UNSPSC 52101502: Area rugs

UNSPSC 52101502 Area rugs, a Commodity code, encompasses carpet tile, roll carpet, and modular carpet installation services that state and local governments procure for facility renovation, replacement, and maintenance across office buildings, courthouses, schools, and civic centers. State and local buyers under this code range from city and county governments to independent school districts, transit and venue authorities, and community development agencies. Recent solicitations show demand for commercial-grade carpet tile with specific performance ratings, complete installation labor including floor preparation and disposal, and bundled services on both as-needed and project-specific bases. A local-vendor preference appears in several recent opportunities, and prevailing wage compliance is common when projects involve public buildings or federal funding.

Activity concentrates in the Southeast and mid-Atlantic jurisdictions. Columbus Consolidated Government (Georgia) issued RFB No. 27-0015 for roll, tile, and modular carpet with base materials across multiple facilities (bid due November 18, 2026); the City of San Antonio, Texas solicited carpet installation at the Frank Wing Building via IFB (due October 28, 2026); Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida) sought carpet tile, vinyl flooring, and epoxy services across 235 schools under ITB 26190-MST (due August 6, 2026); Superior Court of California, County of Butte posted two nearly identical bids for Tarkett Powerbond carpet tiles in a courthouse training room (due September 15, 2026); the City of Meriden, Connecticut requested media-center flooring replacement at Platt High School with 25 percent small-business and 6.25 percent minority/women/disabled-owned set-asides (due June 3, 2026); and the Community Development Authority of Madison, Wisconsin sought commercial carpet tile replacement at Karabis Apartments under Davis-Bacon wage compliance (due July 17, 2026). Georgia World Congress Center Authority awarded building-wide modular carpet-tile work in December 2026, and Seminole County Schools, Florida pursued a sole-source procurement for Kinetex non-slip flooring with an estimated annual expenditure of $800,000.
