UNSPSC 30140000: Insulation

UNSPSC 30140000 Insulation, a Family code, encompasses the removal, installation, and replacement of thermal and acoustic insulation systems in building construction and facility maintenance. State and local governments solicit under this code for attic insulation replacement, suspended acoustical ceiling systems, building envelope work, and related insulation-and-finish trades integrated into renovation and repair projects. The issuing bodies include county governments, cities, and regional water authorities; the mix spans county-level operations (Walton County, Orange County), municipal public works and facilities departments, and specialized infrastructure operators. Representative recent opportunities include Walton County, Florida's quotation request for installation of a 2-foot by 2-foot suspended acoustical ceiling system at the County office building in DeFuniak Springs (ITQ26001, due October 8, 2026), and Tampa Bay Water's request for quotation to remove contaminated attic insulation, sanitize, and install new R-40 insulation at the Cypress Creek Pump Station (2026900, due July 1, 2026). Both solicitations follow standard procurement processes with electronic submission portals and detailed technical specifications tied to facility rehabilitation and maintenance cycles.

Recent activity clusters in Florida and Arizona, with secondary presence in Wisconsin and California. Solicitations reflect phased renovation work (two-phase ceiling installation in Florida), emergency facility maintenance (water authority infrastructure), and custodial or environmental compliance requirements (contaminated insulation remediation). Pricing is typically structured as lump-sum, firm-fixed quotations or bids incorporating labor, materials, removal and disposal, and coordination with existing building systems and occupant operations. Contractors routinely supply performance and payment bonds, general liability insurance at $1 million per occurrence, and references demonstrating prior experience with similar-scale commercial or institutional facility work. The code shows modest but steady activity tied to infrastructure maintenance and facility renewal budgets rather than new construction, suggesting demand that correlates to building age, deferred maintenance, and code-compliance upgrades rather than economic or seasonal cycles.
