UNSPSC 30161700: Flooring

UNSPSC 30161700 Flooring is a Class code encompassing removal, installation, and restoration of carpet, vinyl, tile, wood, epoxy, and specialty flooring systems in state and local facilities. State and local governments solicit under this code for both routine maintenance replacements and facility-wide upgrades spanning public buildings, schools, housing authorities, recreational facilities, and specialized venues. Recent solicitations show active procurement across carpet tile installation, vinyl composite tile (VCT) flooring, resilient sheet flooring systems, luxury vinyl plank/tile (LVT), terrazzo floor maintenance, and athletic flooring replacements. Issuing bodies include city and county procurement offices, independent school districts, housing authorities, state departments, colleges, transit and airport authorities, and special-purpose districts. School districts and housing authorities emerge as repeat buyers, with Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida), San Antonio Independent School District (Texas), Wellesley Housing Authority (Massachusetts), and various Connecticut municipalities posting multiple opportunities. Flooring work frequently bundles with related services—demolition, subfloor preparation, surface grinding, moisture mitigation, cove base installation, and disposal—as a complete turnkey scope.

Recent activity concentrates in the Northeast (Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island), Southeast (Florida, Georgia), Southwest (Texas, Arizona, California), and intermittent Midwest and Mountain West jurisdictions. Representative current opportunities include Columbus Consolidated Government (Georgia) soliciting carpet, tile, and installation services under RFB No. 27-0015 (response due November 18, 2026); City of San Antonio requesting carpet purchase and installation at the Frank Wing Building (IFB, response due October 28, 2026); City of Norwich, Connecticut soliciting flooring repair and refinishing proposals at Greeneville Fire Station 2 (RFP 27-35, response due November 5, 2026); Hillsborough County Public Schools requesting bids on carpet, vinyl, epoxy, and tile flooring across seven product categories (ITB 26190-MST, response due August 6, 2026); and Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management soliciting terrazzo floor maintenance at Blackstone River State Park (RFQ, response due September 3, 2026). Set-asides vary by jurisdiction—Connecticut enforces 25 percent Small Business Enterprise and 6.25 percent Minority/Women/Disabled-owned subcontracting goals on state-funded projects; California applies small-business and DVBE preferences on public works; Rhode Island mandates 15 percent Minority Business Enterprise participation; and many solicitations include prevailing wage, Davis-Bacon Act compliance, and performance or payment bond requirements. Contract values range from micro-purchases under $50,000 to master-price agreements and ongoing as-needed arrangements without guaranteed volume. Activity is consistent and distributed; the code shows sustained demand across facility types and jurisdictions.
