UNSPSC 71101600: Mine drilling blasting and construction services

UNSPSC 71101600 Mine drilling blasting and construction services is a Class code under which state and local governments procure specialized drilling, well installation, and related subsurface work—though recent activity shows the code capturing a wider range of earth-moving and construction services than the name alone suggests. The recent opportunities span landfill gas extraction well drilling (Maryland Environmental Service), roadway capacity expansion with bulkhead and dredging work (Broward County), irrigation system installation (City of DeBary), and pavement preservation services (City of Peoria). Issuing bodies include county transportation and engineering divisions, state environmental agencies, cities, and special-purpose districts, with Broward County appearing as a repeat buyer on multiple large infrastructure projects. The scope of work under this code encompasses furnishing labor, materials, equipment, and incidental services for subsurface construction, utility coordination, traffic control, stormwater management, and permitting, with contract values ranging from approximately $90,000 for park irrigation work to multi-million-dollar highway and capacity-expansion projects.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Maryland, with notable work in Broward County, the City of Coral Springs, Harford County Maryland, and the City of Peoria Arizona. Representative opportunities include Broward County's Pine Island Road Capacity Expansion Project (posted May 1, 2026, response due June 2, 2026), an invitation to bid for roadway widening, pedestrian infrastructure, bulkhead construction, dredging, and utility upgrades with a 30 percent County Business Enterprise participation goal and liquidated damages of $7,442 per day for schedule delays; Broward County's Royal Palm Boulevard widening and resurfacing project (posted August 12, 2026, bids due September 14, 2026), a $2.49 million federal-aid and county-surtax-funded roadway improvement requiring 30 percent self-performance by the prime contractor and DBE participation; the Maryland Environmental Service's Harford Waste Disposal Center landfill gas extraction well and condensate drilling project (posted May 26, 2026, bids due June 26, 2026) with a 5 percent MBE participation goal and 100-day performance deadline; and the City of Peoria's $7.65 million Pavement Management Preservation contract (posted May 6, 2026, bid due May 22, 2026) for five-year delivery and application of polymer-modified slurry seal on city roadways. FDOT prequalification certificates and state licensing are prerequisites on federal-aid and state-involved projects; comprehensive bonding, insurance, and prevailing wage compliance are standard.
