UNSPSC 53131646: Blackhead remover

A small metal implement used to aid in removing blackheads, or comedones. Most comedo extractors have metal loops on either end, although some extractors may have a small lance on one end.

UNSPSC 53131646 Blackhead remover (Commodity) is tagged in state and local school district solicitations for cosmetology and personal-care equipment and supplies, though the recent opportunities show little direct procurement of blackhead removers themselves; instead, districts are buying broader categories of cosmetology training equipment, small kitchen and food-service equipment, and related supplies. The issuing bodies are school districts — specifically independent school districts and consolidated district systems that operate career and technical education (CTE) programs or child nutrition services — acquiring equipment for classroom instruction, training labs, and cafeteria operations. The scope includes manikins, styling tools, nail kits, hair clippers, shears, barber capes, practice hands, and kitchen utensils alongside cleaning supplies and food-service trays under single blanket or catalog-discount awards intended to support multiple vendors and allow staff flexibility in sourcing specific items.

Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) posted an IFB on March 31, 2026 (due April 28, 2026) for approximately 100 line items of child nutrition small equipment and supplies for the 2026–2027 school year, with awards to multiple vendors for primary and secondary sourcing across food storage, preparation, and service items; Donna Independent School District (Cameron County, Texas) issued RFP 011326894 on March 21, 2026 (due April 8, 2026) for cosmetology equipment and supplies under a catalog discount bid method for the 2026–2027 school year, with intent to award multiple vendors. Both districts prioritize domestic goods where feasible and commit to affirmative inclusion of minority-owned and women-owned enterprises without formal set-asides. Activity appears concentrated in school districts in Texas and Missouri; no repeat solicitations under this specific code appear in the recent block. The code shows limited direct activity and may reflect tagging drift — cosmetology and food-service equipment procurement by school districts is the relevant signal, not blackhead removers specifically.
