UNSPSC 72152602: Gutter and downspout service

The installation, repair and maintenance of gutters and downspouts in structures owned by others

UNSPSC 72152602 Gutter and downspout service is a Commodity code covering the removal, repair, replacement, and installation of roof drainage systems—gutters, downspouts, and associated fastening and sealing work—on state and local government facilities. State and local governments solicit this work as a standalone commodity through competitive bid and quote processes, and also as a line item within larger roof replacement and building renovation projects. Recent solicitations show mixed issuing-body activity: city community development departments and counties conduct residential gutter and downspout work on CDBG-funded housing rehabilitation properties; community colleges, school districts, and county facilities procure gutter replacement as part of comprehensive roof and building envelope projects; and state agencies and higher education institutions bundle gutter work into facility improvements. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Jackson Community Development Department soliciting gutter replacement and downspout installation at 237 N Gorham Street (IFB, due July 7, 2026) and 1413 Teneyck Street (IFB, due July 1, 2026) under its CDBG housing program, both specifying K-type aluminum gutters with minimum thickness and spaced fasteners; the Community Development Authority of the City of Madison requesting 6-inch seamless gutter and 4-inch by 5-inch downspout installation at Karabis Apartments (RFB, due July 17, 2026) with Davis-Bacon prevailing wage compliance; Monroe County seeking roof replacement with roofing materials and V-Crimp metal installation at the Key West Library (RFP, due July 28, 2026); and Collier County Board of County Commissioners procuring roofing preventative maintenance and repairs across 351 county-owned facilities totaling 1.56 million square feet (RFP, due August 10, 2026), with historical spending at approximately $2.12 million over the current agreement term.

Activity under this code concentrates in the upper Midwest and Southeast, with recent solicitations from Wisconsin (Kenosha County, Madison, Meriden), Michigan (Jackson), Arkansas (Pulaski County), Georgia (Crisp County Schools, White County), Texas (Houston City College, Texas Military Department, Texas Historical Commission, Texas Workforce Commission), and Florida (Monroe County, Collier County). Gutter and downspout work solicited under CDBG housing programs typically imposes federal compliance including Davis-Bacon wage standards, Section 3 employment priorities, and suspension and debarment verification; federal historic preservation standards apply when work involves state historic sites. Residential gutter work ranges from 50 to 180 linear feet, while institutional facilities specify gutter and downspout dimensions, material specifications (aluminum thickness, galvanized coating), fastener spacing standards (typically 30 to 48 inches on center), and pitch requirements (minimum 1 inch in 16 feet). Contractors commonly provide one- to five-year warranties; insurance minimums typically run $500,000 to $1,000,000 general liability. This commodity sees steady activity driven by aging facility infrastructure and housing stock rehabilitation funding cycles.
