UNSPSC 30141600: Specialty insulation

UNSPSC 30141600 Specialty insulation is a Class code under which state and local governments procure removal and installation of acoustical ceiling tiles, roof duct insulation, and related thermal or fire-rated insulation products for facilities ranging from law enforcement buildings to transportation infrastructure. Recent solicitations show counties and state transportation agencies buying labor-intensive ceiling and roof insulation work performed to specific fire ratings and material specifications, often as part of broader facility renovation or maintenance projects. Issuing bodies include county departments of public works, county sheriff's offices, state transportation departments, and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles. Counties appear as repeat solicitors — Walworth County and Rockdale County both posted opportunities in the past four months — and cooperative purchasing arrangements such as Sourcewell extend the reach of individual solicitations across multiple jurisdictions and state lines.

Geographic activity spans Wisconsin, California, Georgia, Minnesota, and Washington state based on recent postings. The Walworth County Department of Public Works issued IFB 25-125 for acoustical ceiling tile removal and replacement at the Sheriff's Office and Jail Facility in Elkhorn, Wisconsin, due June 29, 2026, with a $325,000 budget and anticipated start of August 1, 2026. Rockdale County, Georgia posted RFP PE72200NONST2026000000079 on March 18, 2026 for an on-call unit price contract to provide framing, drywall, and acoustical ceiling work on small commercial interior projects, due April 16, 2026, with most work orders under $15,000 and a local vendor preference of 5 evaluation points. Caltrans issued IFB 07A6250 for roof duct insulation work at three air handler units across Los Angeles County jurisdictions, posted March 24, 2026 and due April 9, 2026. Sourcewell, the Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle, issued RFP 061626 for law enforcement equipment on behalf of participating entities in Washington and other states, due June 16, 2026, though that opportunity's law enforcement scope does not clearly align with the specialty insulation code classification.
