UNSPSC 52141602: Domestic tumble dryers

UNSPSC 52141602 Domestic tumble dryers is a Commodity code that covers the procurement and installation of commercial and residential tumble dryers for state and local facilities, including laundry equipment for higher-education residential housing, correctional and military training centers, fire departments, and state agency office and facility operations. Recent solicitations show state and local governments buying either equipment alone (with vendors responsible for delivery and installation) or bundled procurement of washers and dryers as part of larger laundry-facility buildouts. Issuing bodies include state higher-education systems, state departments (military, general services, administrative/financial services), counties, cities, community colleges, and cooperative purchasing consortia. Texas dominates recent activity through multiple solicitations: the Texas A&M University System (Reed House appliances, ITB TAMUS-ITB-26-0537, due July 7, 2026), the Texas Military Department (commercial natural gas dryers for Eagle Lake ChalleNGe Academy, IFB TMD26-CHE-0041563, due May 21, 2026), and Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative (custodial supplies including laundry equipment for member districts across the state, RFP CUS2628, due May 26, 2026, estimated $12.6 million over two years).
