UNSPSC 30161604: Suspended ceiling systems

UNSPSC 30161604 Suspended ceiling systems is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure acoustical ceiling tile removal, replacement, and installation work for interior facility renovation and maintenance. The recent solicitations show county departments, cities, and special-purpose districts buying labor and materials for ceiling tile replacement projects across jails, courthouses, office buildings, and commercial interior spaces. Scope includes removal of existing acoustical tiles, installation of new tiles meeting fire-rating standards (typically Class A per ASTM E84), coordination around existing mechanical and electrical systems, and site cleanup. Installation work often runs $300,000 to $500,000 per project; contractors must hold commercial construction licensing, provide performance and payment bonds equal to 100 percent of contract value, and carry general liability insurance at $1,000,000 per occurrence or higher. Issuing bodies include county departments of public works, county purchasing departments acting for sheriff's offices and jails, and counties managing courthouse renovation projects through construction managers at risk. The code shows little activity outside construction and facility maintenance procurement; one recent notice from Williamson County Purchasing was an administrative relocation announcement unrelated to any ceiling work.

Recent opportunities cluster in the upper Midwest and Texas. Walworth County Department of Public Works (Wisconsin) posted a competitive bid for ceiling tile replacement at the Sheriff's Office and Jail Facility in Elkhorn, due June 29, 2026, with a $325,000 project budget and August 2026 start, requiring seven years of commercial ceiling installation experience and Class A fire-rated tiles in multiple configurations (24" x 24" and 24" x 48", square and beveled edge). Portage County, Wisconsin, included acoustical panel ceilings (Trade Package 02) as part of its Phase 1 Courthouse Remodel-Entrance project through construction manager J.H. Findorff, with stipulated-sum bids due June 2, 2026. Rockdale County, Georgia, issued an RFP for an on-call unit price contract covering framing, drywall, and acoustical ceiling (ACT) work for small commercial interior projects, with most work orders anticipated under $15,000 and proposals due April 16, 2026. Wisconsin and Georgia show the most recent activity; Texas and Oregon show isolated related construction work.
