UNSPSC 30120000: Roads and landscape

UNSPSC 30120000 Roads and landscape (Family) encompasses lawn and grounds maintenance, snow and ice removal, pavement repair and overlay work, and associated site improvements—the full spectrum of seasonal and ongoing upkeep that state and local governments procure for transportation infrastructure, public facilities, parks, and municipal properties. Recent solicitations reveal heavy activity in snow removal services, pavement milling and overlay, sidewalk and curb work, trail construction, line striping, and landscape management across parking lots, roadways, and grounds at transit facilities, courthouses, schools, utilities, and municipalities. The mix of issuing bodies is broad: state departments and transit authorities (Massachusetts Trial Court, MBTA, Massachusetts Department of Public Health, Massachusetts Department of Youth Services, Massachusetts Department of Transportation), county governments (Wicomico County Maryland, Macon-Bibb County Georgia, Osceola County Florida), cities and towns (Peoria Arizona, Harrisburg Pennsylvania, Meriden Connecticut, Stamford Connecticut, Draper Utah, Brockton Massachusetts, Worcester Massachusetts, Colchester Connecticut), boroughs (Honesdale Pennsylvania, Edwardsville Pennsylvania, Marietta Pennsylvania, Port Carbon Pennsylvania, Langhorne Pennsylvania), townships (Upper Hanover Pennsylvania, Robinson Pennsylvania, East Union Pennsylvania, Middle Smithfield Pennsylvania, Pine Grove Pennsylvania, Ridley Pennsylvania), special districts (Tohopekaliga Water Authority Florida, Metropolitan State University Minnesota), and regional cooperatives (Metropolitan Area Planning Council, Merrimack Valley Planning Commission). Massachusetts generates significant volume across state agencies and municipalities, but the code sees active procurement across Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, and selected Sunbelt jurisdictions.

The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority solicited landscaping services across 60 MBTA transit stations and facilities (Boston, Cambridge, Brookline, Quincy, and surrounding communities) under RFP 140-26, with proposals due November 20, 2026, covering lawn care, shrub and tree maintenance, mulching, and cleanup April through November annually on a three-year firm fixed-price contract; the City of Peoria, Arizona solicited ongoing asphalt-crack fill and seal services under IFB P270015, with proposals due October 30, 2026, at an estimated $400,000 to $600,000 annually. The Massachusetts Trial Court issued re-bid RFP for statewide snow and ice management across 22 geographic service clusters (proposals due October 14, 2026); the Town of Pomfret solicited IFB bids for Air Line Trail reconstruction and accessibility improvements (proposals due November 5, 2026) across Connecticut DOT's Transportation Alternatives Program; and the Metropolitan Area Planning Council (MAPC) coordinated multi-municipality cooperative procurements for public works—including roadway management, pavement markings, guardrail, catch-basin cleaning, sidewalk construction, and earth materials—across eight Metro West communities (MW 2027 PW1, due October 8, 2026 at $7.4 million estimated three-year value) and twelve South Shore communities (SS 2027 PW1, due October 8, 2026 at $5.957 million estimated first-year value). Pennsylvania prevailing wage requirements, MassDOT prequalification, and 5–10% bid bonds are standard across solicitations; most carry 100% performance and payment bonds and require equipment specifications, insurance minimums (typically $1–2 million general liability), and compliance with state employment-verification and nondiscrimination statutes.
