UNSPSC 22101615: Paving breakers

UNSPSC 22101615 Paving breakers is a Commodity code that state and local governments are buying primarily as part of larger demolition and site-preparation scopes rather than as standalone equipment purchases. The recent solicitations show this code applied to building demolition (concrete removal), roadway and park demolition (pavement and concrete breakup), and bridge replacement projects where foundation and structure removal is required. The issuing bodies include city public works departments, counties, and special-purpose authorities such as transit or brownfield redevelopment organizations. City of Marietta, City of Philadelphia, City of Union City, Orange County, City of Brownsville, Atlanta Beltline, and Santa Clara County appear in the recent records; Marietta and Atlanta Beltline each posted multiple demolition or construction scopes that would involve paving-breaker work.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Florida, Texas, and California. Representative opportunities include the City of Philadelphia's August 2026 micro-purchase RFQ for jackhammers (due August 20, 2026, not exceeding $45,000 adjusted annually by CPI-U), which directly solicits the product; the City of Marietta's October 2026 design-build RFP for a dumpster enclosure (due October 22, 2026) requiring demolition of existing concrete, curb, sidewalk, and asphalt; the City of Union City's August 2026 RFB for Shannon Parkway streetscape and park-phase demolition (due August 7, 2026) including removal of concrete and gravel; Orange County, Florida's June 2026 emergency bridge-replacement IFB (due July 7, 2026, estimated at $6,202,246.05) covering full bridge replacements with associated foundation work; Atlanta Beltline's July 2026 demolition RFB at three sites (due July 8, 2026) requiring 30% DBE participation; and Santa Clara County's May 2026 ITB for Central Expressway pavement rehabilitation (due May 21, 2026) including pavement repairs and removal. The code shows active demand but primarily embedded within larger infrastructure, demolition, or utility construction contracts rather than as a standalone equipment purchase category.
