UNSPSC 25191749: Car wash/cleaning equipment

A car wash or auto wash is a facility used to clean the exterior and in some cases the interior of motor vehicles. Car washes can be self-service, full-service (with attendants who wash the vehicle), or fully automated (possibly connected to a gas station).

UNSPSC 25191749 Car wash/cleaning equipment, a Commodity code, covers pressure washing systems, trailer-mounted cleaning rigs, and automated wash bay installations that state and local governments procure for fleet and facility maintenance. Recent activity shows state and local buyers soliciting both equipment purchases and integrated installation services—from standalone pressure washers to complex custom trailer systems with hot water delivery, chemical injection, and remote controls—alongside ongoing pressure cleaning and detailing services for vehicles and infrastructure. The mix of issuing bodies includes state departments of transportation, county water resources and purchasing departments, city infrastructure and transit authorities, school districts, and regional agencies. Florida accounts for the heaviest recent activity, with Sarasota County, Pinellas County Schools, and the City of Pembroke Pines posting multiple pressure washing equipment and service solicitations; Missouri Department of Transportation, Georgia (Cobb County Schools, Gwinnett County), and Indiana (Indianapolis Public Transportation Corporation) round out the active buyers. Service contracts—encompassing pressure washing of scalehouse facilities, boardwalks, sidewalks, and bus fleets—dominate the recent opportunity stream alongside equipment procurements for specialized rigs.
