UNSPSC 72153504: High pressure water blasting

UNSPSC 72153504 High pressure water blasting is a Commodity code representing the surface-cleaning services that state and local governments procure for routine maintenance, facility cleaning, and specialized exterior restoration across administrative buildings, transit facilities, parking structures, parks, airports, and educational campuses. The work spans pressure washing, soft-wash treatments, steam cleaning, and related surface preparation on concrete, masonry, brick, metal, and glass. Issuing bodies include state departments (California Department of Motor Vehicles, Oregon Department of Veterans Affairs, California Department of Transportation), county governments (Orange County, Volusia County, Gwinnett County, Douglas County), cities (Savannah, Atlanta, Arlington, Olathe, Austin, Huntsville), school districts (DeKalb County School District), transit authorities (Orange County Transportation Authority, MARTA), and special-purpose districts (John Wayne Airport, Texas Facilities Commission). Recent opportunities show a mix of small municipal contracts ($86,643 for a 36-month DMV property-sweeping agreement in California) and larger multi-facility awards (Olathe's approximately 487,000-gross-square-foot janitorial and pressure-washing bid; DeKalb County School District's pressure washing across 138 schools and 164 properties). Several issuing bodies—particularly in Georgia and California—appear as repeat buyers.

Recent activity concentrates in California, Georgia, Florida, Colorado, Texas, Oregon, Connecticut, Kansas, South Carolina, and Wisconsin. Representative opportunities include the California Department of Motor Vehicles' 36-month pressure-washing and property-sweeping contract at the Oxnard DMV Field Office (IFB 26-152, responses due October 23, 2026, Certified Small Business set-aside); the Orange County Transportation Authority's graffiti removal and abatement services across Orange County facilities (IFB 260533, responses due October 27, 2026, prevailing wage, $100,000 one-year term); DeKalb County School District's pressure washing across 138 schools and 164 properties (ITB 27-802, responses due September 10, 2026); the City of Olathe's comprehensive janitorial and custodial services at approximately 40 facilities covering roughly 487,000 gross square feet (RFP-26-0086, responses due September 30, 2026, two service delivery scopes); Gwinnett County's pressure washing and related cleaning services on an annual contract basis (BL070-26, responses due August 20, 2026, three service sections available individually or in combination); and the County of Volusia's county-wide pressure washing and soft-wash services across approximately 130 buildings (ITB 26-B-99JJ, responses due July 16, 2026, master agreement available to all county departments). Set-asides and preferences are common—California Small Business, Certified Small Business, DBE, DVBE, and local-vendor preferences appear frequently.
