UNSPSC 30161708: Knotted carpeting

UNSPSC 30161708 Knotted carpeting is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of carpet products and installation services, spanning roll carpet, carpet tile, commercial modular carpet, and associated labor for facility renovation and maintenance. The work being solicited ranges from modest single-building replacements—such as meeting rooms, courtrooms, and administrative offices—to district-wide flooring programs across schools and public facilities. Issuing bodies include city consolidated governments, municipal procurement offices, county school districts, state authorities managing convention centers and public buildings, and county courts. Cities of Columbus and San Antonio, Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida (the seventh-largest school system with approximately 225,000 students), and the Georgia World Congress Center Authority appear as recent active buyers. Installation labor is typically bundled with product pricing on a lump-sum or unit-cost basis, often including demolition, substrate preparation, disposal, and warranty provisions ranging from one to ten years.

Carpet procurement activity concentrates in Georgia, Florida, Texas, California, Connecticut, Wisconsin, and Rhode Island, with recent opportunities spanning September 2026 through August 2026 response windows. Representative recent solicitations include Columbus Consolidated Government's RFB No. 27-0015 for roll carpet, tile carpet, carpet base, and installation across city and county facilities (due November 18, 2026), with local-vendor preference honoring bids within one to two percent of low bid; the City of San Antonio's purchase and installation of carpet at the Frank Wing Building (due October 28, 2026, with pre-bid conference on October 21); Hillsborough County Public Schools' ITB 26190-MST for flooring materials including 22,300 square yards of carpet tile, vinyl, epoxy, and luxury vinyl tile across 235 schools (due August 6, 2026, encouraging SBE, MBE, WBE, and DVBE participation); and the Georgia World Congress Center Authority's IFB for carpet replacement across fourteen meeting rooms in Building C using Shaw carpet tile (due August 3, 2026, with mandatory pre-bid site visit). The State of Rhode Island Division of Purchases has established a Master Price Agreement (MPA 364) for a qualified vendor list providing carpet, tile, wood, and restoration services to state agencies and political subdivisions statewide through June 30, 2030. Set-asides and preferences vary by jurisdiction: Columbus Consolidated Government applies local-vendor preference; Hillsborough County Public Schools encourages certified SBE, MBE, WBE, and service-disabled veteran participation; Superior Court of California, County of Butte offers a three percent DVBE preference; and Connecticut's Platt High School project mandates a minimum 25 percent set-aside for certified Small Businesses and an additional 6.25 percent for Minority-, Women-, and Disabled-owned Businesses.
