UNSPSC 72153108: Tennis court construction service

The building of tennis courts owned by others

UNSPSC 72153108 Tennis court construction service is a Commodity code covering the reconstruction, resurfacing, and installation of tennis courts, pickleball courts, and related hard-surface athletic facilities that state and local governments solicit from contractors. State and local buyers are primarily county parks and recreation departments, city recreation bureaus, school districts (including charter schools), and special-purpose districts, with activity spread across multiple states. Recent solicitations show a mix of complete court reconstruction projects—in which courts are demolished and rebuilt—and overlay resurfacing work on existing asphalt or concrete surfaces, often including new equipment installation (nets, posts, benches) and line striping to USTA or ASBA standards. Bidders encounter strict material and system specifications: the City of Palo Alto's recent resurfacing work (IFB 197312A, bids due July 29, 2026) mandates use of California Products Corporation's Plexipave System applied by authorized vendors and carries California prevailing wage requirements. Forsyth County, Georgia has posted multiple tennis court opportunities, including reconstruction at Sawnee Mountain Park (ITB due July 16, 2026) and resurfacing at Matt Community Park (ITB due July 23, 2026). Issuing bodies soliciting under the code include county parks departments (Forsyth County, DeKalb County, Collier County, Hillsborough County in Florida), cities (Palo Alto, Tucker, Ashland, Orange Beach, Stamford, Westport), school districts (Granite School District in Utah, Cirrus Academy Charter School in Georgia, Elk Rapids Schools in Michigan), and independent recreation authorities. Work is frequently subject to prevailing wage requirements in California and other union-heavy jurisdictions.

The code sees active procurement in California (Palo Alto), Georgia (Forsyth County, DeKalb County, Pierce County, Tucker, City of Tybee Island, City of Douglas), Florida (Hillsborough County, Collier County, Orange Beach, Alabama area), Connecticut (Stamford, Westport), Utah (West Valley City, Granite School District), Oregon (Ashland), Michigan (Elk Rapids), and Texas (San Antonio). Recent representative opportunities include West Valley City's Centennial Park hard-court improvement project (RFP due August 12, 2026) combining pickleball and basketball courts with lighted facilities and shade structures across 12+ courts, and Granite School District's resurfacing of five tennis courts at Hunter High School in Utah (IFB due June 22, 2026) requiring full-time site superintendent oversight and three years of court-resurfacing experience. Many solicitations demand bid bonds (typically 5–10 percent of bid), performance and payment bonds equal to 100 percent of the contract amount, and general liability insurance of $1 million to $3 million per occurrence. Liquidated damages for schedule delays are common, ranging from $250 to $1,050 per day depending on jurisdiction and project scope.
