UNSPSC 30161709 Tufted carpeting is a Commodity code that encompasses the purchase and installation of tufted carpet products and carpet tiles across state and local facilities, particularly in schools, higher-education institutions, convention centers, municipal buildings, and public housing authorities.

Issuing bodies include school districts, state agencies, city and county government departments, universities, and special-purpose authorities such as convention center authorities and housing authorities.
