UNSPSC 72153605: Kitchen and bathroom remodeling service

The remodeling and repair of kitchens and bathrooms owned by others

UNSPSC 72153605 Kitchen and bathroom remodeling service, a Commodity code, encompasses residential kitchen and bathroom fixture replacement, appliance installation, plumbing and electrical upgrades, flooring, cabinetry, and interior finishes in single-family homes funded through community development, housing rehabilitation, and property improvement programs. State and local governments procure under this code primarily through county community redevelopment agencies, city community development departments, and school districts, with work tailored to owner-occupied residential rehabilitation, disaster recovery, and minor-to-major home repair initiatives. Escambia County, Florida emerges as the dominant repeat buyer, posting at least nine residential rehabilitation solicitations since early June 2026, all managed through its community development and housing programs with contact through Scott Sanchez at the NED (Neighborhood and Economic Development) office; the City of Lubbock, Texas Community Development follows as a secondary frequent issuer, posting multiple CDBG-funded minor rehabilitation projects for single-family homes. The work is geographically concentrated in Florida (particularly Escambia County in the Panhandle) and Texas (Lubbock and statewide DPS facilities), with secondary activity in Georgia, Mississippi, and scattered single-property projects in other states. Representative recent opportunities include Escambia County's ITQ for roof and interior rehabilitation at 119 Brandon Avenue (quote due July 30, 2026, including new roofing, fascia, soffit, gutters, and structural repairs with 30-day completion and $50/day liquidated damages); the City of Lubbock ITB 2026-115RD for minor rehabilitation of a single-family home (bids due July 27, 2026); and Escambia County's ITQ for comprehensive home rehabilitation at 8416 James Taylor Lane including roofing, HVAC, kitchen appliances, bathroom fixtures, flooring, and electrical upgrades (quotes due July 17, 2026, with 60-day completion and $150/day liquidated damages).

Work is marketed and solicited through county e-procurement portals (OpenGov in Escambia County), with mandatory pre-bid meetings or site walks and sealed-bid or quote submission requirements. Scope details across recent solicitations show consistent bundling of roofing replacement (architectural shingles or modified bitumen, hurricane clips, fascia, soffit, gutters), kitchen and bathroom finishes (specified appliances—GE ranges, Whirlpool refrigerators, Delta and American Standard fixtures, Shaw flooring, Broan ventilation), HVAC systems, electrical rewiring and panel upgrades, plumbing with braided supply lines, and weatherization (windows, doors, underlayment). Contractors must hold Florida or Texas state licensure (general or building contractor), county competency board licenses where required, EPA RRP certifications for lead-safe work, current insurance ($1 million Commercial General Liability with county as additional insured and certificate holder), and Worker's Compensation coverage or exemption documentation. Projects valued at $25,000 or higher require 100 percent Performance and Payment Bonds prior to Notice to Proceed. Payment is typically lump-sum upon completion for smaller projects, or progress-draw-based (40% at 50% completion, substantial completion draw, final upon inspection) for larger awards. Completion timelines range from 30 to 60 days with liquidated damages of $50 to $150 per day for delays. Funding sources include CDBG, SHIP (State Housing Initiatives Partnerships Program), and local housing rehabilitation budgets with no federal set-asides reported in the recent solicitations.
