UNSPSC 30141503: Foam insulation

UNSPSC 30141503 Foam insulation is a Commodity code covering spray foam and related insulation installation work at public facilities. State and local governments procure foam insulation primarily through invitations to bid for specific building envelope projects, including spray polyurethane foam application at municipal maintenance facilities, airport hangars, and other institutional structures. The scope of work encompasses site assessment, material selection, removal of existing insulation where required, installation of closed-cell or open-cell spray foam to specified R-values and thicknesses, sealing of air gaps and penetrations, surface coating application after curing, and final cleanup and debris removal. Issuing bodies include county governments and municipal special-purpose districts, particularly airport authorities and parks departments, posting bids with response windows of two to four weeks and lump-sum project values ranging from tens of thousands to low six figures. Bidders must typically demonstrate proper state licensing, commercial spray foam installation experience, valid insurance, and willingness to conduct site visits and coordinate scheduling around active facility operations.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Midwest. Worcester County, Maryland posted an IFB for spray foam application at its Public Works Maintenance Building (BPM059034, due October 26, 2026), and Cochran Municipal Airport in Georgia solicited sealed bids for removal of existing fiberglass ceiling insulation and installation of closed-cell spray polyurethane foam over approximately 8,000 square feet of hangar ceiling with an estimated award range of $55,000 to $60,000 (PE66203NONST2027000000020, due September 30, 2026). Kane County, Illinois requested proposals for spray foam installation and permitting within a cold storage building at Mill Creek Greenway Forest Preserve (SBFP192526INSULATIONOFNATURALRESOURCEMANAGEMENTBUILDING, due July 8, 2026). A June 2026 City of Cochran Airport solicitation (PE66203NONST2026000000019) covered broader insulation installation planning and quality verification across multiple application types. The code shows recurring activity in county purchasing offices and airport authorities across multiple states, with limited but consistent demand for specialized closed-cell foam contractors.
