UNSPSC 30131504: Ceramic blocks

UNSPSC 30131504 Ceramic blocks, a Commodity code, appears in state and local procurement activity primarily for tile installation and flooring work in municipal facilities, schools, and public venues rather than for the structural masonry blocks the code name suggests. Recent solicitations show ceramic tile being specified for restroom renovations, aquatic center upgrades, and flooring projects across public buildings, with work scopes encompassing removal of existing tile, installation of ceramic wall and floor tile in various formats, grouting, and coordination with broader facility improvements. The issuing bodies are a mix of county governments, municipal departments, school districts, and public authorities—including Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, the City of Fort Worth, the City of St. Petersburg, Lee County Port Authority, the University of Texas at Tyler, and Boulder County Building Services. These entities solicit ceramic tile work as part of larger renovation or maintenance projects rather than as standalone material procurement, with tile installation bundled into general construction or renovation contracts managed by general contractors or specialized trades.

Geographic activity spans Florida (Lee County Port Authority's Southwest Florida International Airport restroom remodels; City of St. Petersburg's City Hall restroom floor replacement), Georgia (Gwinnett County's Bethesda Park Aquatic Center wall and floor tile replacement; Chattooga County Schools' security vestibule), Colorado (Boulder County Community Hub flooring and tile), and Texas (City of Fort Worth's flooring materials and services RFP; University of Texas at Tyler's Cowan Center Lobby renovation; Texas Workforce Commission's Fort Worth restroom renovation). Recent representative opportunities include Gwinnett County's sealed-bid solicitation (RFB PE77023NONST2026000000635) for wall and floor tile replacement at the Bethesda Park Aquatic Center, due July 9, 2026, specifying 12" × 24" large format ceramic wall tiles and 1" × 1" or 2" × 2" small format ceramic floor tiles with epoxy grout; the City of Fort Worth's RFP (260223) for non-exclusive flooring materials and services agreements covering ceramic tile among other flooring types, due July 23, 2026, with a 30 percent Small Business participation goal; and the City of St. Petersburg's IFB (IFB-24-217) for restroom floor replacement in City Hall, restricting competition to certified SBE, WBE, and MBE firms. The code shows consistent activity in public-sector building maintenance and renovation rather than new construction or material-only buys.
