UNSPSC 72121508: Preparation plant construction service

Construction of plants used to clean coal prior to shipment.

UNSPSC 72121508 Preparation plant construction service is a Commodity code that covers the design, engineering, and construction of specialized processing and treatment facilities — including storage buildings, hangar structures, wastewater treatment systems, and landfill capping and remediation projects. State and local issuers across multiple jurisdictions are actively procuring under this code. The recent solicitations show a mix of state facility authorities (Michigan Department of Technology, Management and Budget; Michigan Department of Natural Resources; Michigan Department of Corrections), county governments (Flagler County in Florida; Collin County in Texas; Escambia County in Florida; White County in Georgia; Montgomery County in Pennsylvania; Beaufort County in South Carolina), cities (City of Gallup in New Mexico; City of Charlotte in North Carolina), school districts (Sandusky Community Schools in Michigan; Los Angeles Unified School District), and specialized authorities (Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue in Oregon; Clayton County Water Authority in Georgia; Western Oregon University). Michigan state agencies appear as the highest-volume recent buyer, posting dozens of opportunities across correctional facilities, state parks, and office buildings. Scope ranges from routine facility upgrades to complex environmental remediation — concrete and structural work, HVAC and plumbing replacement, site preparation and grading, environmental capping and remediation, asbestos abatement, and equipment installation. Prevailing wage requirements and service-disabled veteran business preferences (10% pricing under Michigan Public Act 91, or 5% bid security in other jurisdictions) are standard across the code's activity.

Recent opportunities span Florida, Michigan, New Mexico, Texas, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Oregon, North Carolina, and South Carolina, with Michigan dominating the posted activity. Representative recent work includes Flagler County Board of County Commissioners' ITB 26ITB019 for construction of two hurricane-resilient buildings at the Flagler County Fairgrounds (bids due August 17, 2026); Michigan Department of Technology, Management and Budget's RFQ for Rose Lake State Game Area facility improvements including demolition and new construction (bids due August 5, 2026); Michigan's RFQ for landfill capping at Bishop Airport Landfill covering 33 acres of site remediation with environmental compliance (bids due July 22, 2026); Collin County, Texas IFB 2026-240 for facade replacement at the Juvenile Detention Center (bids due August 20, 2026); and Escambia County, Florida's ITB for a new 12,780-square-foot fire station with three apparatus bays (bids due August 12, 2026). Mandatory pre-bid meetings, site visits, and prevailing wage compliance are routine. The code shows consistent activity with bid cycles concentrated in July through August 2026, typical multiple-award and low-responsive-bidder selection methodologies, and strong interest from general contractors with environmental remediation, detention facility, and public works experience.
