NIGP 37075: Washing Machine, Fruit and Vegetable

NIGP Item 37075 Washing Machine, Fruit And Vegetable covers commercial-grade laundry equipment procurement by state and local jurisdictions, though recent solicitation activity shows the code capturing institutional and residential laundry operations beyond the legacy category title. State and local bodies currently procuring under this Item seek either full-service leased equipment with ongoing maintenance and operation (as in multi-family housing contexts) or equipment replacement with installation and removal services (as in corrections facilities). Issuing bodies include housing authorities, state departments of corrections, and other institutional operators managing laundry operations for their populations. Vendors typically supply new or like-new commercial equipment meeting energy efficiency and accessibility standards, handle site assessment and utility coordination, manage preventative and emergency maintenance, and provide reporting or revenue-tracking systems when appropriate to the engagement model.

Recent activity spans California and Utah. The Housing Authority of the City of Alameda posted RFP 2026RFPAHAPO002 on July 13, 2026, due August 1, 2026, seeking proposals for leased coinless, mobile app-enabled washers and dryers (28 washers and 33 dryers) across six multi-family residential properties with full-service operations, preventative maintenance, and 24-hour emergency repair commitments. The State of Utah Department of Corrections, Central Utah Correctional Facility, posted IFB MD26-19 on May 22, 2026, due June 1, 2026, for two 160-pound large-capacity washing machine-extractors with delivery, installation, and removal of existing equipment at the Gunnison facility, with a project budget of approximately $83,000 and completion required by June 30, 2026.
