UNSPSC 52101504: Cotton rugs

UNSPSC 52101504 Cotton rugs, a Commodity code, covers carpet tile and broadloom installation in meeting rooms, school buildings, apartments, and institutional facilities across state and local jurisdictions. Recent solicitations show state and local governments buying comprehensive carpet replacement services—removal of existing carpet and adhesive, subfloor preparation, installation of specified carpet tiles (typically Shaw or Kinetex brands) with pressure-sensitive or low-VOC adhesive, cove base installation, and debris disposal—priced on a lump-sum or per-square-foot basis with completion windows of one to three months. Issuing bodies include state convention authorities, school districts, city procurement departments, university systems, and public housing authorities. Georgia's World Congress Center Authority and Atlanta Public Schools appear as repeat buyers in recent activity, with multiple phased carpet replacement projects at large institutional facilities.

Recent activity spans Georgia, Florida, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Connecticut. The Georgia World Congress Center Authority has posted at least two separate carpet replacement phases (Building B and Building C meeting rooms) due in March and August 2026, and Atlanta Public Schools solicited district-wide carpet and flooring installation services with a pre-bid conference on February 25, 2026, and bids due March 18, 2026 via IFB. The City of Meriden, Connecticut issued an IFB for media center flooring at Platt High School with a June 3, 2026 response date and a 25 percent small-business set-aside plus 6.25 percent minority-, women-, and disabled-owned business set-aside. The Community Development Authority of Madison, Wisconsin requested bids for carpet tile replacement at Karabis Apartments due July 17, 2026 under Davis-Bacon compliance. The School Board of Seminole County, Florida posted a sole-source notice for Kinetex flooring district-wide with an estimated annual value of $800,000. Contractors commonly must hold $1 million to $2 million general liability coverage, submit performance and payment bonds at 5–100 percent of contract value, and comply with prevailing wage and non-discrimination requirements where federal funding is present.
