UNSPSC 30141601: Acoustical insulation

UNSPSC 30141601 Acoustical insulation (Commodity) covers removal, replacement, and installation of acoustical ceiling tiles in public facilities, as state and local governments source this work for office buildings, detention facilities, and other institutional properties. Recent solicitations show counties and special districts procuring both material supply and installation labor as fixed-price contracts or unit-rate arrangements, typically bundled with related interior finishes such as framing and drywall work. Issuing bodies include county departments of public works, county finance and procurement offices, and special purchasing cooperatives serving multiple jurisdictions across state lines. Work scopes range from modest renovation projects under $15,000 to larger facility-wide replacements with budgets exceeding $300,000, and contractors consistently face requirements for commercial licensing, performance bonding, comprehensive insurance, and background clearance for work in secure or sensitive facilities.

Recent activity spans multiple states, with documented solicitations in Wisconsin, Georgia, and multi-state cooperative arrangements. Walworth County Department of Public Works (Wisconsin) issued an RFB on June 4, 2026 (due June 29, 2026) for removal and replacement of acoustical ceiling tiles at the Sheriff's Office and Jail Facility in Elkhorn with a $325,000 budget, requiring seven years of commercial ceiling installation experience, Class A fire-rated tiles, and completion by January 29, 2027. Rockdale County, Georgia issued an RFP on March 18, 2026 (due April 16, 2026) for an on-call unit price contract covering framing, drywall, and acoustical ceiling work on small commercial projects, with most work orders anticipated under $15,000 and a local vendor preference of 5 evaluation points. Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle, posted RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026 (due June 16, 2026) for law enforcement equipment that includes broader procurement scope but does not align closely with acoustical insulation work as described in the code.
