UNSPSC 47121604: Wet or dry combination vacuum cleaners

UNSPSC 47121604 Wet or dry combination vacuum cleaners is a Commodity code that covers industrial and commercial wet-dry vacuum systems and related floor care equipment acquired by state and local governments for facility maintenance and specialized cleaning programs. Recent solicitations under this code reflect actual purchasing of standalone vacuum equipment alongside broader custodial equipment suites, carpet extraction systems, floor scrubbers, and associated maintenance services — not wet-dry vacuums in isolation. The issuing bodies include city governments, county school districts, state departments, and multi-entity cooperative purchasing consortia. Scope varies from direct equipment supply contracts to preventative maintenance and repair service agreements with hourly labor and parts allowances, with contracts frequently bundling vacuums alongside auto scrubbers, floor machines, and upright vacuum units as part of comprehensive facility cleaning programs.

Recent activity spans Florida, California, and Texas. The City of St. Petersburg, Florida issued IFB-26-307 in October 2026 for lead safety equipment including safety boots, compliance kits, and containment units (due October 13, 2026), though the vacuum-code tag appears incidental to that scope. Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida posted ITB 26131-MST in September 2026 for custodial equipment including approximately 400 upright vacuums, wet-dry vacuums, carpet extractors, and floor machines (bids due June 17, 2026; Addendum 26131ITBMST issued May 28, 2026). The California Department of Veterans Affairs solicited quotes in July 2026 for floor care equipment preventative maintenance and repair services at the Veterans Home of West Los Angeles, covering carpet extractors, auto scrubbers, floor machines, and vacuum equipment under a three-year contract (September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2029; quotes due August 4, 2026; limited to California Small Businesses and Micro Businesses with 3% DVBE participation requirement). Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas posted RFP CUS2628 in June 2026 for custodial supplies through a two-year cooperative purchasing catalog discount bid (estimated total expenditures $12,638,478.00; proposals due May 26, 2026).
