UNSPSC 71101603: Mine bore hole drilling service

Drilling services used for underground mining

UNSPSC 71101603 Mine bore hole drilling service is a Commodity code that sees minimal direct application in recent state and local procurement activity. The three recent opportunities posted under or near this code—Broward County's Pine Island Road Capacity Expansion (IFB, June 2, 2026), the City of Fort Worth's Filter Media supply (RFP, May 7, 2026), and the City of DeBary's Rob Sullivan Park Irrigation Improvements (IFB, April 10, 2015)—involve roadway construction, water treatment supply, and park irrigation system installation respectively, none of which centers on bore hole drilling. The code's nominal scope (subsurface exploratory or production drilling) does not match the work actually being solicited under it in these instances, suggesting the code either carries significant legacy tagging mismatches or sees little current relevant state and local demand.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in Florida (Broward County and DeBary) and Texas (Fort Worth), but the sample is too narrow and the scope mismatch too pronounced to characterize meaningful procurement momentum under this Commodity code. Firms evaluating this code should verify whether recent RFPs, RFQs, or ITBs in their target states actually require bore hole drilling services—environmental site assessments, geotechnical investigations, water well installation, or mineral/aggregate exploration—rather than relying on posted UNSPSC tagging. The code may be more active under different issuing bodies or geographic markets than these three examples suggest, but the current visible pipeline offers no clear signal of sustained demand.
