UNSPSC 30161703: Linoleum

UNSPSC 30161703 Linoleum, a Commodity code, covers flooring removal, installation, and replacement work across a range of resilient and hard-surface materials—carpet, vinyl composite tile, vinyl sheet goods, wood, ceramic tile, marble, stone, and terrazzo—procured on both project and as-needed basis by state and local agencies. State and local governments are buying installation labor, material supply, removal and disposal, refinishing, and sealing services under this code. Issuing bodies include state procurement offices (Rhode Island Division of Purchases, California Department of Industrial Relations, California Department of Consumer Affairs), city purchasing departments (Fort Worth), and school districts (Seminole County, Florida). Solicitations typically require licensed contractors (C-15 or equivalent specialty flooring licenses), minimum three to five years of commercial flooring experience, and compliance with prevailing wage rules where state or municipal funds exceed specified thresholds. Insurance requirements are standard—general liability of $1,000,000 combined single limit, workers' compensation coverage, and professional liability. Small business, minority-owned business, women-owned business, and disabled veteran business enterprise set-asides and preferences appear regularly across jurisdictions.

Geographic activity spans California, Rhode Island, Texas, and Florida based on recent postings. Representative opportunities include the City of Fort Worth's solicitation (260223, RFP due July 23, 2026) for non-exclusive flooring materials, installation, and services agreements across multiple departments with a 30% small business participation goal; the State of Rhode Island's Open Enrollment Master Price Agreement (OEV26006568, RFQ due June 30, 2030) establishing a tiered qualified vendor list for carpet, tile, wood, and restoration services to state agencies and political subdivisions; the State of California's removal and replacement of carpet and VCT at the Santa Barbara DMV (25-332, IFB due March 31, 2026, estimated cost $102,000 with DVBE requirement); and the California Department of Industrial Relations' carpet and vinyl flooring removal and installation at its Oakland office (S25BMO009, IFB due March 27, 2026, with mandatory pre-bid March 5, 2026, and $800,000 budget).
