UNSPSC 72152101: Acoustical and ceiling work service

The hanging, repair and maintenance ofacoustical tile and ceiling panels to structures owned by others

UNSPSC 72152101 Acoustical and ceiling work service is a Commodity code covering interior finish installation and repair work on building ceilings and sound-control systems. State and local governments use this code to solicit bids for acoustic ceiling replacement, suspended grid systems, gypsum board assembly, sound attenuation upgrades, and related architectural finishes in schools, colleges, county facilities, and state agency buildings. The buying jurisdictions span community colleges, state departments, county governments, and special-purpose districts across multiple states, with Washington State community colleges (Skagit Valley College, Shoreline Community College, Whatcom Community College, Tacoma Community College, and others) appearing frequently in the recent opportunity stream. Work under the code falls into two primary categories: standalone acoustical or ceiling projects, and ceiling work bundled within larger building renovation, remodel, or upgrade contracts where acoustic ceilings represent one of several interior finish trades.

Recent solicitations include Portage County, Wisconsin's Courthouse Renovation–Family Courts (solicitation 202625PC, ITB issued July 6, 2026, bids due July 23, 2026), which explicitly listed "Acoustical Ceilings and Surfaces" as one of nine trade packages managed by J.H. Findorff as Construction Manager at Risk, and Lower Columbia College's Renovation & Minor Improvements project (solicitation 2026014G11, bids due June 23, 2026), where gypsum board and finishes work formed part of a multi-building renovation spanning selective demolition, roofing, HVAC, electrical, and fire alarm systems. Multiple Washington State community college projects over the past two months have incorporated ceiling work as a subcontract line—including Nelson Hall HVAC replacement at Skagit Valley College (2026142G11), Walla Walla Community College's Supply Fan 4 Retrofit (2026060G11), and Columbia Basin College's Building D Classroom-to-Office Remodel (2026259G11)—signaling steady demand from higher-education facilities maintenance and upgrade work. The code shows modest recent activity concentrated in Washington State and Wisconsin; no standout single issuing body dominates the stream, though Washington community college systems account for a noticeable cluster of opportunities. Bidders pursuing this code should prepare for both standalone finish packages and subcontract roles within larger construction management and general contracting vehicles, with prevailing wage, apprenticeship utilization, and diverse business goals standard across public works procurements in the region.
