UNSPSC 76111601: Acoustical tile or ceiling cleaning services

UNSPSC 76111601 Acoustical tile or ceiling cleaning services (Commodity) does not reflect the work actually being solicited under this code in recent state and local procurement. The available opportunities span janitorial services, building repairs, infrastructure improvements, and acoustic treatments—none of which align with the nominal scope of cleaning acoustical tiles or ceilings. The County of Orange, California RFP for countywide janitorial services (RFP0172988904JC, due October 27, 2026) covers routine and emergency cleaning across multiple county facilities including offices, detention centers, and clinical spaces, but the scope emphasizes floor care, restroom sanitation, and exterior cleaning rather than ceiling or tile work. The California Department of Motor Vehicles has issued multiple small-business set-asides for after-hours janitorial services at field offices in Watsonville, Goleta, Los Gatos, and Manteca—all focused on daily surface cleaning, restroom maintenance, and floor care under prevailing wage and Displaced Janitor Opportunity Act requirements—but none specifically address acoustical tile cleaning. A small number of opportunities in the block reference acoustical ceilings only incidentally: Texas Southern University's ITB for soundproofing music practice rooms (ITB 71726740, due June 4, 2026) includes Armstrong acoustical ceiling panel installation as part of acoustic treatment; Hillsborough County's quote for drop-ceiling replacement (ITQ2600344, due August 14, 2026) covers grid and tile removal and installation; and Harris County Education's Painting, Drywall, Acoustical Ceilings, and Flooring contract (26021MR) bundles acoustical ceiling work with other interior finishes on a job-order basis. The code shows little focused recent activity in dedicated acoustical tile or ceiling cleaning services.

Issuing bodies in the broader janitorial-services cluster include state departments (California DMV), county governments (Orange County, Hillsborough County), educational institutions (Northside Independent School District in Texas, Harris County Education), and specialized districts (Great Lakes Water Authority, airports). California DMV dominates the visible activity with seven separate small-business set-aside solicitations for after-hours or daytime janitorial services at field offices, each in the $57,600 to $282,600 range over three-year terms and all requiring California Department of Industrial Relations registration, prevailing wage compliance at $36–$38 per hour, and Displaced Janitor Opportunity Act employee retention provisions. Geographic concentration is heavy in California (DMV locations in Sacramento, Goleta, Los Gatos, Watsonville, Manteca, and Riverside) and scattered across Texas (Orange County, Columbus Consolidated Government), Georgia (DeKalb County, City of Lawrenceville), Florida (City of Tarpon Springs, Hillsborough County), and Washington State. The code itself as narrowly defined—cleaning of existing acoustical tiles or ceilings—appears to generate minimal independent solicitation activity; firms pursuing work under this code should focus instead on general janitorial or facilities maintenance contracts where ceiling cleaning may be a line-item duty within a broader scope, or on acoustic treatment and specialty ceiling installation projects that fall outside the traditional tile-cleaning domain.
