UNSPSC 30161602: Ceiling panels

UNSPSC 30161602 Ceiling panels is a Commodity code that covers the procurement of acoustical ceiling tiles and replacement systems for government buildings, jails, offices, and similar facilities. State and local governments buying under this code seek finished ceiling tile products—typically acoustical or fire-rated panels in standard dimensions—along with installation services when the procurement bundles labor with materials. The issuing bodies include county departments of public works, county sheriffs' offices managing jail and detention facilities, city and county administrative departments, and facilities management divisions within larger public agencies.

Recent activity shows Walworth County Department of Public Works (Wisconsin) issued an IFB in June 2026 for removal and replacement of acoustical ceiling tiles at the Walworth County Sheriff's Office and Jail Facility, with a $325,000 budget, Class A fire-rated tiles in multiple sizes (24" x 24" and 24" x 48"), installation around existing building systems, and a completion target of January 29, 2027. Portage County, Wisconsin (also in May 2026) bid Phase 1 of a courthouse remodel that included an Acoustical Panel Ceilings trade package. Maricopa County and the City of Phoenix solicited bids for various ceiling tiles in September 2026 with an October 9 response date. Wisconsin and Arizona show the strongest recent activity; the geographic spread remains limited based on posted opportunities. Bidders pursuing this code should expect requirements for fire-rating certifications (ASTM E84), experience credentials (typically five to seven years of commercial installation), bonding (bid and performance bonds), proof of liability insurance, and compliance with local prevailing-wage or wage-hour requirements in public-works contexts.
