NIGP 04592: Washers and Dryers, Coin-Operated Type

NIGP 04592 Washers And Dryers, Coin-Operated Type is an Item code covering laundry equipment that state and local governments procure for facilities requiring self-service or institutional washing and drying capacity. Based on recent solicitation activity, the code captures acquisitions of coin-operated laundry machinery — typically heavy-duty, commercial-grade units — for use in correctional facilities, public housing, municipal maintenance facilities, and other government-operated properties where residents or employees need access to laundry services. Issuing bodies under this code span state departments, counties, and special-purpose districts; the recent activity shows cooperative purchasing vehicles such as Sourcewell playing a coordinating role to aggregate demand across multiple jurisdictions and entity types, including K-12 school districts, higher education institutions, and tribal governments alongside traditional county and municipal buyers.

Sourcewell, a Minnesota-based local government cooperative, posted RFP #061626 Law Enforcement Equipment on May 12, 2026, with a response deadline of June 16, 2026. Though the RFP title references law enforcement, the cooperative procurement structure encompasses participation from Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima Counties in Washington state and numerous other jurisdictions throughout the United States and Canada. Vendors interested in this opportunity must register on the Sourcewell Procurement Portal at https://proportal.sourcewell-mn.gov to access solicitation documents and submit proposals. Questions should be directed to Mari Vielma at rfp@sourcewell-mn.gov or 888-894-1930. The resulting contracts will be reserved for potential future utilization through a participating addendum with Sourcewell, allowing flexibility in deployment across public sector organizations seeking standardized contracting terms for law enforcement and related facility equipment.
