UNSPSC 53131701: Hand held massaging unit

A massaging devicethat the individual can hold and use on self.

UNSPSC 53131701 Hand held massaging unit (Commodity) covers personal-care and wellness equipment that state and local governments acquire primarily for vocational and occupational training programs, though the code's nominal scope does not align closely with the recent solicitation activity. Donna Independent School District in Cameron County, Texas posted RFP #011326-894 in March 2026 for cosmetology equipment and supplies under a multi-vendor catalog discount bid model, requesting items including brushes, combs, manikins, hair styling kits, curling irons, shear kits, nail kits, practice hands, and clippers for classroom instruction. The solicitation specifies F.O.B. Destination delivery with shipping included in pricing, a contract term from September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027 with two optional one-year renewals, and evaluation based on selection, service, and price. The district does not guarantee minimum purchase volumes and intends to award to multiple vendors to provide staff flexibility in sourcing specific items.

Recent state and local activity under the code is sparse and concentrated in Texas. The single identified recent opportunity—Donna ISD's RFP for cosmetology supplies—reflects the code's primary use in school-district vocational and occupational training contexts, particularly for equipment and consumables supporting cosmetology and personal-services curricula. The response deadline for the Donna ISD solicitation was April 8, 2026 at 10:00 A.M., with proposals submitted through the Bonfire platform or by hand delivery to the Donna ISD Purchasing Department. Vendors must provide customer references from the past five years, comply with all federal, state, and local laws, maintain insurance naming the district as an additional insured, and complete all required compliance documentation including a Deviations Form, Felony Conviction Notice Form, Debarment or Suspension Certification, Form W-9, Conflict of Interest Questionnaire, and Form 1295 Certificate of Interested Parties. The RFP documentation does not specify set-aside designations or budget ranges.
