UNSPSC 72141400: Detention facility construction and repair services

The building, maintenance and repair of detention facilities

UNSPSC 72141400 Detention facility construction and repair services is a Class code covering the full range of construction, renovation, and specialized facility work that state and local governments procure for correctional, detention, and custody environments. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show work spanning new facility construction, major renovations, building systems upgrades, and specialized detention-related buildout—including holding cells, interview rooms, evidence storage, and security infrastructure. The code sees activity from diverse issuing bodies: county sheriffs' offices and correctional agencies, city police departments, state departments of corrections, and county facilities departments. Georgia and Florida dominate the recent opportunities, with additional activity in Texas and nationwide spread among smaller counties and municipalities.

Representative recent opportunities include the City of DeBary, Florida's Public Safety Complex (sealed proposals due November 13, 2014, IFB Bid 06-14, estimated cost $1,100,000) encompassing a 5,655-square-foot facility housing police administrative functions, holding cells, interview rooms, and evidence storage with mandatory pre-bid on October 29, 2014; the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission's solicitation on behalf of the Georgia Department of Corrections for a new Transitional Center in Warner Robins (qualifications due November 6, 2026, RFQ PE40900RFQC2027000000248, preliminary Stated Cost Limitation $25 million) for preconstruction and construction management at-risk services; and the Hood County, Texas jail addition project (competitive sealed proposals due November 20, 2026, RFP202608) restricted to firms with prior Texas jail or jail-addition experience. The code shows no recent opportunities distinctly aligned with detention facility work in several recent postings tagged to it—including park irrigation, rec center design, and transit shelter procurement—suggesting occasional tagging mismatches in the source data. Pursuit viability is strong in jurisdictions with active capital improvement programs and state correctional expansion initiatives, particularly in Georgia and Florida.
