UNSPSC 72141103: Highway and road paving service

The paving of highways and roads owned by others

UNSPSC 72141103 Highway and road paving service is a Commodity code encompassing asphalt milling, resurfacing, overlay, and full-depth pavement reconstruction projects that state and local governments procure through competitive bids and RFQs. Recent solicitations show concrete work scopes: the City of Bowling Green, Kentucky (ITB 202712) sought approximately 9.7 miles of street overlay with milling, paving, striping, and handicap ramp replacement on October 23, 2026; the City of Bowling Green also issued an ITB for West Riverview Drive resurfacing (ITB 202713) requiring 670 linear feet of full-width asphalt rehabilitation with 4.5 inches of milling and 4.5 inches of new asphalt placement, due October 28, 2026. Issuing bodies pursuing this code span cities (Bowling Green, Waterbury Connecticut, DeLand Florida), counties (Volusia, Caroline Maryland, Wicomico Maryland, Greater Orlando Aviation Authority), towns (Farragut Tennessee, Avondale Pennsylvania), special districts (Central Florida Tourism Oversight District), and regional authorities; airport taxiway and apron rehabilitation appears as a recurring subset. Recent activity concentrates in Florida, Kentucky, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Utah, Georgia, and California; Bowling Green Kentucky alone issued two overlapping solicitations in early October 2026, and airport-related taxiway work appears across multiple states including Florida (Daytona Beach, DeLand, Leesburg, Kissimmee) and California (Sacramento, Orange County).

Representative solicitations include the Waterbury Connecticut RFP 8923WTBY (October 27, 2026 deadline) for Idylwood Avenue and East Main Street intersection realignment with milling, overlay, and full-depth reconstruction; Avondale Borough Pennsylvania ITB (August 13, 2026 deadline) for 1.42 miles of milling and overlay under prevailing wage; and greater Orlando Aviation Authority ITB 26-995-IFB (October 23, 2026 deadline) for stormwater pond dredging at Orlando International Airport with a 2% LDB/VBE participation goal. Procurement vehicles vary—competitive sealed bids dominate, though RFPs and RFQs appear for design-build and CM-at-risk airport projects. Federal funding through FAA Airport Improvement Program or FHWA triggers Davis-Bacon wage compliance, Buy American provisions, and DBE goals (ranging 0–22% depending on project and state). State-level resident-bidder preferences emerge in Kentucky procurements; SBE set-asides appear in California Caltrans work. Cost range from $168,000 (Draper City parking lot paving, August 2026) to $4.8 million (Daytona Beach taxiway rehabilitation, April 2026 deadline). Pursuit remains active across both routine street maintenance and capital-intensive airport infrastructure programs.
