UNSPSC 30161711: Outdoor carpeting

UNSPSC 30161711 Outdoor carpeting (Commodity) describes carpet tile and resilient flooring installation services, including removal, surface preparation, and new flooring material supply and installation. State and local governments solicit under this code for carpet replacement and flooring upgrades at facilities ranging from meeting rooms and school buildings to apartments and administrative offices, with specifications typically naming branded products such as Shaw Respond Tile and Mannington Quadrant Collection carpet tiles. Issuing bodies include school districts (Hazel Park Schools in Michigan, Atlanta Public Schools and Seminole County Schools in Georgia and Florida, and the City of Meriden, Connecticut), special-purpose authorities (Georgia World Congress Center Authority), municipal housing agencies (Community Development Authority of Madison, Wisconsin), cities (Philadelphia), university systems (University of Wisconsin Stevens Point), and state procurement offices managing master price agreements (Rhode Island Division of Purchases). Recent solicitations span Georgia, Wisconsin, Connecticut, Michigan, Rhode Island, and Florida, with Georgia and Florida showing concentrated recent activity through the Georgia World Congress Center Authority's phased carpet replacement projects and Seminole County Schools' sole-source Kinetex flooring procurement.

Representative recent 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 with a mandatory pre-bid site visit on July 20, 2026, the City of Meriden's carpet tile installation at Platt High School (IFB, bids due June 3, 2026) specifying Mannington Quadrant Collection tiles with 25 percent small-business and 6.25 percent minority/women/disabled-business set-asides, and the Community Development Authority of Madison's Karabis Apartments carpet replacement (RFB, bids due July 17, 2026) on a federal-funded project requiring Davis-Bacon wage compliance. The Rhode Island Division of Purchases operates an open-enrollment Master Price Agreement (MPA 364) solicitation with vendor questions and proposals due by June 30, 2030, establishing a qualified vendor list for carpet, tile, wood, and similar flooring products and installation across state agencies and political subdivisions; MBE and WBE participation is required. Most recent work-site projects run summer through early fall, with school districts prioritizing completion during annual dismissals. Prevailing wage compliance, comprehensive liability insurance ($1 million to $2 million per occurrence), workers' compensation, and lump-sum pricing are standard across solicitations; bid bonds typically run 5–10 percent of the bid amount, with 60-day bid validity periods and performance/payment bonds at 100 percent of contract price upon award.
