UNSPSC 30161708: Knotted carpeting

UNSPSC 30161708 Knotted carpeting (Commodity) covers carpet tile installation and removal services in state and local facilities, including schools, convention centers, public housing, and university buildings. Recent solicitations show state and local governments purchasing Shaw and Mannington carpet tiles for classroom renovations, meeting rooms, and common areas, with scope typically encompassing demolition of existing carpet, floor preparation, tile installation using pressure-sensitive or low-VOC adhesive, cove base work, and disposal. Issuing bodies span school districts (Atlanta Public Schools, Hazel Park Schools, Seminole County Schools, City of Meriden), state facility authorities (Georgia World Congress Center Authority, University of Wisconsin Stevens Point), municipal housing and development agencies (Community Development Authority of Madison, Georgia World Congress Center Authority), and state procurement offices establishing qualified vendor lists (Rhode Island Division of Purchases). The Georgia World Congress Center Authority appears as a repeat buyer, conducting multiple phases of carpet replacement across buildings in 2026.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Wisconsin, Connecticut, Florida, and Michigan. Representative opportunities include the Georgia World Congress Center Authority's Building C Meeting Room Carpet Replacement Phase IV (IFB, bids due August 3, 2026), covering 41,913 square feet of Shaw carpet tile installation across three phases in December 2026 with mandatory pre-bid site visit on July 20, 2026; the City of Meriden's carpet tile replacement at Platt High School (RFQ, bids due June 3, 2026), covering 5,630 square feet with a 25% small-business set-aside and 6.25% minority/women/disabled-owned set-aside under prevailing wage requirements; the Community Development Authority of Madison's Karabis Apartments carpet removal and replacement (RFB, bids due July 17, 2026), covering 2,800 square feet of commercial-grade carpet tile with Davis-Bacon compliance; and the Rhode Island Division of Purchases' Master Price Agreement 364 for flooring installation and restoration services statewide (RFQ, proposals due June 30, 2030), establishing a qualified vendor list for delivery of carpet tiles, installation, and wood floor restoration across state agencies and municipalities with MBE/WBE participation requirements and prevailing wage compliance. Most recent school district and municipal projects require performance bonds, comprehensive liability insurance ($1 million to $2 million per occurrence), workers' compensation, and completion within four to eight weeks of notice to proceed.
