UNSPSC 52101512: Chair mat

UNSPSC 52101512 Chair mat is a Commodity code that in practice covers flooring installation and replacement work—specifically commercial carpet and luxury vinyl tile (LVT) installation in public buildings, often as part of larger facility improvement projects. State and local governments procure under this code to replace worn carpet in apartments, office buildings, and other municipal properties, frequently bundled with substrate preparation, removal and disposal of existing flooring, base cove installation, and labor supervision. The issuing bodies are typically municipal and county government entities managing public housing or administrative facilities, with ongoing responsibility for capital maintenance and renovation at multiple locations.

Recent activity shows the code active in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. The Community Development Authority of the City of Madison issued an RFB on June 29, 2026 (RFB #15050-0-2026-AH, due July 17, 2026) for carpet tile replacement at Karabis Apartments covering approximately 2,800 square feet of commercial-grade installation with Davis-Bacon compliance; Montgomery County, Pennsylvania's Department of Assets and Infrastructure posted an IFB on May 21, 2026 (due June 9, 2026) for approximately 18,000 square feet of mixed carpet and LVT flooring installation across two floors of One Montgomery Plaza. Both solicitations required proof of Commercial General Liability insurance of at least $1 million per occurrence, three professional references, and were subject to federal wage and nondiscrimination requirements. The Madison project was federally funded through HUD with completion expected within one month; the Montgomery County project was funded in whole or in part by federal grants and subject to Davis-Bacon wage requirements.
