UNSPSC 47111700: Dry cleaning equipment

UNSPSC 47111700 Dry cleaning equipment is a Class code under which state and local governments procure laundry equipment and related services for institutional facilities, particularly correctional institutions. The scope of work includes the acquisition and servicing of commercial-grade laundering machines suitable for high-volume operations. Issuing bodies under this code include state departments operating secure facilities and institutions with significant laundry requirements; the Massachusetts Department of Corrections has recently posted solicitations in this area. State and local procurement activity under the code typically requires vendors to meet security clearance requirements (such as PREA certification for correctional settings) and, in the case of Massachusetts, comply with mandatory supplier diversity program participation benchmarks.

Recent activity centers on the Northeast, with the Massachusetts Department of Corrections posting an IFB for laundering machines (solicitation 26-DOC-1000) on February 2, 2026, with response due March 16, 2026. The Massachusetts solicitation mandates submission of a Supplier Diversity Program Plan Form committing bidders to a minimum of 1% of total contract sales through certified diverse business partners (MBE, WBE, SDVOBE, VBE, DOBE, LGBTBE), and requires PREA clearance as a prerequisite for contract performance. Vendors must also submit authorized signatory documentation and acknowledge receipt of all bid materials through the COMMBUYS platform. The solicitation does not disclose specific budget ranges or award values in publicly available materials; prospective bidders should consult the complete RFR for detailed evaluation criteria and contract terms.
