UNSPSC 47111502: Laundry type washing machines

UNSPSC 47111502 Laundry type washing machines is a Commodity code that encompasses the supply, installation, and maintenance of commercial and residential washing equipment serving educational institutions, correctional facilities, university housing, and public agencies. State and local governments procure washers as standalone equipment, as part of integrated laundry room systems with dryers and support infrastructure, and bundled with maintenance and repair services that sustain operational uptime. The mix of issuing bodies includes state university systems, county corrections and probation departments, Florida public universities, city and county facilities management offices, and special-purpose district procurement cooperatives. Recent solicitations span equipment procurement (new and replacement units), installation labor, and multi-year service agreements combining leasing, preventive maintenance, emergency response, and technology integration for cardless payment systems.

Activity concentrates in Texas, California, Florida, Maine, and Oregon, with cooperative purchasing vehicles (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's custodial supply catalogs, Sourcewell's law enforcement equipment master agreement) extending reach to multiple jurisdictions within and across states. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas A&M University System's June 2026 ITB for Reed House appliances (bids due July 7, 2026); the Texas Military Department's May 2026 IFB for three 120-pound natural gas dryers and installation at the Texas ChalleNGe Academy in Eagle Lake, with mandatory site visits and a three-year warranty requirement; the California Department of General Services' May 2026 RFB for BHC washers and dryers under a multiple award schedule; the State of Maine's May 2026 RFQ for fire gear washer and dryer units (Circul-Air models) with NFPA 1851 compliance, delivery, and installation by May 22, 2026; the County of Orange (California) Probation Department's May 2026 IFB for routine maintenance and repairs of industrial Speed Queen and B&C equipment at two facilities, offering a five percent local small business preference; Florida Gulf Coast University's March 2026 ITN for card-accessible commercial laundry equipment across nine student laundry rooms under a commission-based revenue-sharing model with Transact Campus payment integration; and Florida Atlantic University's February 2026 ITN for residential housing laundry services across 5,800 students on Boca Raton and Jupiter campuses with a five-to-ten-year contract structure.
