlap.
