UNSPSC 76111801: Car or boat detailing

UNSPSC 76111801 Car or boat detailing is a Commodity code that in practice encompasses fleet vehicle washing, exterior detailing, interior cleaning, and related mobile or fixed-location services for government vehicles ranging from light-duty sedans to transit buses and emergency apparatus. State and local governments use this code to procure both routine fleet maintenance cleaning and specialized detailing for law enforcement, public works, transportation, and emergency response vehicles across dozens of jurisdictions nationwide.

The issuing bodies span city procurement offices, county boards of commissioners, school districts, state transportation departments, and transit authorities. Recent opportunities show substantial activity from larger municipalities and counties—the City of Phoenix, Hillsborough County, San Mateo County, Harris County, Orange County Transportation Authority, and the State of California among them—with school districts including Cobb County and Pinellas County also soliciting detailing services. Geographic spread is broad: Florida (Phoenix, Hillsborough, Pasco, Marion, Orange County Transportation Authority), California (San Mateo, Orange County Transportation Authority, State of California), Texas (Harris County, Arlington, Montgomery County), Georgia (Gwinnett County, Chatham County), New Jersey (statewide supplemental contract), Arizona (City of Phoenix), South Carolina (Dorchester County), and additional activity across Pennsylvania, New Mexico, and other states. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Public Transit Department's five-year transit vehicle decommissioning contract (IFB PTD26-009, due November 6, 2026) for repainting and surface preparation on 180 forty-foot buses and other vehicles; Chatham County, Georgia's automated exterior carwash services for law enforcement vehicles (bids due November 3, 2026); San Mateo County's three-year on-demand vehicle cleaning services for 1,000+ owned and leased vehicles (RFP 2026RFP00608, due August 28, 2026); Hillsborough County's $4.3 million three-year Ford vehicle maintenance and OEM parts supply (ITB 26-00420, due October 16, 2026); and the State of New Jersey's supplemental vehicle washing and cleaning services across all counties with small-business set-asides (bids due July 30, 2026). DBE, MBE, WBE, and VOSB participation goals appear frequently; several jurisdictions apply local-vendor preferences or small-business set-asides ranging from 5 percent to 35 percent. Insurance requirements are standard (general liability $1–5 million per occurrence, automotive liability $300,000–$1 million), and prevailing wage applies in select procurements including Orange County's graffiti-removal services. Contract terms typically run one to five years with optional renewals at the issuing body's discretion, and unit pricing, lump-sum bids, and hourly labor rates are common payment structures.
