UNSPSC 72141504: Timber removal service

The removal of timber from property owned by others

UNSPSC 72141504 Timber removal service is a Commodity code. State and local governments buy timber removal and vegetation demolition services under this code, but the recent opportunities reflect broader site demolition and environmental remediation work — the code sits within construction and facility services taxonomy that captures removal of structures and associated site work. Recent solicitations show demolition contractors performing complete property deconstruction including building removal, debris disposal, foundation excavation, and site restoration, often bundled with landscape clearing and environmental remediation. The code sees activity from regional land bank authorities, municipal public works departments, state natural resources agencies, and county environmental programs. The DeKalb Regional Land Bank Authority appears frequently, having solicited demolition and site restoration across multiple Georgia residential properties through RFQs posted in July 2026 — including work at 3298 Blanton Drive, 2692 Johnson Street, 6970 Braswell Street, and 1134 Pluma Drive in the DeKalb County area, all with July 28, 2026 quote deadlines and mandatory pre-site visits.

Recent activity clusters in the Southeast and South, with Georgia showing the most recent concentration (DeKalb Regional Land Bank Authority RFQs for residential demolition and site restoration), Illinois (Department of Natural Resources IFBs for mine shaft subsidence remediation in Braidwood, posted July 9 and June 23, 2026, due July 21 and June 29 respectively), and Texas (City of Brownsville solicitation for landfill cell construction and associated site improvements, posted July 4, 2026, due August 4). The City of Savannah posted a demolition structures RFP in June 2026 with bids due July 21. The opportunities are split between fixed-price lump-sum demolition contracts (typical for single-property residential work with 30-calendar-day completion windows) and unit-price or stipulated-sum environmental remediation and site stabilization (mine reclamation, subsidence repair, contaminated-soil excavation). Prevailing wage compliance and federal Buy America standards apply to state-funded projects; BEP and HUB subcontracting goals are present in Illinois and Texas opportunities. Bidders commonly face mandatory pre-bid conferences or pre-site visits, E-Verify participation mandates, and insurance minimums of $1 million general liability and $1 million automobile liability. Competition is immediate — most quote or bid deadlines fall within 10–21 days of posting.
