UNSPSC 25191740: Vehicle washing machine

An external cleansing system that washes the exterior of auto, bus and truck vehicles.

UNSPSC 25191740 Vehicle washing machine is a Commodity code covering equipment for automated or semi-automated washing of vehicles. State and local governments are currently soliciting both purchase and maintenance of car wash and pressure washing equipment — ranging from turnkey trailer-mounted systems to retrofit installations in existing facilities — as well as ongoing operational services for fleet and facility cleaning. The issuing bodies span state highway departments, county road and water authorities, municipal utilities, school districts, and transit agencies. Equipment purchases typically target bus fleets, highway patrol vehicles, and municipal vehicle pools; maintenance contracts cover everything from routine chemical and pump servicing to complete system overhauls. Counties and school districts dominate the maintenance and service side, while state departments of transportation and specialized authorities (transit commissions, utility districts) drive equipment purchases.

The code shows substantial recent activity across California, Florida, Georgia, and Rhode Island. The California Department of Highway Patrol has posted three separate invitations for bids on car wash and pit pumping maintenance at regional offices (IFB 26C345005 at Hayward with closing June 10, 2026; IFB 26C625000 at El Centro with closing July 29, 2026; IFB 26C222002 at Truckee with closing July 31, 2026), all under prevailing-wage frameworks with small/micro business preferences and DVBE incentive participation available. The Savannah Airport Commission issued RFQ 2026-0024 for one custom trailer-mounted pressure washing system with closing July 23, 2026, requiring bidders to maintain parts and service availability within 50 miles of Savannah. Sarasota County posted a Quick Quote (2026QQ771) on July 10, 2026 for a pressure washing water trailer with dust abatement, due July 17, 2026. The State of Maine is requesting quotations for a pressure HP pressure washer under RFQ rfq260630-0327 with closing July 15, 2026.

School districts in Florida (Pinellas County School Board, Cobb County School District) and Michigan (Livingston Educational Service Agency) are seeking pressure cleaning services, hood cleaning, and bus wash system installations. Service and maintenance work dominates the Florida activity, with Pinellas County School District, Seminole County, and the City of Pembroke Pines issuing multiple solicitations for pressure washing and surface cleaning of facilities and municipal infrastructure. Florida also shows kitchen hood cleaning procurement (Pinellas County School District ITB 26-JG-012, due June 23, 2026). Equipment purchases and turnkey installations are concentrated in the upper Midwest and Southeast, while routine maintenance contracts cluster in Florida and California.
