UNSPSC 46211603: Minefield or mine hazard area marker

Emplacement of a measure or combination of measures to identify the position of a mine or minefield hazard or the boundary of a hazardous area. This may include the use of signs, paint marks etc., or the erection of physical barriers.

UNSPSC 46211603 Minefield or mine hazard area marker is a Commodity code whose posted activity shows significant mismatch between the nominal code scope and what state and local governments are actually soliciting. The two recent opportunities on record involve roadway safety infrastructure and traffic control equipment rental—guardrail replacement, concrete barriers, crash cushions, traffic striping, and portable traffic control devices—none of which align with minefield or mine hazard marking. The issuing bodies are Santa Clara County, California and the City of Tucson, Arizona, both pursuing conventional transportation and event management work unrelated to the code's stated purpose. This code appears to carry little relevant recent activity for vendors in the minefield marking or related hazard-marking business lines.

The geographic spread across this code is limited to California and Arizona based on the two posted opportunities. Santa Clara County issued an ITB for Expressway Guardrail Replacement and Safety Barrier Improvements (solicitation ITBRDAFY260652, due April 23, 2026) involving removal and installation of guardrails, concrete barriers, crash cushions, and thermoplastic traffic striping on a 45-working-day timeline following a mandatory pre-bid conference on April 14, 2026. The City of Tucson posted an RFP for Traffic Control Equipment rental (RFP 240010, due November 3, 2023) with an estimated annual budget of $150,000 and requirements for Section 3 Worker participation at 25% of labor hours, compliance with Federal Transit Administration and Buy America regulations, and response capability within 3 hours for emergencies and 2 days for scheduled pickups. The mismatch between code title and actual procurement scope suggests either miscoding in the state and local system or that this Commodity designation is not actively tracking the minefield marker procurement activity—if any—among state and local public bodies.
