UNSPSC 72152004: Plain or ornamental plastering service

The installation, maintenance and repair of plain and ornamental plaster to structures owned by others

UNSPSC 72152004 Plain or ornamental plastering service is a Commodity code under which state and local governments purchase interior and exterior finish work including gypsum board assembly, acoustic ceiling installation, painting, wall finishes, and related miscellaneous finishes on renovation and new construction projects. Recent solicitations show a mix of small specialized finishes work and larger renovation scopes where plastering and drywall finishing represents one trade package among many. The issuing bodies are predominantly Washington State agencies and community colleges procuring through the Department of Enterprise Services, alongside some county and municipal buyers. Washington colleges—Skagit Valley College, Tacoma Community College, Bellevue College, Olympic College, Columbia Basin College, Whatcom Community College, Yakima Valley College, Renton Technical College, Walla Walla Community College, and Highline College—appear repeatedly as buyers of renovation and tenant improvement services. Other repeat issuing bodies include the Washington Department of Social and Health Services, Department of Corrections, Department of Enterprise Services, and military installations. One county procurement (Portage County, Wisconsin) shows similar trade-bundled renovation activity on a courthouse renovation project.

The geographic spread is heavily concentrated in Washington State, particularly the Puget Sound region and south-central Washington counties. Recent opportunities posted between May and mid-July 2026 include Tacoma Community College seeking storm sewer and related building improvements (ITB, bid due June 16), Bellevue College's water source heat pump replacement (sealed bid, bid due June 16), Olympic College's military and veterans programs building upgrade with classroom finishes and restroom work (sealed bid, bid due June 10), Columbia Basin College's classroom-to-office remodel in Building D with flooring, ceiling, and partition work (sealed bid, bid due June 9), Lower Columbia College's five-building renovation spanning selective demolition, thermal and moisture protection, gypsum board, flooring, painting, HVAC, and fire detection (sealed bid, bid due June 23), and Portage County's nine-trade courthouse renovation package including gypsum board assemblies and acoustical ceilings (sealed bid, bid due July 23). These opportunities reflect prevailing-wage public works procurement with mandatory apprenticeship utilization, diverse business participation goals (10% MBE, 6% WBE, 5% SBE/PWSBE, 5% veterans), and bid guarantees in the $300,000 to $800,000 range, though the code's abstract name diverges from the actual work being solicited—most posted opportunities are bundled construction trades where finish work is incidental to larger structural, mechanical, and electrical systems replacement.
