UNSPSC 30161713: Carpet pads

UNSPSC 30161713 Carpet pads (Commodity) covers carpet tile installation and removal services, commercial-grade carpet materials, and associated flooring base products that state and local governments procure on an as-needed and project basis across facilities including schools, courthouses, libraries, transit facilities, and public buildings. Recent opportunities emphasize modular carpet tile (often specified by brand such as Tarkett, Shaw, or Mannington) paired with removal and disposal of existing flooring, substrate preparation, cove or rubber base installation, and labor-inclusive pricing. Issuing bodies include state agencies, county school districts, municipal courts, airport authorities, library systems, public-housing authorities, and consolidated city-county governments. A mix of competitive sealed bids, RFPs, and ITBs dominate the notice type; local-vendor preferences, prevailing wage compliance, and set-asides for small business, minority-owned, women-owned, and disabled-veteran-owned vendors appear frequently.

Recent opportunities span multiple states with significant clustering in the Southeast and mid-Atlantic.
