UNSPSC 71101708: Soil flushing services

UNSPSC 71101708 Soil flushing services, a Commodity code, shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally covers soil remediation and subsurface decontamination work, but the three recent opportunities posted under this classification—a Broward County road capacity expansion project (Pine Island Road), a City of Fort Worth water treatment filter media procurement, and a City of DeBary irrigation system upgrade—represent general infrastructure construction, water utility supplies, and landscape irrigation work respectively, none of which involve soil flushing or environmental remediation. The issuing bodies span county departments (Broward County Highway Construction and Engineering Division), municipal utilities (City of Fort Worth water and wastewater treatment), and local parks departments (City of DeBary), indicating the code receives tagging from diverse jurisdictions, though the tagging appears to reflect miscoding rather than genuine demand for soil flushing services.

The recent activity concentrates in Florida and Texas, with no supporting evidence of soil flushing procurement in either state. Broward County's Pine Island Road project (ITB posted May 1, 2026, due June 2, 2026) solicits highway widening, utility upgrades, and dredging work. The City of Fort Worth's RFP 26-0173 (posted April 13, 2026, due May 7, 2026) seeks filter media supply for water and wastewater facilities on an as-needed basis. The City of DeBary's Bid 03-15 (posted April 13, 2026, but showing an outdated April 10, 2015 closure date) covers park irrigation system conversion. None of these opportunities reflect actual demand for soil flushing services, suggesting either systematic miscoding of these opportunities within procurement systems or absence of meaningful recent activity under this code. Business development professionals should verify whether their soil flushing or environmental remediation services align with the code's intended taxonomy before pursuing opportunities tagged under 71101708.
