UNSPSC 71101706: Overburden removal

UNSPSC 71101706 Overburden removal is a Commodity code that in recent state and local practice encompasses excavation, grading, and site preparation work associated with construction and infrastructure projects. The recent opportunities show minimal alignment between the code's nominal scope and actual solicitations — the tagged records instead document roadway widening and resurfacing (Broward County, Florida), park irrigation system installation (City of DeBary, Florida), and marine debris removal operations (Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission). The code shows little relevant recent activity under its stated commodity definition. Issuing bodies using this code include county highway departments, municipal public works divisions, and state natural resource agencies operating across Florida.

Recent opportunities posted in 2026 cluster in Florida, with Broward County Highway Construction and Engineering Division appearing twice on major roadway expansion projects (Royal Palm Boulevard widening and Pine Island Road capacity expansion, both issued as ITBs through the BPRO electronic bidding platform with response deadlines in June and September 2026). The City of DeBary issued a competitive bid for Rob Sullivan Park irrigation improvements in March 2015 with a $90,000 engineer's estimate and a 45-calendar-day completion window. The Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission issued a single-source notice for marine liveaboard dive vessel services in July 2026 supporting underwater debris removal in the Lower Keys, with an estimated contract value of $200,000 through July 2028. Geographic activity is concentrated in South Florida; no opportunities outside Florida appear in the recent record.
