UNSPSC 52101513: Carpet protector

UNSPSC 52101513 Carpet protector is a Commodity code covering carpet installation and finishing services, including removal of existing flooring, subfloor preparation, installation of new carpet tile or broadloom with specified fiber and backing characteristics, and protective treatments applied during or after installation. State and local governments solicit this work primarily through cities and counties managing public housing, municipal office buildings, and other facility-improvement projects. The work typically involves commercial-grade materials, compliance with wage and labor regulations when federal funding is present, and coordination with occupied or multi-tenant buildings. Issuing bodies include municipal housing authorities, county facility-management departments, and city procurement offices; repeat buyers appear limited in the recent record, with individual projects solicited as discrete efforts rather than through standing contracts or cooperative vehicles.

Activity concentrates in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic, with recent opportunities from Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. The Community Development Authority of the City of Madison posted an RFB on June 29, 2026 for carpet removal and replacement at Karabis Apartments with a July 17, 2026 response date, covering approximately 2,800 square feet of commercial-grade carpet tile installation with Davis-Bacon wage compliance and a one-month completion window. Montgomery County Department of Assets and Infrastructure posted an IFB on May 21, 2026 for flooring installation at One Montgomery Plaza covering approximately 18,000 square feet of carpet, luxury vinyl tile, and base cove across two floors, with a June 9, 2026 response date and a 120-day contract period. Both solicitations required commercial general liability insurance of at least $1 million per occurrence and bidder references demonstrating prior similar installation experience.
