UNSPSC 11111505: Artificial soil

A type of soil that is artificially manufactured by combining and adjusting ingredients.

UNSPSC 11111505 Artificial soil, a Commodity code, encompasses the procurement and delivery of engineered and natural soil products for landscaping, site restoration, infrastructure construction, and recreational use. State and local governments purchase prepared soil mixes, fill dirt, topsoil, and specialty soil amendments on both one-time and recurring as-needed bases for parks, athletic facilities, public works projects, environmental remediation, and utility maintenance. The issuing bodies span city departments, county governments, state agencies, and special-purpose authorities—including municipalities like Dallas, St. Petersburg, and Austin; counties such as Clackamas County and Boulder County; state departments in California and Maryland; and specialized entities like the Railroad Commission of Texas and Sourcewell cooperative purchasing vehicles. Recent solicitations show demand for volume soil supply agreements (ranging from 400 cubic yards for discrete events to 450,000 cubic yards for landfill cover), specialty infield mixes for athletic facility renovation, erosion control materials bundled with landscaping supplies, and environmental remediation work tied to contaminated-site excavation and restoration.

Geographic activity spans Texas (Dallas, Arlington, Austin, Railroad Commission), the Southeast (Greenville County South Carolina, DeKalb County Georgia, Florida municipalities), the Pacific Northwest (Clackamas County Oregon), Colorado (Boulder County), Maryland, Michigan (Jackson), Minnesota (Sourcewell), Missouri, and California. Recent representative opportunities include the City of Dallas's $2.2 million Residential Sidewalk Replacement Program (IFB, November 10, 2026 response) involving concrete curb, driveway approach, and site restoration work; Greenville County's conversion of four baseball infield fields to all-skin infields under RFP #27011 (response deadline September 4, 2026); the City of St. Petersburg's one-time supply of 400 cubic yards of double-sifted clean soil for the TASCO Mud Wars recreational event (RFQ, June 11, 2026); the State of California's three-year soil supply agreement (RFB-IS-26201088, September 4, 2026); and the Railroad Commission of Texas's Abandoned Mine Land (AML) Reclamation Services RFP (May 21, 2026) requiring comprehensive earthwork, highwall reduction, and revegetation across Texas sites. Boulder County's five-year landscape materials short-list (qualifications due May 27, 2026) and Clackamas County's aggregate rock products RFQ for county transportation maintenance (October 27, 2026) exemplify ongoing as-needed supply frameworks.
