UNSPSC 52101513: Carpet protector

UNSPSC 52101513 Carpet protector (Commodity) covers carpet installation and related flooring work that state and local governments solicit for building maintenance and renovation projects. Recent opportunities show scope encompassing removal of existing carpet and adhesive, subfloor inspection and substrate preparation, installation of commercial-grade carpet tile or broadloom with specified patterns and performance ratings, and application of low-VOC adhesives and protective treatments. Work includes coordination of adjacent-surface protection, daily furniture movement during active occupancy, and final cleanup. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include municipal development authorities, county infrastructure departments, and public-property agencies managing portfolio buildings. The work is typically bundled with complementary flooring types—luxury vinyl tile, rubber base cove—and requires compliance with applicable wage, environmental, and nondiscrimination regulations when federal funding is involved.

Recent activity appears concentrated in the Upper Midwest and Mid-Atlantic regions.

Both solicitations require proof of Commercial General Liability insurance at $1 million per occurrence, multiple professional references, and retention of records under federal compliance frameworks when applicable.
