UNSPSC 48131504: Tombstone

A set of stones inscribed with writings to praise the accomplishment of the deceased and sends the same to the descendants.

UNSPSC 48131504 Tombstone is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure stone conservation services for historical cemetery preservation, grave marker stabilization and restoration, and related masonry work on headstones and footstones. The work being solicited includes resetting displaced or unstable markers, repointing deteriorated mortar joints, filling and patching masonry cracks, and cleaning headstones using approved methods without high-pressure equipment. Issuing bodies using this code include county government procurement offices managing historical properties and cemeteries; the recent activity block shows Collier County, Florida conducting the conservation work at Historic Christ Episcopal Church Cemetery in Immokalee. Vendors serving this code must hold professional stone conservation credentials and demonstrated expertise in historical cemetery preservation, meet state-specific business registration and E-Verify requirements, and carry Workers' Compensation, Employer's Liability, Commercial General Liability, and Professional Liability insurance.

Recent activity is sparse. Collier County, Florida issued a Quick Quote (RFQ) solicitation number QQ2026135 for cemetery restoration services on July 2, 2026, with a response deadline of July 10, 2026 and questions due by an earlier date. The award is made on a one-time purchase basis to the responsive vendor with the lowest lump-sum quote, with all prices remaining firm through September 30, 2026. A second opportunity listed under this code — Sourcewell RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment — is plainly unrelated to tombstone conservation and reflects a tagging mismatch rather than activity in the code's actual scope. Geographic activity is limited to Florida in the recent-opportunities block; no multi-state or regional concentration is evident from the source material.
