UNSPSC 73141704: Carpet or rug manufacturing services

UNSPSC 73141704 Carpet or rug manufacturing services is a Commodity code that covers flooring removal, substrate preparation, and commercial carpet tile installation in public facilities. State and local governments use this code to procure turnkey carpet replacement projects in schools, county conference centers, and other public buildings, typically bundling material supply, labor, and ancillary work such as subfloor preparation, cove base installation, and warranty obligations into single fixed-price or lump-sum contracts. Issuing bodies are primarily municipal and county procurement offices; school districts also appear as end-users when work is performed at school facilities funded through municipal or DRIP grants. The work involves removal of existing flooring, concrete patching or substrate remediation, installation of specified or equivalent commercial-grade modular carpet tile, and project close-out including debris removal and final inspection.

Recent activity concentrates in the Mountain West and Northeast. The City of Meriden, Connecticut issued an Invitation to Bid (B02656) on May 4, 2026, for carpet tile replacement at Orville H. Platt High School covering 5,630 square feet, with a June 3, 2026 response deadline, a mandatory pre-bid meeting on May 14, and compliance with a 25 percent small business enterprise set-aside and 6.25 percent minority-, women-, and disabled-owned business enterprise set-aside on state-funded portions. Uintah County, Utah issued a Request for Proposal (UC2610) on April 9, 2026, for ballroom carpet replacement at the Uintah Conference Center covering 13,000 square feet, with a May 8, 2026 response deadline (public opening May 13), a mandatory pre-submittal meeting on April 15, and technical scoring criteria allocating 700 of 1,000 total evaluation points to experience, installation approach, project schedule, product performance, and warranty—with cost worth 300 points. Neither solicitation discloses an estimated contract value or identifies incumbent vendors. Both require proof of business licensure, insurance, and project references; both mandate on-site attendance at pre-bid or pre-submittal meetings as a condition of bid acceptance.
