UNSPSC 72153204: Damp proofing service

The installation and maintenance of damp proofing on structures owned by others

UNSPSC 72153204 Damp proofing service (Commodity) covers waterproofing, envelope sealing, and moisture-prevention work on building exteriors and roofs that state and local governments solicit regularly. Recent opportunities show the code capturing a broad set of envelope-restoration activities: roof weatherization and sealant repair, standing-seam and bitumen roof restoration with waterproofing membranes, building envelope engineering assessments, and moisture intrusion remediation on municipal and educational facilities. The issuing-body mix spans city governments (Tallahassee, Santa Cruz, Madison, Atlanta, Tybee Island), county water authorities and school districts (Macon Water Authority, Macon-Bibb County, DeKalb County School District, San Jacinto Community College District, Austin Community College, Harris County Department of Education), and special districts. Work is typically competitively bid under RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB notice types, with scoring heavily weighted toward experience, qualifications, and capacity (often 40–80 points combined) over price. Contractors must hold relevant licenses (roofing, general contracting), maintain $1 million to $2 million in general liability and errors-and-omissions coverage, and provide audited financials and references demonstrating prior envelope work at comparable facilities.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (Macon-Bibb County, DeKalb County, Glynn County, City of Atlanta, City of Tybee Island), Texas (Houston and Austin college districts), Connecticut (City of Meriden, Real Art Ways renovation), Florida (City of DeBary), Wisconsin (City of Madison), and California (City of Santa Cruz). Representative recent solicitations include Macon-Bibb County RFP 27-002-LH for fire suppression and building maintenance services at Middle Georgia Regional Airport, due August 13, 2026, with pre-bid on July 22; San Jacinto Community College District CSP 26-12 for roof coating and building envelope repairs on a 43,000-square-foot modified bitumen roof in Houston, due May 6, 2026, with a project estimate of $1.9 million; City of Madison RFB 15026-0-2026 for roof replacement at Normal Hall, a historic building on an archaeological site, due August 6, 2026, with mandatory pre-bid site visit July 22 and local-vendor scoring preference; and Austin Community College IDIQ RFQ 925-26-277-00-M-JA for indefinite building envelope engineering services, responses due June 10, 2026. The code also captures routine maintenance and emergency services—DeKalb County School District ITB 26-707 for district-wide roofing and emergency repairs across 139 schools requires 4-hour response times; Macon Water Authority multiple roof replacement projects at water reclamation facilities with mandatory pre-bids and 20-year warranties. Activity suggests sustained municipal and institutional investment in building envelope integrity and preventive maintenance, with strong preference for established contractors with auditable experience and financial stability.
