UNSPSC 72141510: Demolition services

UNSPSC 72141510 Demolition services (Commodity) covers complete removal of residential, commercial, and industrial structures; site clearance and debris disposal; foundation removal; hazardous materials abatement including asbestos and lead paint remediation; and site restoration and grading. State and local governments are actively procuring demolition services across diverse issuing bodies—municipal departments, county transportation and property management offices, regional land bank authorities, school districts, universities, and special-purpose authorities. Recent activity shows substantial demand driven by urban redevelopment, disaster recovery programs (CDBG-DR funding), right-of-way clearance for transportation projects, and blight elimination initiatives.

Geographic concentration spans the Southeast (Georgia, Kentucky, Florida), Mid-Atlantic (Pennsylvania, Connecticut), and select municipalities in the Southwest and Upper Midwest, with notable activity in Georgia (multiple DeKalb Regional Land Bank Authority RFQs for residential demolition; Georgia DOT right-of-way clearance), Kentucky (Kentucky Transportation Cabinet multi-parcel FHWA-funded demolition packages in Fayette, Floyd, and Nelson Counties), and Florida (Fort Myers derelict vessel removal, Hillsborough County disaster rehabilitation). Recent representative solicitations include the City of Fort Myers RFP26067 for derelict vessel removal services with continuing-contract structure and disaster response capability (proposals due August 18, 2026); Kentucky Transportation Cabinet RFB60526000006942 for demolition of residential structures in Fayette County under FHWA funding with Davis-Bacon wage requirements (bids due July 23, 2026); the DeKalb Regional Land Bank Authority's multiple RFQs for single-family residential demolition and site restoration across metro Atlanta (DeKalb RFQ DRLBA-07082026-04 at 3298 Blanton Drive, quotations due July 28, 2026); the City of New Haven ITB 2026-ITB-377 for emergency mixed-use building demolition with 25% MBE/WBE utilization goal (bids due July 15, 2026); and Atlanta Public Schools RFP 26-12182032-P-AB for design-build demolition across five facilities with scoring on MWBE subcontractor outreach (proposals due July 30, 2026). Caltrans IFB 07A6388 (Los Angeles and Ventura Counties) and IFPQ 04A7578 (nine Northern California counties, limited to certified SB/MB/DVBE) show state-level transportation procurement. Work typically requires performance and payment bonds at 100 percent of contract value, commercial general liability of $1 million to $2 million per occurrence, compliance with prevailing wage on federally funded projects, and completion timelines of 15 to 60 calendar days depending on project scope and funding source.
