UNSPSC 71101710: Mine machinery rental or leasing service

rental or leasing of mining machiney

UNSPSC 71101710 Mine machinery rental or leasing service is a Commodity code covering equipment rental with operator for mining-related and heavy-construction drilling operations. State and local governments soliciting under this code seek specialized drilling rigs, compactors, dozers, paving equipment, and mobile dewatering systems on short-term and master-agreement rental bases. Issuing bodies span state transportation departments, county governments, municipalities, transit authorities, and special-purpose districts including sewerage and waste management agencies. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet has dominated recent activity, posting five parallel solicitations in July 2026 for offset drill rigs with operators supporting railroad-rail installation in Highway District 5, establishing a pattern of state DOT procurement for roadbed stabilization work. Beyond drilling, the code captures broader equipment rental for landfill operations (Sacramento County), paving support (Hillsborough County), wastewater treatment (Hillsborough County again), and emergency response equipment (Denton County, North Las Vegas). These solicitations reflect the code's practical scope: furnished equipment paired with operator labor, inclusive of mobilization and site support, priced on daily, monthly, or per-unit-of-work bases, and structured as both short-term rentals and master agreements spanning one to five years with optional renewals.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast and Southwest, with Kentucky leading through the Transportation Cabinet's Highway District 5 drilling contracts (federal and state variants, due July 24, 2026), Florida heavily represented by Hillsborough County (centrifuge dewatering, paver rental, and wastewater equipment across multiple ITQs and ITBs), and North Carolina, California, and Texas showing secondary presence. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet solicitations (RFB60526000006961, RFB60526000006962, RFB60526000006972, RFB60526000006971) frame representative work: modified rotary drills with 130-HP-or-greater motors, 16,000-pound pull-down pressure, and 300-CFM air compressors to drill 7–10 inch holes and install steel railroad rails up to 40 feet long, with 800 linear feet per 8-hour-day minimum production rates, $500–$1,000 per day liquidated damages for shortfalls, and firm pricing for 12 months plus optional renewals through July 31, 2027. Similar work appears in Sacramento County's landfill compactor leasing (RFP 2026RFP0059, due July 22, 2026, with detailed equipment specs, 95-percent availability penalties, and comprehensive warranty and telematics requirements), Hillsborough County's mobile sludge dewatering units (ITB2600167, due April 2, 2026, estimated at $6.623 million over five years), and Denton County's emergency equipment rentals (ITB25-2893, due April 23, 2026). Insurance requirements, operator certification, and compliance with OSHA and federal prevailing-wage standards appear across solicitations. The Charlotte procurement (IFB 2692026217, due September 9, 2026) represents broader, less-specified demand, while Orange County's small equipment rentals (IFB 250129 and IFB 250254) demonstrate sub-category activity in portable fencing, generators, and light towers. Activity is moderate and geographically dispersed; repeat bidders in Florida, Kentucky, and California indicate sustained regional demand rather than market concentration.
