UNSPSC 30161600: Ceiling materials

UNSPSC 30161600 Ceiling materials is a Class code covering the purchase of acoustical ceiling tiles, grid systems, and related installation services that state and local governments procure for facility renovation and maintenance. Recent solicitations show straightforward material procurement — Maricopa County and the City of Phoenix are seeking various ceiling tiles (due October 9, 2026), while the Walworth County Department of Public Works in Wisconsin is managing a $325,000 removal and replacement of acoustical ceiling tiles throughout the Sheriff's Office and Jail Facility (sealed bids due June 29, 2026), and the Town of Groton, Connecticut has issued an ITB for interior and exterior repairs at a residential property that includes damaged ceiling repair (revised bid due September 16, 2026). County governments, municipalities, and special-purpose facilities (jails, courthouses, charter schools) are the primary issuing bodies under this code. Work encompasses both straightforward material supply and labor-inclusive installation contracts; the Walworth County project, for example, requires contractors to demonstrate at least seven years of commercial ceiling installation experience, supply Class A fire-rated tiles in multiple configurations, install around existing building systems, and manage ceiling heights from 8 to 30 feet across kitchen, jail corridor, and administrative office areas.

Recent activity clusters in Wisconsin, Connecticut, Arizona, and Massachusetts. The Walworth County ceiling project (Elkhorn, Wisconsin, RFB 25-125) is representative of mid-scale municipal facility work with defined specifications, pre-bid site tours, bonding and insurance requirements, and scheduled performance from August 1 through January 29, 2027. Match Charter School in Hyde Park, Massachusetts posted a sealed-bid solicitation for exterior stair repair and ceiling tiles/grid support work with a June 5, 2026 deadline. The Groton town project combines ceiling repair with broader residential rehabilitation, indicating that ceiling work often bundles with general carpentry and trades rather than standing alone. Geographic spread is dispersed across the upper Midwest and Northeast, with Arizona also active; no standout repeat buyers emerge from the recent record beyond the county and municipal pattern.
