UNSPSC 47121606: Carpet sweepers

UNSPSC 47121606 Carpet sweepers, a Commodity code, covers the supply of manual and powered floor-cleaning equipment that state and local governments procure as capital goods and supplies for facilities maintenance and custodial operations. Recent solicitations under this code show state and local buyers acquiring carpet sweepers alongside related custodial equipment—vacuums, floor machines, auto scrubbers, and specialty cleaning apparatus—as line items in larger equipment packages rather than as standalone purchases. Issuing bodies span school districts, state departments of transportation, municipal housing authorities, water districts, and special-purpose cooperatives. The work is neither cleaning services nor janitorial labor; it is the procurement of durable equipment that custodial staff operate to maintain carpeted and hard-floor surfaces in government facilities.

Activity appears across multiple states and regions. Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida) issued an ITB on September 21, 2026, for custodial equipment including upright vacuums (400 units), floor machines, and related apparatus, with bids due June 17, 2026. The Eastern Municipal Water District in Riverside County, California, solicited proposals (RFP 3935, due June 3, 2026) for districtwide carpet cleaning and maintenance services across 97,478 square feet at three facilities, with a mandatory pre-proposal conference on May 20, 2026. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas issued a catalog discount bid (CUS2628, due May 26, 2026) for custodial supplies to member organizations statewide, with an estimated two-year volume of $12.6 million across 33 previous awards. The Community Development Authority of the City of Madison, Wisconsin solicited bids (RFB 15050-0-2026-AH, due July 17, 2026) for carpet removal and installation of 2,800 square feet of commercial carpet tile at Karabis Apartments, requiring Davis-Bacon wage compliance. Caltrans in California also posted janitorial services work (IFB 04A7589, due September 24, 2026) with a mandatory site visit, though that opportunity focuses on labor-intensive janitorial operations rather than equipment supply. The code sees recent activity in Florida, California, Texas, and Wisconsin, with cooperative purchasing vehicles and multi-year district-level contracts representing the largest volume opportunities.
