UNSPSC 71101700: Extraction

UNSPSC 71101700 Extraction is a Class code covering earth and mineral material excavation, crushing, grading, and site preparation work that state and local governments procure for park improvements, infrastructure stabilization, and quarry operations. The recent solicitations under this code show concrete demand for gravel pit crushing and stockpiling, irrigation system installation involving subsurface work, and mine stabilization through subsurface grouting—work that often involves excavation, material processing, or subsurface intervention to enable downstream construction or park use. Issuing bodies include state natural-resource departments (Minnesota Department of Natural Resources), county highway and public-works divisions (Broward County Highway Construction and Engineering Division, Pittsburgh Department of Public Works), and municipal parks and public-works departments (City of DeBary, City of Pittsburgh). These are primarily IFB and sealed-bid solicitations with firm fixed-price or lump-sum structures, often requiring significant insurance, bonding, and performance compliance.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Minnesota, with secondary presence in Pennsylvania. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources issued an IFB on July 14, 2026 (due July 28, 2026) for crushing and stockpiling approximately 15,000 cubic yards of Class 5 aggregate at the Summer Gravel Pit in Beltrami Island State Forest; the City of Pittsburgh Office of Management and Budget issued IFB #2026-IFB-194 on September 29, 2026 (due October 12, 2026) for Fort Pitt Park mine stabilization involving 143 grout injection boreholes to an average depth of 35 feet with mandatory DBE participation goals (18% Minority-Owned, 7% Women-Owned, 5% Veteran-Owned Small Business, 3% LGBTQIA+) and a requirement for five completed mine-stabilization projects within three years; and the City of DeBary, Florida posted Bid 0315 on October 19, 2026 (due April 10, 2015) for Rob Sullivan Park irrigation improvements including irrigation system conversion and installation at an Engineer's estimated cost of $90,000 with a 45-calendar-day completion requirement. Activity in this code reflects specialized subsurface and material-processing work with relatively infrequent solicitation cycles, suggesting a watch rather than pursue posture unless your firm has documented capability in grouting, aggregate processing, or park utility installation.
