UNSPSC 30151703: Gutters

UNSPSC 30151703 Gutters is a Commodity-level code capturing the procurement of gutter systems and related installation services. State and local governments buy aluminum and metal gutters, downspouts, hangers, and associated materials in the context of residential and commercial property repairs, typically bundled with roofing, exterior envelope work, or facility maintenance. Recent solicitations show gutters solicited both as standalone replacement projects and as line-item components within broader property rehabilitation scopes. Issuing bodies span municipal purchasing departments (primarily Connecticut and Michigan cities), school districts, and special-purpose authorities. The City of Jackson Community Development Department appears as a repeat buyer, issuing multiple CDBG-funded residential rehabilitation bids that include gutter installation; the City of Torrington, Connecticut has also posted multiple gutter-inclusive solicitations. Work is commonly CDBG-funded, triggering Davis-Bacon prevailing wage compliance, Section 3 employment priorities, and affirmative action requirements for small and minority-owned businesses. Gutter specifications in recent bids call for K-type aluminum materials (typically 5-inch residential or 7-inch commercial box styles), with hanger spacing, pitch, and downspout requirements detailed to manufacturer standards. Contractors must typically hold state contractor licenses, SAM.gov registration, and general liability insurance ranging from $300,000 to $2 million depending on project scope.

Recent activity concentrates in Michigan and Connecticut. The City of Jackson Community Development Department has posted at least six gutter-related solicitations since July 1, 2026, including 237 N Gorham Street (ITB 2026COMMUNITYDEVELOPMENT026, bids due July 7, 2026), 1413 Teneyck Street (ITB 2026COMMUNITYDEVELOPMENT025, bids due July 1, 2026), 2014 Woodsum Street (ITB 2026COMMUNITYDEVELOPMENT030, bids due July 8, 2026), 225 W High Street (ITB 2026COMMUNITYDEVELOPMENT024, bids due June 24, 2026), 827 Bush Street (ITB 2026COMMUNITYDEVELOPMENT044, bids due August 27, 2026), and 1017 Second Court (ITB 2026COMMUNITYDEVELOPMENT045, bids due August 27, 2026). The City of Torrington, Connecticut has posted gutter work at 39 Dartmouth Street (ITB 143SC56, bids due June 12, 2026) and 164 Aetna Avenue (ITB 143PI49, bids due July 14, 2026 and July 7, 2026 under revised dates). The Town of Groton, Connecticut issued an ITB for interior and exterior repairs including gutters at 14 Valley Road (ITB HR-2025-04, bids due August 21, 2026 with mandatory pre-bid September 2, 2026). The Melbourne Airport Authority awarded gutter replacement at two airport facilities to MGM Contracting of Cocoa, Florida at $98,900 (ITB 1TB 2026-0604, completed June 2026). Geographic spread spans Connecticut, Michigan, and Florida; one source record (Fontana Unified School District water piping and North Tamarind Elementary, California) was tagged with the gutter code but describes plumbing work unrelated to gutters, indicating possible classification mismatch in that jurisdiction's tagging.
