BISS

Business Industrial & Scientific Supplies (BISS) is a distinct product category on Amazon tailored to professional buyers in industries such as manufacturing, laboratories, healthcare, construction, energy, and logistics.

This category includes products like:

• Lab and scientific equipment
• Safety and personal protective gear (PPE)
• Tools and testing instruments
• Facility maintenance supplies
• Heavy-duty industrial components

BISS is especially relevant for:

• B2B buyers on the Amazon Business platform
• Government, educational, and healthcare institutions
• Third-party sellers and vendors offering wholesale, compliant, or regulatory-grade products

Why it matters:

• Products in the BISS category often have higher average order values (AOV) and repeat purchase rates
• It opens access to Amazon’s industrial buyer network
• Requires meeting specific compliance and safety requirements
• Often supports bulk pricing and quantity discounts

💡 Example: A supplier of chemical-resistant gloves lists under BISS to target hospitals and cleanrooms looking to purchase in volume via Amazon Business.

In short: BISS is Amazon’s category for industrial and scientific goods - connecting sellers with professional and institutional buyers in need of technical-grade products.
