UNSPSC 30151503: Roofing fabrics

UNSPSC 30151503 Roofing fabrics is a Commodity code. State and local governments use it to procure finished roof coverings—asphalt shingles, TPO membranes, PVC membranes, modified bitumen, metal panels, and associated flashings and trim—as part of roof replacement and repair projects. Recent solicitations show a mix of complete roof replacements on municipal buildings, schools, housing-rehabilitation properties, and county facilities, plus as-needed roofing repair services and material supply contracts. The issuing bodies are diverse: city engineering departments and community development offices (Madison, Jackson, Tucson, Tybee Island, Tallahassee, Fort Worth), county facilities and transit agencies (Santa Clara County, Okaloosa County, DeKalb County Schools, Liberty County Schools), school districts (Austin Independent, Alpine, Hillsborough County), higher-education and airport authorities (Houston City College, West Texas A&M, Greater Orlando Aviation), and housing authorities (Hartford). Roofing fabric procurement under this code reflects the commodity's role as an input to labor-intensive installation work; solicitations typically bundle materials with installation labor and labor-unit pricing, and winners are often responsible for sourcing compliant membranes and shingles meeting manufacturer specifications, wind ratings, and warranty standards.

Recent activity spans multiple states and regions, with notable concentration in Florida (Okaloosa County, Santa Clara County, Tallahassee, Volusia County, Fort Worth), Georgia (Tybee Island, DeKalb County, Liberty County), California (Caltrans stations in Los Angeles, Alameda, Mono, San Bernardino counties), Texas (Austin, Houston, Fort Worth, West Texas A&M), Michigan (Jackson), and Connecticut (Meriden, Hartford). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Madison Engineering's Normal Hall Roof Replacement (RFB, due August 6, 2026), a 3,600-square-foot asphalt shingle roof with mandatory pre-bid on July 22; the City of Tucson's indefinite-quantity roofing supplies catalog procurement (RFQ, due July 29, 2026), subject to ARPA and domestic-content compliance; the Okaloosa County Board's Rigdon Center Roof Restoration (ITB FM 64-26, due July 15, 2026) for 21,800 square feet of CPR polyurethane and cold-applied synthetic rubber coatings; and the Austin Independent School District's on-call urgent roof repair services (IFB #26IFB063, due May 12, 2026), covering portable classroom, low-slope, and steep-slope systems across district facilities with unit-price labor and materials-markup billing. DeKalb County Schools (ITB 26-707) and Liberty County Schools (RFP 2026-14) both sought licensed roofing contractors for district-wide repair and single-facility replacement respectively. Multiple municipalities in Michigan and Georgia have used the code for CDBG-funded residential roof replacements with compliance mandates for prevailing wage, Section 3 employment, and bonds. Set-asides and preferences appear frequently: local-vendor preference (Madison, Tallahassee), small-business and DBE goals (Austin ISD, DeKalb County Schools), and state/regional small-business reservations (Caltrans IFPQ contracts in California). Price certainty is limited—most awards go to low-responsive bidders on sealed competitive bids with fixed lump-sum pricing per project or firm hourly and materials rates for as-needed pools.
