UNSPSC 71101601: Shaft sinking

UNSPSC 71101601 Shaft sinking is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The three most recent opportunities posted under this code involve park irrigation system installation (City of DeBary, Florida), roadway widening and resurfacing (Broward County, Florida), and highway capacity expansion (Broward County, Florida) — none of which constitute shaft sinking work as traditionally defined in mining, construction dewatering, or underground utility installation contexts. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests this code sees little relevant activity in the state and local procurement market.

The City of DeBary posted an IFB (Bid 03-15) on October 19, 2026, for Rob Sullivan Park Irrigation Improvements, a $90,000 project to install a Hunter irrigation system with a 45-calendar-day completion window and April 10, 2015 bid deadline. Broward County Highway Construction and Engineering Division posted two separate IFBs in 2026 — Royal Palm Boulevard roadway widening and resurfacing (posted August 12, 2026; bids due September 14, 2026; $2.492 million total estimated cost with federal and surtax funding) and Pine Island Road Capacity Expansion from SW 36th Street to Nova Drive (posted May 1, 2026; bids due June 2, 2026). Both Broward County projects impose 30–40 percent self-performance or CBE participation requirements and require FDOT prequalification. Activity is concentrated in Florida, specifically Broward County and Brevard County municipalities. This code does not appear to represent a meaningful procurement category for state and local contracting.
