UNSPSC 30161503: Drywall

UNSPSC 30161503 Drywall (Commodity) covers drywall repair and installation work solicited by state and local housing authorities, municipalities, and other public bodies. State and local governments use this code to procure drywall materials and installation labor for water damage restoration, fire damage repairs, general building maintenance, and interior renovation projects. Work ranges from single-unit residential repairs to multi-unit restoration efforts, typically bundled with related interior finishes such as insulation, flooring, fixtures, and painting. Issuing bodies include municipal housing authorities, town planning departments, and other local property management entities. The code draws both general contractors holding appropriate state licenses and specialty trade contractors with drywall and finishing experience. Prevailing wage requirements and bonding obligations are common on larger public projects.
