UNSPSC 30161711: Outdoor carpeting

UNSPSC 30161711 Outdoor carpeting is a Commodity code that encompasses the purchase and installation of carpet products—including roll carpet, tile carpet, carpet base materials, and modular carpet tiles—for state and local government facilities. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring both standard commercial carpet (in rolls and tiles) and specialized products such as non-slip flooring and dance-floor components, paired with associated installation labor, demolition of existing flooring, substrate preparation, and disposal services. Issuing bodies include city and county governments (Columbus Consolidated Government, City of San Antonio, Superior Court of California County of Butte, Georgia World Congress Center Authority, City of Meriden), large school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools with 235 schools, School Board of Seminole County), transit and special-purpose authorities, and state procurement offices establishing vendor lists for use across multiple subdivisions. The scope regularly includes site-specific requirements such as prevailing wage compliance on public works projects, fire-performance specifications, low-emission material compliance, manufacturer warranties (commonly ten years), and adherence to accessibility standards. Carpet installation work occurs across courthouses, schools, office facilities, training rooms, and multifamily housing.

Geographic activity spans the Southeast (Georgia, Florida, South Carolina), Mid-Atlantic (Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Maryland), Southwest (Texas), and Upper Midwest (Wisconsin), with no single state dominating recent postings. Representative opportunities include Columbus Consolidated Government's RFB No. 27-0015 (November 18, 2026 response date) for roll carpet, tile carpet, and installation on an as-needed basis across municipal facilities under a two-year contract with local-vendor preference; the City of San Antonio's purchase and installation of carpet at the Frank Wing Building (October 28, 2026 response date); Hillsborough County Public Schools ITB 26190-MST for carpet tile, vinyl, epoxy, and related installation across a seven-campus district (with July 23, 2026 technical-question deadline and August 6, 2026 bid due date); and the State of Rhode Island Division of Purchases' Open Enrollment Master Price Agreement 364 (June 30, 2030 deadline) establishing a qualified-vendor list for carpet, tile, wood, and similar products installation and restoration across state agencies and political subdivisions. The Rhode Island MPA also illustrates a multi-year, mini-bid model where pricing is quoted competitively upon state agency request rather than fixed at qualification. Set-asides and preferences vary by issuing body—small-business, minority-owned, women-owned, disabled-veteran, and LGBTQ-business certifications appear across multiple solicitations—and Davis-Bacon or prevailing-wage compliance is standard where federal funding or state threshold requirements apply.
