UNSPSC 72141002: Highway and road sign or guardrail construction and repair service

The buildingand repair of highway and road guardrails and signs owned by others

UNSPSC 72141002 Highway and road sign or guardrail construction and repair service, a Commodity code, encompasses installation, repair, and maintenance of traffic control structures on roadways and highways—but the recent state and local solicitations show minimal activity directly aligned with this code's nominal scope. The opportunities posted since mid-October 2026 reveal a marked divergence: the code is tagged on opportunities for irrigation system upgrades, stormwater drainage improvements, sewer easement clearing, sidewalk construction, shared-use path and bridge work, and traffic signal installation—all infrastructure activities that sit well outside guardrail and sign construction and repair. Issuing bodies span city departments (DeBary, Fort Myers, San Antonio, Peoria, Johns Creek, Sandy Springs), counties (Hillsborough, Ware, Dorchester, Monroe, Seminole, Collier, Citrus), utilities (Town of Waterford), state departments (California Caltrans, Florida Department of Transportation, Texas Department of Transportation), and transit authorities. Texas TxDOT dominates the posting volume with dozens of state let construction contracts for preventive maintenance, resurfacing, overlay, seal coat, bridge work, and signal improvements across multiple districts and counties.

Geographic spread spans California (Alameda, Contra Costa, Solano, Sacramento counties via Caltrans); Florida (DeBary, Monroe, Collier, Seminole, Hillsborough, Citrus, Fort Myers); Georgia (Ware, Bulloch, Treutlen, Fulton); Texas (Nueces, Wise, Collin, Brown, Burleson, Webb, Lamar, Hunt, Lamb and 15 Panhandle counties, Milam, Haskell, Hidalgo, Galveston, McLennan, Denton, Eastland, Terrell, Pecos, El Paso, Travis, Hays, Coleman, Cass); Connecticut (Waterford); South Carolina (Dorchester); and Arizona (Peoria). Representative recent opportunities include Caltrans IFB 04A7645 for guardrail repair services across four Northern California counties (bids due October 29, 2026)—the single solicitation that directly matches the code's scope—and Jefferson County (Texas) IFB 26-066/MR for Garth Road Reconstruction Phase 1 under Davis-Bacon prevailing wage rules (bids due November 4, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent activity overall; the guardrail repair solicitation from Caltrans stands as the clearest signal of work actually being bought under this taxonomy.
