NIGP 93442: Laundry and Dry Cleaning Equipment, Commercial, Maintenance and Repair

NIGP 93442 Laundry And Dry Cleaning Equipment, Commercial, Maintenance And Repair is an Item code encompassing preventive maintenance, emergency repair, parts procurement, and installation services for commercial and institutional laundry systems — washers, dryers, conveyors, sheet ironers, and related ancillary equipment. State and local governments procure these services to support operations at correctional facilities, state supported living centers, military installations, veterans homes, municipal laundries, school districts, and other institutional settings where high-volume laundry processing is central to facility operations. The issuing-body mix spans state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Military Department, Illinois Veterans Home), county governments (Pinellas County), cities (Philadelphia, Columbus), and state purchasing offices (New York State Purchasing Department). Representative recent solicitations include maintenance and repair of commercial laundry equipment at the Mexia State Supported Living Center (Texas HHSC, IFB HHS0017693, bids due August 14, 2026); quarterly preventive maintenance and repair of Milnor washers and dryers at Pinellas County Detention Center (ITB 260302ITB, bids due August 27, 2026); and laundry exhaust cleaning equipment maintenance at a New York State facility in Nassau County (ITFB 93442-10276-233, bids due October 27, 2026).

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas (HHSC maintenance contracts at multiple state supported living centers, TMD laundry equipment procurement, regional purchasing cooperative agreements) and is also present in New York, Illinois, Florida, Pennsylvania, and Georgia. The Texas HHSC contracts dominate the recent pipeline, including repair and parts services for sheet ironers at Richmond State Supported Living Center (IFB HHS0017554V3, bids due August 7, 2026) with historical annual spending of $85,000 and a three-year potential value, and the Mexia facility contract covering multiple equipment types with historical spend of $145,000 over a three-year period and a three-year contract term (September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2029). One-time capital equipment purchases with installation appear alongside recurring service contracts — Pontiac Correctional Center, Illinois, procured industrial washers and a dryer as a capital renewal project under a Small Business Set Aside (IFB B-54346, bids due October 13, 2026), while Philadelphia issued micro purchase quotes for washing machine installation and repairs (B2728000 and B2728155, response dates September 18 and October 9, 2026 respectively, each with $45,000 maximum value). Texas Military Department procurement of three natural gas dryers with installation and three-year warranty at the Texas ChalleNGe Academy (TMD26CHE0041563) required mandatory site visits and was due May 21, 2026. Multi-year laundry vent cleaning contracts, such as the Illinois Veterans Home Quincy four-year agreement (26497DVAQUINCB51958, bids due May 15, 2026), round out the activity mix. Evaluation criteria in service contracts frequently emphasize hourly labor rates during and outside normal business hours, parts markup caps (typically 20 percent maximum), response-time performance guarantees (often four-hour standard service, one-hour emergency response), and minimum qualifications including three to four years of relevant experience with verifiable references and comprehensive insurance requirements.
