UNSPSC 52101517: Synthetic mat

Synthetic piece of fabric material placed on a floor or other flat surface.

UNSPSC 52101517 Synthetic mat (Commodity) covers carpet tile and sheet flooring installation and removal in state and local facilities — work that state and local governments solicit regularly for meeting rooms, school media centers, residential housing, and institutional buildings. Recent opportunities show carpet tile dominance (Shaw Respond Tile 5T310, Mannington Quadrant Collection, Kinetex) alongside resilient flooring such as vinyl plank and LVT, with scope spanning complete floor demolition, substrate prep, adhesive installation, cove base work, and disposal. Issuing bodies span school districts (Hazel Park Schools, Meriden public schools, Atlanta Public Schools, Seminole County Schools, University of Wisconsin Stevens Point), city governments (Meriden, Philadelphia, Madison), special-purpose authorities (Georgia World Congress Center Authority), and housing authorities (Community Development Authority of Madison). The Georgia World Congress Center Authority appears across multiple recent solicitations, indicating steady venue-maintenance demand. Geographic activity clusters in Georgia (Atlanta Public Schools, Georgia World Congress Center Authority phases in February and July 2026), Wisconsin (Madison CDA, University of Stevens Point), Connecticut (Meriden), Michigan (Hazel Park Schools), and Florida (Seminole County Schools).

Representative recent opportunities include the Georgia World Congress Center Authority's Building C Meeting Room Carpet Replacement Phase IV (IFB, bids due August 3, 2026 at 1:00 p.m., 41,913 square feet of Shaw carpet tile with mandatory pre-bid July 20, 2026), the City of Meriden's Platt High School Media Center flooring replacement (bids due June 3, 2026, 5,630 square feet, subject to 25 percent small-business and 6.25 percent minority/women/disabled-business set-asides under Connecticut law), the Community Development Authority of Madison's Karabis Apartments carpet tile project (RFB due July 17, 2026, 2,800 square feet, Davis-Bacon wage compliance required), and Atlanta Public Schools' district-wide carpet and flooring installation services (IFB due March 18, 2026, one-year term with four renewal options, broadloom and tile carpet plus resilient flooring, with local-vendor preference for contractors registered in Clayton, Cobb, DeKalb, Fulton, or Gwinnett counties). One source record (Philadelphia intake sites) carries the code tag but describes general supplies unrelated to flooring and does not represent genuine activity under this code.
