UNSPSC 47131826: Carpet or upholstery cleaners

UNSPSC 47131826 Carpet or upholstery cleaners is a Commodity code covering on-site cleaning, maintenance, and specialized treatment of carpeted and upholstered surfaces in institutional and commercial settings. State and local governments buy under this code primarily through two parallel procurement streams: one-time carpet replacement and removal services (typically handled as capital projects funded through federal sources such as HUD), and recurring facility maintenance contracts for dry cleaning, extraction, and routine carpet care across multiple buildings. School districts, special-purpose authorities, municipal housing agencies, and water districts are the principal buying bodies; school districts appear most active, purchasing both custodial supplies including carpet shampoo and equipment alongside dedicated carpet cleaning service contracts, while municipal and county entities solicit for specific facilities or apartment complexes.

The code shows concentrated recent activity in the Southeast and West. The Community Development Authority of the City of Madison, Wisconsin posted an RFB on June 29, 2026, for carpet removal and replacement at Karabis Apartments with a July 17, 2026, response date, requiring Davis-Bacon wage compliance and fixed-fee pricing on approximately 2,800 square feet of glue-down carpet removal and commercial-grade tile installation. The Eastern Municipal Water District in Riverside County, California, issued RFP 3935 on May 5, 2026, for five-year districtwide carpet cleaning and maintenance services covering 97,478 square feet across three facilities with monthly or quarterly dry cleaning, chair cleaning, and 24/7 emergency extraction at Perris locations, with a June 3, 2026, response deadline and a mandatory May 20, 2026, pre-proposal conference. Madison County Board of Education in Georgia and Muscogee County School District in Georgia both solicited custodial supplies including carpet shampoo in May and April 2026 respectively, while the School Board of Pinellas County, Florida, bid approximately $900,000 in annual custodial supplies (including carpet cleaning products and equipment) through an electronic procurement portal with a December 2, 2025, deadline. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas managed a catalog discount RFP for custodial supplies across member entities with estimated annual expenditures of $5.22 million.
