UNSPSC 72103304: Parking lot or road sweeping services

UNSPSC 72103304 Parking lot or road sweeping services, a Commodity code, encompasses removal and disposal of surface debris from paved and unpaved areas including parking lots, roadways, streets, driveways, athletic fields, and pedestrian pathways. State and local governments procure this service regularly through maintenance contracts with fixed or seasonal frequencies, one-time event-based sweeping, and disposal-only transportation services, often bundling sweeping with pressure washing, litter collection, or specialized equipment like regenerative vacuum and mechanical screening operations.

Issuing bodies purchasing under this code span city public works departments, state transportation and motor vehicle agencies, county governments, school districts, and special-purpose districts. The California Department of Motor Vehicles appears frequently as a repeat buyer for parking lot sweeping at field offices statewide, with multiple small-business set-aside procurements posted in recent weeks. Cities including Tampa, Ocala, Peoria, Dallas, and Dunwoody solicit street sweeping regularly; Hillsborough County (Florida) and Central Florida Tourism Oversight District seek roadway litter control and sweeping across multiple service areas. A representative recent opportunity is the California DMV's 36-month contract for property sweeping and pressure washing at the Oxnard field office (Solicitation 26-152, Certified Small Business set-aside, responses due October 24, 2026), covering 131,987 total square feet with three-per-week sweeping and monthly pressure washing at approximately $86,643 total cost. The City of Richardson, Texas issued an ITB for outdoor litter removal across parks and athletics sites (ITB 03-27, bids due November 5, 2026) with an estimated annual budget of $285,000 and evaluation weighted toward experience (20%), staffing and equipment (20%), quality control (15%), operations and schedule (15%), and pricing (30%). The City of Ocala Public Works Department solicited street sweeping services (ITB PWD/260828, bids due July 6, 2026) covering up to 200 curbed center lane miles with mandatory GPS tracking and real-time monitoring requirements, and Hillsborough County requested mechanical sweeping (ITB-26-00408, bids due October 2, 2026) for up to 7,000 lane miles monthly across seventeen municipalities at an estimated $1.564 million over two years, extended by addendum to accommodate higher monthly volumes.

Recent activity concentrates in California (multiple DMV field offices in Santa Teresa, Merced, and Oxnard), Florida (cities of Tampa, St. Petersburg, and Ocala; Pinellas County; Hillsborough County; CFTOD), Arizona (City of Tucson and other municipalities), Georgia (cities of Dunwoody, Atlanta, and Adairsville), Texas (cities of Richardson and Peoria), and Utah (Jordan School District). The code shows consistent multi-state procurement activity, with California and Florida representing the largest recent concentration due to state DMV facility maintenance contracts and municipal park and roadway programs. Opportunities range from small single-location parking lot contracts ($28,584 to $90,000 annually) to large county-wide multi-location sweeping and debris removal programs ($1.5+ million), with contract terms typically one to three years and optional renewal periods. Set-asides favor small businesses, disabled veteran enterprises, and minority-owned firms in California and select other jurisdictions. Equipment requirements increasingly mandate GPS tracking, regenerative vacuum capability, truck-mounted (not trailer-mounted) systems, and real-time reporting for accountability and performance verification.
