UNSPSC 71101604: Slope shaft construction service

Service to cut shafts at an angle rather than vertical for underground mining

UNSPSC 71101604 Slope shaft construction service is a Commodity code, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal relevance to the nominal scope. The four most recent solicitations posted across Florida—covering irrigation system improvements, retaining wall construction at a state park, roadway widening and resurfacing, and road capacity expansion—do not align with slope shaft construction work. The City of DeBary irrigation project involves installing a Hunter controller and flow meter system in an operational park; the Florida Department of Environmental Protection's Madison Blue Spring retaining wall projects specify rock gabion wall design; and Broward County's two highway projects focus on roadway capacity, milling, resurfacing, pedestrian infrastructure, and utility upgrades. None of these scopes involve shaft sinking, shafting for tunnels, or slope-shaft drilling.

The recent opportunities show activity primarily from Broward County (two highway projects posted May and August 2026 with response deadlines in June and September) and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (two related addenda on the Madison Blue Spring retaining wall with October 6, 2026 bid closure). The City of DeBary posted one irrigation project in October 2026. The geographic concentration is entirely Florida, with no recent opportunities identified outside the state. Given the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited, this code shows no current relevant activity for slope shaft construction services in state and local procurement.
