UNSPSC 30131705: Head stones

UNSPSC 30131705 Headstones is a Commodity code that encompasses stone conservation and restoration services for cemetery grave markers, including stabilization, repointing, masonry repair, and specialized cleaning of historical headstones and footstones. State and local buyers under this code include county governments and special-purpose districts managing public cemeteries and historical burial grounds. The scope involves hands-on preservation work performed by experienced stone conservators rather than procurement of headstone products themselves — vendors must demonstrate expertise in historical cemetery preservation, comply with specialized conservation methodologies (such as D2 cleaning solutions and natural bristle brushes rather than high-pressure equipment), and carry professional liability coverage alongside standard workers' compensation and general liability insurance.

Collier County, Florida recently solicited stone conservation services for the Historic Christ Episcopal Church Cemetery in Immokalee through a Quick Quote process (QQ2026135, due July 10, 2026), seeking stabilization and restoration of six grave markers including resetting displaced markers, repointing mortar joints, and masonry repairs. The opportunity required lump-sum pricing and named specific insurance requirements (Professional Liability at $500,000 per claim and aggregate, Commercial General Liability at $500,000 per occurrence and $1,000,000 aggregate). A second opportunity flagged under this code — Sourcewell's RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment (due June 16, 2026) — appears unrelated to headstone work and does not reflect meaningful activity in the cemetery preservation segment. Recent activity under this code is sparse; Collier County's cemetery restoration solicitation is the only relevant example in the available record.
