UNSPSC 25191753: Automatic or touchless carwash

Conveyor or tunnel washes involves the car moving on a conveyor belt through a series of fixed cleaning mechanisms while the customer waits outside. Friction (brushes or curtains) or frictionless (high pressure nozzles and touches wash) are used.

UNSPSC 25191753 Automatic or touchless carwash is a Commodity code representing self-service or automated vehicle cleaning systems that state and local governments procure for fleet maintenance and public-facing operations. Recent opportunities show the code captures two distinct market segments: on-site stationary carwash equipment (typically installed at fixed locations to enable independent fleet operator use) and mobile waterless or spray-based cleaning systems deployed across jurisdictions. The City of San Antonio Police Department issued an IFB on June 29, 2026 for annual monthly express carwash services for SAPD fleet vehicles with a July 13, 2026 response deadline; the solicitation emphasizes that services must enable secure independent use by SAPD personnel without requiring on-site vendor coordination. The State of New Jersey Department of the Treasury, Division of Purchase and Property posted a supplemental contract solicitation (26DPP01305) on May 22, 2026 with a July 30, 2026 deadline covering both brick-and-mortar vehicle washing and mobile vehicle washing and cleaning services across all 21 New Jersey counties, with a three-year term and optional three-year extension. Issuing bodies range from municipal police and public works departments to statewide purchasing agencies managing cooperative agreements for multi-county use.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas and New Jersey based on recent solicitations, though the code shows sparse overall volume. San Antonio and statewide New Jersey contracting represent the most substantial recent activity; no other states appear in the recent-opportunities block. The New Jersey procurement requires good faith efforts toward subcontracting with certified New Jersey Small Business Enterprises and mandates all-inclusive firm fixed unit pricing for mandatory service lines, with optional detail and oversized vehicle services available separately. The San Antonio Police Department IFB accommodates award decisions per substation, per group of substations, or citywide at the City's discretion, with a pre-bid conference scheduled July 2, 2026 via WebEx. Vendor registration through San Antonio's SAePS portal and the NJSTART electronic submission system are required for participation. The code shows limited recent procurement activity overall; most other records in the source describe vehicle maintenance facilities, portable hygiene stations, and fleet repair services that fall outside automatic carwash scope.
