UNSPSC 30151505: Roofing membranes

UNSPSC 30151505 Roofing membranes (Commodity) encompasses thermoplastic and synthetic roofing membranes—PVC, TPO, and SBS systems—that state and local governments procure primarily as materials-only supplies for installation at correctional facilities, transportation infrastructure, public buildings, and educational institutions. Recent solicitations show a mix of product-only purchases where the issuing body performs installation, and full service contracts combining materials and labor; the code captures both supply and installation work when tagged by procurement offices. California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation facilities dominate recent activity, issuing multiple IFBs for 80-mil PVC membranes at prisons statewide, with mandatory walk-throughs and small-business set-asides common. Counties, cities, and special districts—including Caltrans, county sheriffs' offices, transit authorities, school districts, and fire protection districts—round out the issuing-body mix, with activity spanning California, Florida, Georgia, Arizona, Michigan, Texas, Connecticut, and Wisconsin.

Geographic concentration is heavy in California, where CDCR has posted at least five opportunities since May 2026 for prison roofing systems at Avenal, Calipatria, High Desert, Salinas Valley, and Los Angeles County facilities, often with FM Global wind uplift certification and 10-year manufacturer warranties required. Caltrans issued two recent IFPQs for roof removal and installation across maintenance stations in Riverside, San Bernardino, and Contra Costa Counties, both open to small businesses and DVBEs. Outside California, representative opportunities include Collier County, Florida's ITB 26-8693 for complete roof replacement at the Sheriff's Office Jail (J3) facility with a $3 million budget and 365-day completion deadline due October 12, 2026; the City of Tybee Island, Georgia's ITB 2026-109 for Guard House Roof Replacement with DaVinci or Brava slate tile alternatives due October 27, 2026; and the City of Jackson, Michigan's CDBG-funded residential roof replacement bids throughout 2026. Howard County Board of Education in Maryland solicited roof replacement contractor services with a 29% MBE participation goal and six-manufacturer certification requirement. Prevailing wage requirements, federal compliance for CDBG and ARPA funding, performance bonds, and liability insurance thresholds of $1 million to $2 million per occurrence appear consistently across jurisdictions.
