UNSPSC 20101711: Rock breakers

UNSPSC 20101711 Rock breakers (Commodity) describes portable or mounted equipment used to break, fragment, or pulverize rock and concrete debris during demolition, site preparation, and infrastructure removal work. State and local governments procure rock breakers—typically as subcontractor equipment or as part of broader demolition and excavation scopes—when executing building demolition, bridge removal, pavement rehabilitation, and emergency infrastructure replacement projects where rock or concrete fragmentation is required. The recent solicitations under this code show light activity: rock breakers do not appear as standalone purchases but rather as embedded equipment needs within larger demolition and civil work packages. Cities, counties, and special-purpose districts issuing demolition and infrastructure work may tag equipment or tools with commodity codes when documenting scope, though the code itself does not reflect standalone equipment sales dominance in the posted opportunities.

Recent activity includes the City of Union City, Georgia (RFB-PS-26-05, due August 7, 2026) for Shannon Parkway demolition and streetscape improvements requiring site preparation and debris removal; Orange County, Florida (Y26-742, due July 7, 2026) for emergency bridge replacement at an estimated cost of $6,202,246.05; the City of Brownsville, Texas (26326PLNIFB, due July 29, 2026) for on-call building demolition services; and Atlanta Beltline, Inc. (DC2026103, due July 8, 2026) for demolition at three sites with a 30 percent DBE participation goal. Geographic spread includes Georgia (Union City, Marietta, Atlanta), Texas (Brownsville, Conroe), Florida (Orange County), California (Santa Clara County), and Maryland. The code sees modest use as a component descriptor within larger demolition, bridge, and pavement projects rather than as a primary procurement vehicle for rock-breaking equipment itself.
