UNSPSC 52101500: Rugs and mats

UNSPSC 52101500 Rugs and mats is a Class code under which state and local governments procure carpet tile installation, broadloom carpet removal and replacement, resilient flooring (VCT, LVT, rubber tile), cove base, and complete floor preparation and demolition services for schools, higher education, convention facilities, parks, and municipal buildings. Issuing bodies span independent school districts (Atlanta Public Schools, Hazel Park Schools, Seminole County schools, City of Meriden), higher-education institutions (University of Wisconsin Stevens Point), convention and facilities authorities (Georgia World Congress Center Authority), city procurement offices (City of Philadelphia, City of Madison), and county park and community resources departments (County of Orange, California). The Georgia World Congress Center Authority appears as a repeat buyer, conducting multiple phases of carpet replacement in 2026. Work under the code typically involves specifying materials to brand and model (Shaw Respond Tile, Mannington Quadrant Collection, Kinetex), managing phased installation schedules, and coordinating work with operational constraints such as school dismissal calendars or event schedules at convention centers.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Florida, Wisconsin, Michigan, Connecticut, and California. Representative opportunities include the Georgia World Congress Center Authority's Building C Meeting Room Carpet Replacement Phase IV (IFB, sealed bids due August 3, 2026, covering 41,913 square feet of Shaw carpet tile with mandatory pre-bid site visit July 20, 2026); the City of Meriden, Connecticut's Platt High School media center flooring project (RFQ, bids due June 3, 2026, covering 5,630 square feet of Mannington Quadrant Collection carpet tile with mandatory pre-bid May 14, 2026); Atlanta Public Schools' district-wide carpet and flooring installation services (IFB, bids due March 18, 2026, for broadloom, tile carpet, resilient flooring, and complete removal across multiple buildings on a per-square-foot or hourly rate basis); and the Community Development Authority of Madison, Wisconsin's Karabis Apartments carpet replacement (RFB, bids due July 17, 2026, covering 2,800 square feet of 24"×24" commercial-grade carpet tile under Davis-Bacon wage compliance). School districts and education entities dominate the issuing body mix, with municipal and state facilities authorities as secondary but active buyers. Bid bonds (typically 5–10 percent), performance bonds (100 percent of contract price), prevailing wage compliance, workers' compensation, and general liability insurance of $1–2 million are standard contract requirements.
