UNSPSC 30162203: Solid surface countertop

Type of countertop made of solid synthetic sheets formed by mixing a mineral compound with polyester and/or acrylic resins, the countertop is smooth and uniform throughout. It has the look of stone without the seams or potential color variations

UNSPSC 30162203 Solid surface countertop is a Commodity code covering fabrication and installation of engineered synthetic countertop materials—primarily acrylic-based solid surface products like Corian and Staron, along with quartz composites—for state and local government buildings, correctional facilities, and HUD-funded housing. State and local jurisdictions buy this code for kitchen and bathroom countertops across administrative offices, corrections facilities, and multifamily housing, often bundled with cabinet replacement or millwork packages. Issuing bodies include state corrections departments, municipal housing authorities, city facilities departments, and county agencies. Recent solicitations show mixed scopes: some procure material supply only with installation performed by government staff; others require full fabrication and installation by the contractor, subject to Davis-Bacon prevailing wage when HUD-funded and HUD Section 3 compliance on federally subsidized housing projects. Specifications commonly name brand-specific products—Corian, Staron, Wilsonart Quartz—or approved equivalents, with ADA accessibility and durability requirements standard in institutional settings. Performance and payment bonds, insurance minimums, and experience requirements (typically three to five years of similar work) are routine.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Florida, Illinois, and Oregon. The Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission is pre-qualifying millwork vendors for a complete millwork package on a new state prison facility in Davisboro with SOQs due November 4, 2026 and installation running June 2027 through February 2028. The City of Pembroke Pines issued IFB #CS-26-03 for supply and installation of Wilsonart Quartz countertops across two HUD-funded housing developments (96 total units) with an estimated project cost of $180,000 and bids due September 22, 2026; the same city issued a second bid on an as-needed basis for the same housing developments. The Housing Authority of Clackamas County in Oregon posted a competitive IFB for cabinet and countertop replacement across multiple public housing properties under a Davis-Bacon prevailing wage contract with bids due June 3, 2026. The Illinois Department of Corrections solicited bids on Corian countertops and commercial-grade cabinets for a healthcare unit at Vandalia Correctional Center under a small purchase (contract value under $50,000) with bids due May 19, 2026. The City of Tucson posted an RFP for Staron solid surface countertops and supplies (material only, no installation) with responses due October 9, 2023, though this notice appears outdated. Vendors pursuing this code should expect to manage project phasing at multiple sites, compliance with federal wage and Section 3 labor standards on HUD-funded work, and local preference scoring in competitive jurisdictions.
