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 is a Commodity code that encompasses residential and light commercial renovation work—specifically fixture replacement, finishes, plumbing and electrical upgrades, and related structural and MEP work in kitchens and bathrooms. State and local governments are actively soliciting under this code for owner-occupied residential rehabilitation funded through community development block grants and state housing programs, as well as for facility improvements at public buildings including schools, utilities, and municipal offices. The mix of issuing bodies reflects this breadth: the City of Ocala (Florida) has issued multiple ITBs for single-family residential rehabilitation across nine projects since late September 2026, Escambia County (Florida) is running a series of residential rehab quotes through its Neighborhood Enterprise Division, and Sarasota County (Florida) is procuring facility renovations at public structures. Counties, municipalities, and school districts dominate the activity; state agencies and community colleges also participate. Recent work has focused on bathroom and kitchen fixture replacement (vanities, toilets, faucets, cabinetry), plumbing and sewer tie-in services, HVAC system replacement with energy-efficiency requirements, electrical panel upgrades and wiring, flooring (vinyl plank, ceramic tile, carpet), roofing, and interior finishes including painting and drywall repair.

Activity is concentrated in Florida—Ocala, Escambia County, Sarasota County, and other municipalities have issued the majority of recent solicitations—with secondary activity in Mississippi and Georgia. The City of Ocala alone has posted roughly a dozen ITBs for residential rehabilitation projects (response dates ranging from February through May 2026 for older solicitations and into July 2026 for newer work); Escambia County has issued multiple ITQs due in October 2026 for single-family renovations at addresses including 1050 Bremen Ave, 1117 Colbet Ave, 703 Montclair Road, and 2414 W. Moreno Street, all requiring licensed Florida general contractors with a minimum of three years' residential rehabilitation experience and submission through the OpenGov portal. The City of Ocala's recent ITB for residential rehabilitation at 1704 SW 5th Place (ITBCHS260810) closed with bids due October 1, 2026, and called for window replacement, plumbing, electrical, comprehensive hall bathroom renovation with ADA-compliant grab bars, interior painting, exterior stucco repair, and permit procurement within 60 calendar days under a lump-sum pricing structure. Liquidated damages of $250 per calendar day apply consistently across recent Ocala and Escambia County projects for delays past the deadline. Most solicitations are ITBs or ITQs with mandatory pre-bid site visits, and all demand lump-sum or itemized line-item pricing, proof of licensure and insurance (typically $1 million general liability, $2 million aggregate), and performance/payment bonds for contracts exceeding $25,000. Work is predominantly funded through Community Development Block Grants, State Housing Improvement Program (SHIP), and local general funds; federal compliance varies by funding source but often includes asbestos and lead-based paint surveys and remediation protocols.
