UNSPSC 52101501: Oriental rugs

UNSPSC 52101501 Oriental rugs is a Commodity code that covers carpet and flooring materials and installation services, though recent state and local solicitations under this code focus overwhelmingly on commercial carpet tile, roll carpet, vinyl flooring, and related installation work rather than traditional oriental rugs. State and local government buyers procure carpet products—including modular carpet tile, roll carpet, vinyl, epoxy, and luxury vinyl tile—along with complete installation labor, surface preparation, adhesive application, and removal and disposal of existing flooring across municipal buildings, courthouses, schools, and public facilities. Issuing bodies span municipalities (Columbus Consolidated Government, City of San Antonio, City of Philadelphia, City of Meriden, Superior Court of California County of Butte), county governments and special districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools, Seminole County Schools, Georgia World Congress Center Authority), and independent school districts. The types of work range from single-room replacements (San Antonio's Frank Wing Building carpet replacement, Meriden's Platt High School media center flooring) to large district-wide or multi-facility programs (Hillsborough County's seven-category flooring procurement spanning 22,300 square yards of carpet tile plus vinyl and epoxy work; Georgia World Congress Center's 41,913 square feet of carpet tile replacement across fourteen meeting rooms in multiple phases).

Recent activity spans Georgia (Georgia World Congress Center Authority's Building C carpet replacement, Seminole County Schools' Kinetex flooring sole source at $800,000 estimated annual value), Texas (San Antonio's Frank Wing Building), Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools' flooring services ITB), Ohio (Columbus Consolidated Government's carpet RFB), California (Butte County Superior Court's carpet and base installation), Connecticut (Meriden's Platt High School project with 25 percent small-business and additional minority/women/disabled-owned business set-asides), Wisconsin (Madison Community Development Authority's Karabis Apartments carpet removal and replacement under Davis-Bacon compliance), and Pennsylvania (Philadelphia's privacy rug micro purchase and general supplies RFQ). Representative recent opportunities include Columbus Consolidated Government's RFB No. 27-0015 for roll carpet, tile carpet, carpet base, and installation services across city and county facilities due November 18, 2026, with local-vendor preference pricing; Hillsborough County Public Schools' ITB 26190-MST due August 6, 2026, for carpet tile, vinyl, epoxy, and tile flooring materials and labor across 235 schools; the Superior Court of California County of Butte's IFB SP-2026-0023 due September 15, 2026, for approximately 717 square feet of Tarkett Powerbond Hybrid carpet tile installation with 3 percent DVBE preference; and Georgia World Congress Center Authority's IFB for carpet replacement in Building C due August 3, 2026, with a mandatory pre-bid site visit and strict communication restrictions in effect from advertisement through award.
