UNSPSC 72140000: Heavy construction services

The building and repair of heavy construction projects including infrastructure

UNSPSC 72140000 Heavy construction services, a Family code, encompasses state and local procurement of infrastructure work including sidewalk repairs, water and sewer system installation and rehabilitation, stormwater management, roadway and bridge improvements, parking lot reconstruction, and utility coordination across municipal and county jurisdictions. Recent solicitations show state and local governments using this code for concrete heavy-civil delivery across drainage, paving, utility trenching, site preparation, and structural work on fixed-price, unit-price, and job-order-contract vehicles. The mix of issuing bodies spans city public works departments (Wichita, Long Beach, Orlando, Port Orange, Northampton), county engineering and water authorities (Hillsborough County, Orange County, Volusia County), state transportation and facilities agencies (Delaware DOT, Colorado Parks and Wildlife), transit authorities, school districts, and special-purpose districts. City of Wichita and Hillsborough County appear repeatedly as active buyers. Geographic activity concentrates in Florida (Hillsborough, Orange, Volusia, Monroe Counties; Port Orange; Tampa), California (Orange County, Long Beach), Kansas (Wichita), Delaware, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Texas, Colorado, and Utah, with smaller volume in Connecticut and other states.

Recent representative opportunities include the City of Wichita's English Sidewalk Improvements South Side (RFB #260144, October 30, 2026 deadline) combining lump-sum mobilization and measured concrete sidewalk placement; Hillsborough County Water Resources Department's Low Pressure Sewer System tank installations and repairs (IFB-26-00346, November 17, 2026 deadline, $4.41 million estimated value with 5% SBE goal); Orange County's Modjeska Grade Road road and drainage improvements (IFB-080-2914301-MG, November 3, 2026 deadline, $17.8 million estimated value requiring minimum 3% OCLSB or DVBE subcontracting); City of Port Orange's elevation of 11 flood-prone homes (RFP 26-24-CW, November 13, 2026 deadline, FEMA Hazard Mitigation Grant Program funded); and Hillsborough County's Kirby Street Pump Station #08 rehabilitation (IFB-26-00404, November 13, 2026 deadline, $1.47 million estimated value with 10% SBE goal). Most solicitations require three to five years' documented experience, prevailing wage compliance where applicable, performance and payment bonds at 100% of contract value, and bid security between 5% and 10%. Activity remains steady with multiple bid cycles per month across major metropolitan areas.
