UNSPSC 52101509: Decorative mats

UNSPSC 52101509 Decorative mats (Commodity) describes products and services that state and local governments acquire as consumable or rental floor coverings for facility operations — entry mats, walk-off mats, and related mat services for offices, schools, fire stations, and other public buildings. Recent solicitations show the code capturing two distinct procurement patterns: one-time purchases of mats as part of broader janitorial supply bundles, and ongoing rental services for mats delivered and maintained by service contractors on a weekly or as-needed basis. Issuing bodies include county commissions, school districts, and state agencies. The Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issued ITB 2600319 in July 2026 seeking consumable janitorial and operational supplies (including mats) for 47 fire stations across the county, with an estimated contract value of $765,679.84 and bids due July 24, 2026; Marion County School District in Mississippi posted a bid for mat and mop rental services with a June 3, 2026 deadline; and the Oregon Department of Veterans' Affairs issued RFQ S-27400-00015996 in February 2026 for weekly floor mat services covering six mats in varying sizes at its Salem building, with quotes due March 12, 2026. School districts dominate the recent activity, with Pinellas County School District (Florida), Madison County Schools (Georgia), and Muscogee County School District (Georgia) each soliciting custodial supplies that include mats or mat-related items.

Geographic concentration appears strongest in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic, with recent activity in Florida (Hillsborough County, Pinellas County, Marion County), Georgia (Madison County, Muscogee County), Mississippi (Marion County School District), and Texas (Harris County). The Harris County ITB in April 2026 specified weekly floor mat services as part of a uniform rental and laundry contract with a one-year initial term and four optional renewals, bids due May 4, 2026. Oregon and New Jersey also show activity, though the Newark, New Jersey procurement (ITB 2021-40, dated August 2021) is outdated. Recent opportunities reveal purchasing patterns split between one-time warehouse stocking of mat inventory for school districts and municipalities, and recurring service contracts for mat rental, delivery, and maintenance performed at operational facilities. Pricing approaches vary: some solicitations bundle mats into larger janitorial supply line items, while others isolate mat rental as a distinct service with weekly or monthly billing and inventory reporting requirements.
