UNSPSC 72141503: Rock removal service

The removal of rocks from property owned by others

UNSPSC 72141503 Rock removal service is a Commodity code encompassing the excavation, stabilization, and removal of unstable rock and subsurface materials beneath roadways and other public infrastructure, along with site restoration and debris disposal. State and local governments procure this work primarily through demolition and site-restoration RFQs and ITBs, often bundled with foundation removal, debris hauling, and final grading when properties require clearing. The work ranges from small residential demolition projects to large-scale mine subsidence remediation and roadway stabilization on abandoned coal mine sites. Issuing bodies span regional land bank authorities, state departments of natural resources, cities, and counties pursuing infrastructure repair, blight remediation, or public safety reclamation. The DeKalb Regional Land Bank Authority appears as a repeat issuer, soliciting multiple residential demolition and site-restoration contracts in Georgia within the reporting window.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Illinois. The DeKalb Regional Land Bank Authority posted RFQs due July 28, 2026, for demolition and site restoration at four residential properties in the Atlanta and Lithonia area—3298 Blanton Drive, 2692 Johnson Street, 6970 Braswell Street, and 1134 Pluma Drive—all requiring mandatory pre-site visits and 30-day completion timelines; the Illinois Department of Natural Resources solicited bids due July 21, 2026 (amended from June 29 to July 21), for mine shaft subsidence remediation at Braidwood under Project AML-IWiE-2516, involving excavation of approximately 180 cubic yards of unstable subsurface material to 15-foot depth, concrete plugging, and roadway restoration. Additional activity appears in Texas (Brownsville landfill cell construction) and Michigan (culvert replacement requiring removal of existing structures and installation of new pipe arch culverts). Vendors pursuing these contracts must demonstrate prior demolition and site restoration experience, hold appropriate state licenses, carry minimum $1 million commercial general liability insurance, and comply with prevailing wage and NPDES stormwater requirements where applicable. Pre-bid meetings and mandatory site visits are standard; questions and response periods typically close 7–14 days before bid due dates.
