UNSPSC 47111501: Laundry type combined washing or drying machines

UNSPSC 47111501 Laundry type combined washing or drying machines (Commodity) covers commercial-grade washers and dryers, including stackable units and specialized equipment for fire gear and industrial laundry operations at correctional facilities, university housing, dormitories, and public institutions. State and local procurement activity spans equipment procurement, installation, preventative maintenance contracts, and facility conversions; recent solicitations show demand for both new appliance supply and multi-year service agreements that bundle equipment with maintenance labor, parts, and emergency response.

Issuing bodies include university systems (Texas A&M University System, Florida Atlantic University, San Diego State University via Aztec Shops), county sheriffs and probation departments (Orange County, California; Ada County, Idaho), state departments (Texas Military Department, California Department of General Services, Maine Department of Administrative and Financial Services), municipal agencies (City of Decatur, Georgia), community colleges (Mt. Hood Community College), and cooperative purchasing vehicles (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas, Sourcewell in Minnesota/Washington). Activity concentrates in Texas, California, Florida, and Maine, with scattered solicitations in Colorado, Georgia, Idaho, and Oregon. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Military Department's May 2026 IFB for three 120-pound natural gas dryers with installation and three-year warranty at the Texas ChalleNGe Academy in Eagle Lake; California Department of General Services' May 2026 RFB for commercial washers, dryers, and stacking kits under a multiple award schedule framework; County of Orange Sheriff-Coroner Department's April 2026 IFB for industrial laundry equipment maintenance and repairs across correctional facilities; and Florida Atlantic University's February 2026 ITN for comprehensive residential student housing laundry services covering 5,800 students across 152 laundry rooms and 390 in-unit sets, with service commencing July 2026. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative issued a June 2026 RFP for custodial supplies with $12.6 million in estimated two-year spending, and similar cooperative awards suggest established statewide contracts with significant volumes. Preference set-asides appear in Orange County and Maine procurement, with five to eight percent deductions for local small business and veteran-owned certifications where applicable.
