UNSPSC 72141000: Highway and road construction services

The buildingand repair of highways and streets owned by others

UNSPSC 72141000 Highway and road construction services is a Class code under which state and local governments procure the full scope of roadway, pavement, and drainage infrastructure projects—from arterial resurfacing and traffic signal installation to complete street reconstructions, bridge work, stormwater mitigation, and pedestrian facilities. Recent solicitations show that buyers fund this work through a mix of state transportation budgets, federal-aid programs (Federal Highway Administration, Build America Buy America Act compliance), community development block grants, and local capital improvement funds, with procurement heavily concentrated among state departments of transportation, county public works departments, city engineering divisions, and regional transit authorities.

Issuing bodies across the recent block span state DOTs (Texas Department of Transportation, California Department of Transportation, Massachusetts Department of Transportation), county engineering departments (Hillsborough County Florida, Ware County Georgia, Dorchester County South Carolina, Jefferson County Texas, Seminole County Florida), city public works and planning offices (South Jordan Utah, Sandy Springs Georgia, Johns Creek Georgia, Peoria Arizona, San Antonio Texas, Fort Myers Florida, Dania Beach Florida), and special districts (Town of Waterford Utility Commission Connecticut, Draper City Utah). The geographic mix is nationwide: Texas leads with fourteen recent solicitations covering preventive maintenance, seal coat, overlays, lane additions, and hazard elimination across twenty-plus counties; Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and California each show three to five active opportunities; and New England, Utah, and Arizona round out the tail. Representative recent work includes Ware County Georgia's CDBG-funded street and drainage improvements on Pine Forest Road and Deerwood Road (2.051 miles, ITB due November 23, 2026, Section 3 employment preference), Dorchester County South Carolina's resurfacing rebid of nine centerline miles across thirty roads using County Transportation Committee funds (IFB due October 14, 2026, Warm Mix Asphalt required), Bulloch County Georgia's S&S Greenway Phase 3 shared-use path extension (1.96 miles, federal-aid, GDOT prequalification mandatory, bids due November 13, 2026), and Jefferson County Texas's Garth Road Reconstruction Phase 1 (Davis-Bacon prevailing wage, DBE/M/WBE/VetHUB encouraged, sealed bids due November 4, 2026). Activity is robust and distributed—no single jurisdiction dominates, and recent posting dates cluster heavily in October 2026 with response windows spanning mid-October through mid-November, signaling broad end-of-calendar procurement cycles and a healthy pipeline for winter and spring construction seasons.
