UNSPSC 30161701: Carpeting

UNSPSC 30161701 Carpeting is a Commodity code that covers removal and installation of broadloom carpet, carpet tiles, and related base and transition materials in institutional and commercial buildings. State and local governments procure these services for school districts, state office facilities, convention centers, public housing, and university campuses, typically bundled with demolition, floor preparation, and disposal work performed under lump-sum fixed-price contracts. The work mixes straightforward single-building projects with district-wide or campus-wide frameworks that establish qualified vendor lists for ongoing installation and maintenance needs. Issuing bodies include school districts (independent school systems and regional districts), state departments (transportation, industrial relations, employment development), county and city governments, university systems, public housing authorities, and convention center authorities. Georgia World Congress Center Authority, Atlanta Public Schools, and California state departments appear as repeat recent buyers seeking either discrete projects or ongoing service arrangements.

Recent activity spans California, Georgia, Connecticut, Wisconsin, Michigan, Florida, Utah, and Rhode Island, with California state departments (DIR, EDD, Caltrans) and Georgia public entities showing particular frequency. Representative recent solicitations include the Georgia World Congress Center Authority's IFB for Building C Meeting Room Carpet Replacement Phase IV (due August 3, 2026), covering 41,913 square feet of Shaw carpet tile installation with mandatory pre-bid site visit on July 20, 2026; the City of Meriden's ITB for Platt High School media center flooring (due June 3, 2026), a 5,630-square-foot carpet tile replacement under Connecticut prevailing wage and 25% small business set-aside requirements; and the California Department of Industrial Relations IFB S25BMO009 for Oakland office carpet and VCT removal and installation (due April 3, 2026) with an $800,000 budget and mandatory pre-bid inspection. The Rhode Island Division of Purchases established a Master Price Agreement (MPA 364) Open Enrollment framework effective July 1, 2026, for qualified flooring contractors statewide across three service tiers (comprehensive installation and restoration, carpet and tile only, wood floor restoration only), with pricing determined through mini-bid competitions and mandatory MBE/WBE inclusion on the qualified vendor list.
