UNSPSC 52141613: Domestic clothes boiler

Electrically powered machine that boils clothes.

UNSPSC 52141613 Domestic clothes boiler, a Commodity code, covers commercial-grade washers and dryers that state and local government procures for residential facilities, laundry operations, and institutional use. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing complete laundry equipment packages—including extractors, drying cabinets, and specialized gear-washing systems compliant with NFPA 1851 standards—alongside installation, delivery, and warranty coverage. The issuing bodies span state agencies (Texas Military Department, California Department of General Services, State of Maine), university systems (Texas A&M), municipalities (City of Philadelphia), and regional purchasing cooperatives (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative, Sourcewell). Equipment specifications frequently call for commercial-grade construction with capacity ratings of 30 to 120 pounds dry weight, three-phase electric or natural gas capability, and extended warranty terms ranging from two to ten years on parts and labor. Installation and operator training are standard requirements, and bidders routinely must demonstrate prior experience with similar projects and carry comprehensive liability insurance coverage.

Activity spans multiple states with recent opportunities posted from Texas, California, Maine, and Pennsylvania between late April and October 2026. The Texas Military Department issued an IFB in May 2026 for three natural gas dryers at the Texas ChalleNGe Academy with mandatory site visits and a May 21 deadline; the City of Philadelphia solicited washers and dryers under IFB B2728158 with a $45,000 micro-purchase cap and October 15 response date; the State of Maine issued two fire-gear washer-and-dryer RFQs (one closing May 13, 2026, the second on May 22, 2026) specifying Circul-Air equipment with NFPA compliance; and the California Department of General Services posted an RFB for commercial washers and dryers under a multiple-award schedule framework closing June 5, 2026. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas issued a Catalog Discount Bid (RFP) for custodial supplies with an estimated two-year expenditure of $12,638,478.00 and board approval scheduled for June 18, 2026. A Sourcewell cooperative purchasing RFP (#061626) for Law Enforcement Equipment also closed June 16, 2026, serving multiple participating entities across Washington state and beyond. The mix of IFB, RFQ, and RFP notices reflects both direct buys by individual agencies and cooperative purchasing vehicles that serve multiple jurisdictions simultaneously.
