UNSPSC 47131811: Laundry products

UNSPSC 47131811 Laundry products is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure maintenance, repair, and chemical-supply services for industrial laundry and warewashing equipment across correctional facilities, probation departments, and school districts. Recent solicitations show two distinct work streams: industrial laundry equipment maintenance and repair (preventive inspections, emergency response, parts replacement for washers, dryers, and lint collectors manufactured by Speed Queen, B&C, Milnor, Unimac, Braun, Dexter, and Energenics) and warewashing chemical supply and equipment service (sanitizers, degreasers, detergents, de-limers, and dishwashing-machine maintenance across school cafeteria locations). County probation and sheriff departments and school districts are the primary issuing bodies. The County of Orange in California appears as a repeat buyer, with separate procurements from its Probation Department and Sheriff-Coroner Department for industrial laundry maintenance at youth guidance centers, juvenile halls, and correctional facilities, while West Hartford Public Schools in Connecticut issued an RFP for comprehensive warewashing services across 16 school locations.

Activity concentrates in California and Connecticut based on recent postings. Representative opportunities include the County of Orange Probation Department's IFB 0573021101VRV2 for routine maintenance and repairs of industrial laundry equipment at two probation facilities (Youth Guidance Center and Juvenile Hall) with a response deadline of May 19, 2026, offering a five percent preference deduction for County of Orange Local Small Business and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise certified vendors with a maximum preference cap of $100,000; the County of Orange Sheriff-Coroner Department's IFB 0602923409MB for maintenance services at the Central Men's Jail and James A. Musick Facility covering a three-year contract term commencing February 22, 2026, with 24/7 emergency response requirements and 5 percent OCLSB/DVBE preference; and West Hartford Public Schools' RFP WHWAREWASHING2627 closing June 5, 2026, for chemical supply delivery and dishwashing-equipment service across 16 school sites for the 2026–2027 school year (July 1, 2026 through August 15, 2027), requiring delivery by 1:00 PM and $1,000,000 commercial general liability and automobile liability insurance. All County of Orange solicitations require electronic submission through the county's online procurement portal, active California contractor licenses, and bonds; West Hartford requires Material Safety Data Sheets and Green Seal or EPA Design for the Environment certifications where available.
