UNSPSC 71101702: Open pit mining services

UNSPSC 71101702 Open pit mining services is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and recent state and local solicitation activity. The code's abstract title suggests extraction or quarrying work, but the three most recent opportunities posted under it—two from Broward County, Florida and one from the City of DeBary, Florida—involve park irrigation system installation, roadway capacity expansion with signal and utility upgrades, and roadway widening with pedestrian and traffic signal improvements. None of these solicitations involve mining, extraction, or pit operations. The code appears to be either miscoded by the issuing bodies or reserved for activity that is not currently surfacing in recent procurement notices.

The geographic activity is concentrated in Florida, specifically South Florida (Broward County and the City of Coral Springs) and Central Florida (City of DeBary). Broward County has posted two recent ITB notices: Pine Island Road Capacity Expansion from SW 36th Street to Nova Drive (due June 2, 2026) requiring roadway widening, pedestrian paths, bulkhead construction, traffic signals, and utility upgrades with a mandatory 30 percent County Business Enterprise participation goal; and Royal Palm Boulevard from East of University Drive to Riverside Drive (due September 14, 2026) requiring roadway resurfacing, median construction, sidewalk replacement, ADA upgrades, and signal improvements funded through Federal Highway Administration and County Transportation Surtax Funds at a total project cost of $2.492 million with a 30 percent self-performance requirement for prime contractors. The City of DeBary posted a competitive bid (Solicitation 0315) for Rob Sullivan Park Irrigation Improvements (due April 10, 2015) involving Hunter irrigation system installation with an Engineer's estimate of $90,000. Given the consistent mismatch between the code title and actual procurement scope across all recent opportunities, this code shows little relevant activity for firms pursuing open pit mining or extraction services.
