UNSPSC 30121803: Artificial turf

An artificial grass made with synthetic textile.

UNSPSC 30121803 Artificial turf is a Commodity code covering synthetic and natural turf installation, replacement, and overlay work in parks, recreation facilities, school athletic fields, correctional institutions, and playgrounds. State and local governments buy complete turnkey projects under this code — site preparation, removal of existing surfaces, base material installation, turf laying with proper drainage and striping, and ancillary work such as bleachers, irrigation upgrades, and landscape restoration. Issuing bodies span school districts (Salt Lake City School District, San Antonio Independent School District, Ogden School District, Eastern Connecticut State University), cities and towns (Burleson, Glastonbury, Yuma County, Ogden), and state agencies (California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation). The recent opportunities mix new construction, field conversions from natural to synthetic grass, and specialized applications such as dog-compatible turf in correctional facilities and playground surfaces meeting environmental and safety standards.

Recent activity concentrates in Arizona, California, Connecticut, Texas, and Utah. Representative solicitations include the Salt Lake City School District's IFB for artificial turf playground surfaces across eight schools (due February 23, 2026, approximately 16,290 square feet total), the Ogden School District's RFP26-006 for synthetic turf replacement and conversion at five locations including Ben Lomond High School and Ogden High School (proposals due February 9, 2026), the San Antonio Independent School District's RFCSP #26-017(RC) for high school sports field resurfacing with natural-to-synthetic conversion at three campuses with a $7.02 million estimated construction budget (proposals due May 7, 2026), and the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation's rebid IFB C5613245-D for synthetic turf overlay at San Quentin Rehabilitation Center (bids due July 14, 2026). Contracts typically carry performance and payment bonds, prevailing wage requirements, and where applicable, state set-aside mandates for small and disadvantaged enterprises; Connecticut and California jurisdictions notably enforce these requirements. Project timelines range from 60 days for site work to 12–15-month athletic field buildouts with substantial completion deadlines tied to school calendars or seasonal construction windows.
