UNSPSC 57030304: Sudden-onset wash & dignity kit

One of the first to be deployed in a sudden-onset emergency, including buckets, soap and water purification tablets, menstrual hygiene management items including multi-purpose cloth and pads. Items like whistles and torches address protection needs for the vulnerable.

UNSPSC 57030304 Sudden-onset wash & dignity kit is a Commodity code covering personal hygiene and care products that state and local governments procure for vulnerable populations, institutional settings, and emergency response. State and local buyers use this code for supplies including deodorants, toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoos, conditioners, dental floss, incontinence products, and infant diapers—typically in bulk cases or multipacks for distribution through social services departments, detention facilities, or emergency management agencies. Issuing bodies include county purchasing offices (Gwinnett County, Bernalillo County), state-level cooperative-purchasing programs (California Department of General Services), and departmental buyers within county social services and corrections operations. The code reflects procurement driven by statutory mandates to provide hygiene supplies to inmates, seniors, and recipients of emergency assistance or social services.

Recent activity spans Georgia, California, and New Mexico. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an informal written quote (IWQ) on October 13, 2026, for household items—personal hygiene products, incontinence supplies, and infant diapers—due October 20, 2026, specifying 27 line items for delivery by December 7, 2026, to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center. The California Department of General Services released a cooperative purchasing master-agreement solicitation on August 19, 2026, for personal care products through TSPECS, with bids due September 10, 2026, establishing per-unit pricing for soaps, shampoos, conditioners, lotions, deodorants, and toothpaste available to multiple state and local entities on an as-needed basis. Bernalillo County Purchasing Section issued an RFB on July 15, 2026, for personal care products for detention and youth services facilities, due July 30, 2026. All three solicitations reflect institutional and social-services demand; California's cooperative structure and Gwinnett's senior-services focus illustrate the dual-use pattern under this code.
