UNSPSC 47121604: Wet or dry combination vacuum cleaners

UNSPSC 47121604 Wet or dry combination vacuum cleaners is a Commodity code covering specialized cleaning equipment used across school districts, counties, universities, and municipal facilities. State and local buyers under this code procure vacuum cleaners as line items within broader custodial supplies and equipment contracts rather than as standalone dedicated procurements. Recent activity shows these machines embedded in comprehensive cleaning-supply catalogs, floor machine parts agreements, and janitorial-equipment consolidated buys—for example, the Polk County School Board's November 2025 ITB for custodial cleaning supplies included vacuum cleaners as part of 97 line items ranging from 5 to 20,000 units, with nine vendors awarded shares of a $242,309.49 total contract. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with secondary activity from purchasing cooperatives that aggregate demand across multiple member entities, universities, and municipal departments. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas has issued multiple catalog discount RFPs for custodial supplies over the past three years (CUS2223, CUS2324, CUS2628), with estimated expenditures ranging from $5.2 million to $12.6 million across multi-year terms, suggesting that cooperative purchasing vehicles represent a significant consolidation point for vacuum cleaner demand.

Recent opportunities cluster in Texas, Florida, Georgia, and Connecticut. The Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's most recent solicitation (CUS2628, posted June 22, 2026, due May 26, 2026) seeks custodial-supply catalog vendors through an RFP mechanism for a two-year contract running June 2026 through June 2028, with an estimated $12.6 million in total expenditures and 33 prior awards indicating an established vendor base; bidders must integrate with the cooperative's online ordering platform at https://purchasing.esc7.net and respond by 1:30 p.m. on May 26, 2026, with board approval scheduled for June 18, 2026. The Pinellas County School District in Largo, Florida issued ITB #26-AM-002 (due February 20, 2026) for floor machine parts from 16 OEM manufacturer lines, estimated at $60,000 annually, with Florida's 5 percent in-state price preference and board approval set for March 31, 2026. Jackson County School System in Georgia posted an RFCSP (April 28, 2026 deadline) for a custodial supplies and support program with a mandatory pre-proposal meeting on April 7, 2026 in Commerce, Georgia. The Marion County School Board in Ocala, Florida solicited a ten-month janitorial and sanitary paper supplies contract (ITB #4152AM, due January 14, 2026) covering 95 line items for delivery to their central warehouse, with contract award at the February 24, 2026 board meeting and term running March 1 through December 31, 2026.
