UNSPSC 11110000: Earth and stone

UNSPSC 11110000 Earth and stone — a Family code — encompasses the supply and delivery of bulk earth materials, aggregates, seeds, and stone products that state and local governments purchase for infrastructure maintenance, site restoration, grounds work, and emergency response. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring sand for beach erosion control, sod for roadway and park restoration, wildflower seed for habitat and stormwater management, rock salt for winter maintenance, and aggregates for street and utility work. The mix of issuing bodies reflects the distributed nature of grounds and infrastructure maintenance: county departments (Collier County on sod and transit shelters; Orange County on force main materials; Sacramento County on erosion control seed), city public works and parks divisions (Fort Worth on grounds materials; Orlando on soil stabilization; Meriden on stone supplies), transit authorities (Collier Area Transit), special districts (Delaware DNREC, Harris County Flood Control), and state forestry agencies (Texas A&M Forest Service). The code sees steady activity across multiple states, with recent high-value and high-visibility work concentrated in Florida, California, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Arizona, Texas, and Delaware.

Representative recent opportunities include Collier County's ITB for sod supply, delivery, and installation across roadway rights-of-way, medians, parks, and athletic fields (Solicitation 268696, bids due November 9, 2026, with historical annual spend near $1.275 million and a local-vendor preference under county procurement ordinance), City of Orlando's IFB for soil stabilization pressure grouting and sand/cement placement at an embankment adjacent to Florida's Turnpike (IFB26-0227, bids due October 22, 2026, estimated near $5 million), and Delaware DNREC's ITB for shoreline management sand delivery to three Kent County beach locations totaling up to 50,000 cubic yards (ITB NAT27310-SAND, bids due September 28, 2026, with three optional one-year contract extensions and no guaranteed volumes). Geographic concentration leans toward coastal and rapidly-growing metropolitan areas where erosion control, site preparation, and grounds maintenance draw sustained procurement activity; secondary activity spans inland municipalities requiring routine grounds and utility materials. The code is actively pursued and appears to offer reasonable entry velocity for vendors with reliable bulk-material sourcing, local delivery capability, and experience managing government procurement timelines and insurance requirements.
