UNSPSC 72141106: Gravel or dirt road construction service

The building and repair of gravel or dirt roads owned by others

UNSPSC 72141106 Gravel or dirt road construction service is a Commodity code that encompasses the full reconstruction, resurfacing, and improvement of unpaved and paved roadway segments serving state and local jurisdictions. State and local governments buy under this code to rehabilitate existing collector and arterial roads, reconstruct county roads and highways, install drainage and utility infrastructure within roadway projects, and perform ancillary site work including earthwork, surfacing, curb-and-gutter installation, signage, striping, and restoration. The issuing-body mix reflects county departments of transportation, state transportation departments, and county commissioners courts across rural and developing areas. County governments appear as the most active buyers, with Williamson County (Texas) and Dorchester County (South Carolina) posting multiple recent opportunities; the Texas Department of Transportation dominates the activity stream with dozens of concurrent state-let construction contracts spanning counties across the state.

Recent opportunities span Texas, Utah, New Mexico, South Carolina, Georgia, Oregon, Pennsylvania, and New Mexico. Representative projects include Williamson County's milling and overlay of CR 214 (ITB 26IFB65, due August 5, 2026), Dorchester County's Phase 2 of the Old Spell Road Improvement project—paving and drainage on 0.53 miles with bids due August 18, 2026—and Summit County, Utah's McLeod Creek Bridge Replacement Project (IFB, mandatory pre-bid meeting July 22, 2026, bids due August 5, 2026). Texas Department of Transportation has posted at least thirty state-let construction contracts in July 2026 with August response dates, including roadway resurfacing, rehabilitation, widening, hazard elimination, and related infrastructure work across dozens of counties, with estimated project costs ranging from under $500,000 to over $33 million. The City of Gallup, New Mexico's whole block reconstruction of Ciniza Drive (ITB-2701, engineer's estimate $1,314,439.83, due July 28, 2026) exemplifies the typical scope: pavement, sidewalk, curb-and-gutter replacement, utility improvements, ADA compliance, and traffic control within a compressed delivery schedule. Work is frequently subject to prevailing wage requirements, bonding mandates of 5–100 percent of contract value depending on size, and state-specific set-asides for resident contractors and certified business entities.
