UNSPSC 47121805: Pressure or steam cleaners

UNSPSC 47121805 Pressure or steam cleaners (Commodity) covers trailer-mounted and standalone pressure washing equipment and related system components that state and local governments procure for facility maintenance, infrastructure cleaning, and specialized industrial degreasing. State and local buyers under this code are acquiring complete pressure washing systems with integrated water delivery, chemical injection, and recovery capabilities—not pressure washer units in isolation. Recent solicitations show governments purchasing custom-configured trailers mounting multiple washing modules (hot water pressure units at 3,000–3,500 PSI paired with soft-wash systems), integrated tank capacity (500–525 gallons for water, plus separate chemical and bleach tanks), hose reels, surface cleaners, and onsite operator and maintenance training as part of equipment delivery. Issuing bodies span county facilities departments, municipal public works, airport authorities, school districts, and state-equivalent local government units. Counties and cities dominate the recent activity, with Sarasota County, the City of Atlanta, Savannah Airport Commission, San Mateo County, the City of Pembroke Pines, and Greenville County all posting solicitations between February and July 2026. School districts including Harlingen Consolidated ISD and Klein ISD have also solicited pressure washing services bundled with maintenance contracts.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic (Florida, Georgia, South Carolina) and California, with additional weight in Texas through school district procurement. Sarasota County issued a Quick Quote on July 10, 2026 (due July 17, 2026) for a pressure washing water trailer with dust abatement, specifying a 500-gallon tank, 3 GPM triplex pump at 2,700 PSI, transfer pump for dust control, tandem axle frame, and one-year warranty plus on-site training.

San Mateo County Department of Public Works issued an RFP on May 14, 2026 (due May 20, 2026) for as-needed pressure washing and window washing services across county facilities with a potential five-year term and up to $2,000,000 aggregate obligation, requiring prevailing wage compliance and C-61/D-36 licensing. The City of Pembroke Pines posted an IFB on April 7, 2026 (due May 5, 2026) for citywide pressure washing of sidewalks, medians, walls, and roofs across 30 areas, with an estimated $700,000 project cost, Section 3 worker mandates, Davis-Bacon requirements, and local vendor preferences of 5 percent for Pembroke Pines vendors and 2.5 percent for Broward County and veteran-owned small businesses.
