UNSPSC 72141502: Land pre-construction assessment service

Assessment of construction site soil composition and condition, topography and vegetation prior to construction

UNSPSC 72141502 Land pre-construction assessment service is a Commodity code that state and local governments use to classify site preparation, clearing, grubbing, and earthwork activities preceding main construction, though recent state and local solicitations show the code is being applied to a broader range of land disturbance and demolition work—including tree removal, debris clearing, erosion control installation, and site restoration—that may or may not require formal pre-construction assessment. Counties, cities, transit authorities, and special-purpose districts issue most opportunities under this code; Gwinnett County in Georgia emerges as a repeat issuer, posting multiple pedestrian and intersection improvement projects. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Florida, and portions of the upper Midwest, with Georgia generating the densest recent posting activity across the first half of 2026.

Representative recent opportunities span clearing, grading, and site stabilization: Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners posted the Ridge Road at South Puckett Road Intersection Improvements Project (sealed bid, due July 30, 2026) encompassing clearing, grubbing, grading, sidewalk and curb work across 0.5292 miles; the City of Jackson Parks & Recreation Department solicited design and construction of 12.5 miles of mountain bike trail (RFP, due August 10, 2026) involving trail rehabilitation, decommissioning of unsustainable segments, vegetation management, erosion control, and drainage improvements; and the DeKalb Regional Land Bank Authority requested demolition and site restoration services at a residential property in Atlanta (sealed quotation, due July 27, 2026) including structure demolition, debris removal, foundation work, grading, stabilization, and erosion control. The Harris County Flood Control District issued multiple ITBs for stormwater detention basin construction and watershed repairs (bids due mid-June through late July 2026), while the Illinois Department of Natural Resources posted Abandoned Mined Lands remediation projects including embankment work, tree removal, and erosion control (bids due May–June 2026). Work is typically solicited as IFB, ITB, or RFP with response windows of two to six weeks, often funded through CDBG, FEMA, federal infrastructure grants, or state capital programs, and frequently carries prevailing wage, bond, and federal compliance requirements when public funds are involved.
